the new lesson

EXPLAIN
e. Discussing new concepts What is Central Dogma?
 The central dogma states that the pattern of information that occurs most frequently in our cells is.
  From existing DNA to make new DNA (DNA replication) From DNA to make new RNA
(transcription) From RNA to make new proteins (translation).

What is DNA replication?

- DNA replication is the process by which a double-stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two
identical DNA molecules. Replication is an essential process because, whenever a cell divides, the two new
daughter cells must contain the same genetic information, or DNA, as the parent cell.
What are the steps of DNA replication?
 Step 1. An enzyme called helicase breaks the bond between nitrogenous bases. (Two strands
of DNA split).

 Step 2. A bases attached to each strand then pair up with the free nucleotides found in

cytoplasm.

 Step 3. The complementary nucleotides are added to each strand by DNA polymerase to
form new strands.
 (The teacher will play a short video about how DNA replicates)

ELABORATE (Students apply the information learned in the explain) 15 minutes

a. Making generalization about the lesson “Fill in the chart”
 The students will fill in the diagram of the DNA replication process based on what they have
learned from the discussion.
 The class will be divided into three groups for this activity.
