Pages: 50This is a comprehensive study guide for the final exam, which is on Dec. 17 from 7pm-10pm. Good luck, everyone! -
Pages: 2Today, we reviewed for the final exam by playing a game of jeopardy which consisted of many practice questions. I have included a few, not all, of the questions and answers. The rest can be found on elc New under the lecture tab "Review". Good luck studying for the final, guys! You got this! -
Pages: 3Dr. Constable went over Charles Darwin's observations and inferences regarding evolution. Additionally, she discussed various discoveries (found via direct observation, homology, etc) that further validated Darwin's theory of evolution. -
Pages: 2Today, we discussed the underlying principles and concepts related to Darwin's theory of evolution. Also, Dr. Constable went over the different mechanisms which result in variation, something that permits flexibility and survival of a population in the face of changing environmental circumstances. -
Pages: 4Dr. Constable went over the Hardy-Weinberg equation again and explained why it doesn't work for small populations. Additionally, she defined some basic terms associated with microevolution. -
Pages: 4Dr. Constable discussed, in detail, how to calculate allele frequency and showed us a few example questions. -
Pages: 3Today, Dr. Constable started the population genetics unit by discussing basic terms, such as carrying capacity, immigration and emigration (three terms related to population change). Additionally, she introduced us to the Hardy-Weinburg equation and showed us a few examples in which we had to use the equation. -
Pages: 26Genetics & Inheritance. This study guide for Exam 4, which is on Monday, November 1, includes material from the textbook, lecture notes and homework. This exam will cover everything from mitosis/meiosis (Ch 12.1-12.2 and 13) to genetics and inheritance (Ch 14 and 15). This guide is perfect because it provides concise, yet detailed, explanations regarding all the topics you need to know. Good luck! -
Pages: 4Today we talked about genetic recombination and crossing over, a process which takes place during prophase I of meiosis. During this process, nonsister chromatids exchange corresponding segments of DNA molecules. -
Pages: 4Today, we talked in detail about human inheritance and went over several important topics and terms. Additionally, we went over Thomas Morgan's discoveries regarding mutations in fruit fly. These discoveries were extremely important and paved the way for future research pertaining to the field of genetics and human inheritance. -
Pages: 2Not a lot of material was covered in class today, because Dr. Constable gave us a worksheet to work on during class. However, we did cover a few things regarding genetics and inheritance, including epistasis and polygenic traits. -
Pages: 3We discussed in great detail Mendel's laws of inheritance and rules pertaining to different particles and traits. Dr. Constable explained the difference between a monohybrid and dyhybrid cross and showed us several example test questions. -
Pages: 4Today, we started the genetics unit and began discussing the different laws and theories associated with it. The two most important laws talked about today were Mendel's law of segregation and law of independent assortment. -
Pages: 2Today, we briefly talked about the two different types of reproduction (asexual and sexual) and compared mitosis and meiosis. Thereafter, we discussed in detail the different phases of Meiosis I and Meiosis two. Meiosis occurs in humans, animals, plants and fungi and create only sex cells. -
Pages: 4Today, we talked about mitosis and the different phases associated with it. This process, which occurs in eukaryotic cells, is very important in ensuring that the cell replication occurs properly. -
Pages: 30This is the study guide for Exam 3, which is on Monday, October 27. This guide includes material from the textbook, lecture notes and homework. Good luck! -
Pages: 4Today, we covered material in Ch. 20, which focuses on DNA technology. She spent a considerable amount of time talking about genetically-modified organisms and what they are used for so make sure to go over this stuff and read the corresponding textbook pages. -
Pages: 5Today, we distinguished between prokaryotic and eukaryotic gene expression and regulation by discussing these processes in detail. In addition, we defined important terms pertaining to each in order to understand the processes a little better. -
Pages: 4We spent most of class time today working on a bonus assignment (~40 mins); however, Dr. Constable did go over the different types of mutations in the beginning of class. -
Pages: 4In continuation with last week's lecture, we talked more about DNA and discussed the central dogma theory, which tells us how DNA makes protein. Dr. Constable went over the three stages of transcription and the major players (proteins, etc.) in ensuring this process takes place smoothly. Also, we learned how DNA produces proteins in cells and we ended the lecture by discussing DNA mutations. -
Pages: 4In class, we discussed the process by which DNA replicates and gained further insight into the complexities of this structure. To understand the nitty-gritty details about DNA replication, Dr. Constable talked about replication forks and the various proteins and structures involved in allowing replication to take place smoothly. -
Pages: 6Today, we started talking about DNA and its importance in our body as the structure containing genetic material. In addition to discussing the history of DNA and its discovery, we talked about the components of the molecule and how it replicates. -
Pages: 21This study guide includes information from the textbook, notes and homework regarding cells, energy & enzymes, cellular respiration and photosynthesis. -
Pages: 4Today, we finished the photosynthesis chapter by talking about the Calvin cycle, an important step of photosynthesis in which glucose is synthesized from carbon dioxide. In addition, we talked about C4 and CAM plants and how they use different mechanisms to deal with hot, dry conditions. -
Pages: 4Today, we started talking about photosynthesis, describing in detail its two main processes: light-dependent and light-independent reactions. In addition, we discussed the main structure of plants responsible for carry out photosynthesis--chloroplasts. Finally, we briefly covered cyclic electron flow, but will talk more about it and compare it with non-cyclic electron flow in class on Friday.
