Chapter 13 Opening Video
This video sets the stage for what students will learn about DNA and genes in Chapter 13.
Animated Genome
This video explains what a genome is through animations.
X-Ray Diffraction
This video shows how to use an X-ray diffractometer, which is illustrated in Figure 13.5.
DNA Visualization
This video shows how DNA coils and replicates, as illustrated in Figure 13.8.
DNA Extraction
This video shows how to extract DNA from various samples.
Protein Folding
This simulation allows students to see the effects of solvent and amino acid side chains on protein folding, which is illustrated in Figure 13.11.
Protein Structure
This simulation allows students to investigate the primary, secondary, and tertiary structures of proteins.
CRISPR/Cas 9 Explained
This ACS Reactions video explains how CRISPR works and will help with answers to Your Turn 13.14.
