Day 53, pp. 313 to 324; this will probably need two days

 A decent amount of this chapter will be skipped, it's very technical and some is a repeat of what we've done before.  From this point out on the genetics we will be doing one chapter every day to three days, there's just too much this year to get hung up on early chapters just because they happen to come first.  We have pp. 269 to 509 and then pp. 545 to 1247.  That's 942 pages over the course of 172 days, assuming we want to spread it over the whole year, which we don't, we have an astronomy section first and a senior who wants to get a little bit of a break the last month of school like her public school peers get to have.  So that's 5 pages a day, but if we cut the chapters so we're doing 15 to 30 pages a day that will give us the right balance, and we can also focus in more on the stuff they're interested in.


So, protein synthesis.



Protein synthesis, try to focus! (9)


protein synthesis (5)



this is actually more than you need to know right now, but it reminds you of the basics and then shows you it gets more and more complex (5)


wobble (2)


protein synthesis (5)


signal peptide (1)


mutations, let's try Khan (5)


mutations (7)


mutations (8)







Quiz, pp. 313 -- 324
