outline the mitotic cell cycle, including: • interphase (growth in G1 and G2 phases and DNA replication in S phase) • mitosis • cytokinesis
outline key structural features of a prokaryotic cell as found in a typical bacterium, including: • unicellular • generally 1–5 μm diameter • peptidoglycan cell walls • circular DNA • 70S ribosomes • absence of organelles surrounded by double membranes
describe how the information in DNA is used during transcription and translation to construct polypeptides, including the roles of: • RNA polymerase • messenger RNA (mRNA) • codons • transfer RNA (tRNA) • anticodons • ribosomes
