Double Helix

Hello Biology students!

This week is definitely going to be an interesting one, as we take a deeper look at the structures we have become familiar with in chapters 10 and 11: chromosomes.

We start the week by finishing the Double Helix movie we started last week--a film by the BBC which gives attention to the climate of the times in which Watson and co. pushed to find a structure for the all-important DNA molecule.

When watching the film, keep close attention to the competitive nature of the individuals involved, as well as their personal presentation, and the director's take on each of their personalities. We'll discuss the accuracy of the work on Tuesday.

Enjoy!
