How can you use data from STR close relatives to create a genetic profile of a missing person? How much genetic diversity exists between brothers? These and other questions will be answered with these activities.

This site from the Acadia University provides the basic structure of DNA and RNA and a decent compare/contrast between the two.

Study proteins and amino acids in the science of biology including how they are made using DNA, transcription, and translation and different types of proteins on this site.

Discusses the characteristics of and differences between nucleosides and nucleotides as well as the significance of each in medicine.

Purines and pyrimidines are nucleotides. Their properties are described here and their differences are highlighted. Includes examples of each.

A stop codon is a nucleotide triplet in messenger RNA that signals the end of a protein during the translation process. Read about how this works, the different types of stop codons, and how a mutation can sometimes occur.

A start codon is a nucleotide triplet in a genetic sequence that occurs at the start of a protein's synthesis. Read about how this works and how a mutation can sometimes occur.
