What is "Navigate"?
Generating these study tools while reading or notetaking is useful when preparing for an assessment.
What are "study guides, flashcards, and/or unlabeled diagrams"?
The central dogma is the progression of DNA to RNA to protein through these two processes.
(please include which step each process is)
What is "transcription of DNA to RNA" and "translation of RNA to protein"?
The difference between a non-polar covalent bond and a polar covalent bond.
What is "a non-polar covalent bond is when the two bonded atoms have the same charge, while a polar is between atoms of different charges"?
The key differences between diffusion and osmosis.
