Guided Notes Final

This document contains notes from a biology lesson on DNA, chromosomes, transcription, and translation. It includes diagrams of DNA structure, chromosomes, and RNA types. Key terms are defined related to DNA components like nucleotides and base pairs, chromosome components like histones and centromeres, and processes of transcription and translation like initiation, elongation, termination, promoters, and codons. Students are prompted to fill in notes on these topics and complete an activity decoding a nucleotide sequence to its corresponding amino acid chain.
