right/wrong then review the pages in the book that information is on)
Site
Lesson overviews all 3 sections
Assessments self test all 3 sections
Activities 12-2 (base pairing), 12-3 (replication & pro/euk comparisons)
Chapter 12 resources Vocab (flashcards & matching), Assessment (you will get immediate
feedback on multiple choice questions the open ended are great sample questions to do
for practice and you can certainly ask me to check them, but you will not get feedback
