Table of Contents:

Part 1: The Basics of DNA

Here we discussed a bit about what DNA is, the molecule itself and an overview of what its use is in the cell.

Part 2: DNA Replication

Here we went into a bit more detail about the protein mechanisms by which a new copy of DNA gets created

Part 3: Protein Expression

Here we took things a step further and went into some of the details about how information is extracted from DNA and is turned into the functional component of the cell known as a protein.

Part 4: DNA Damage

Here we returned to our discussion of DNA itself, learned a bit about what DNA damage means and went through a few examples of types of damage. We also discussed what changes those damages can cause on newly generated DNA and the cell.

Part 5: DNA Damage Repair

In this final background post we expanded on the the discussion of Part 4 and learned about some of the ways the cell goes about repairing those damages. We also discussed some of the consequences of those repair processes.
