Adding questions about DNA structure and replication

You may want to supplement this DNA extraction with a discussion/worksheet activity on DNA structure and replication, available at /exchange/bioactivities/DNA .  Another approach is a hands-on activity in which students extract DNA from their cheek cells, relate the steps in the procedure to the characteristics of cells and biological molecules, and learn key concepts about DNA structure and replication during the intervals required for the extraction procedure. This activity is available at /sci_edu/waldron/#dna
