-
Pages: 4An overview of the general structure of bacterial chromosomes, as well as the compaction of DNA in chromosomes and what the compacted DNA-protein structure is called (nucleosome). -
Pages: 4This short chapter goes over the basic structure that composes DNA and RNA, focusing on the unit of DNA/RNA: the nucleotide. The nucleotide is composed of phosphate group, pentose sugar, and nitrogenous base. These components work together to form the single stranded RNA and double helix DNA. -
Pages: 2This chapter goes over the variation in the appearance of chromosomes and the variation in genetic material. The abnormal variations in genetic material and number of chromosomes is the primary focus of this chapter. -
Pages: 5an introduction to linkage, linkage groups, and recombination (crossing over). The focus is primarily on a few experiments that demonstrate the concepts of linked genes and crossover, including how to calculate significance of data using the chi square test and how to calculate the number of map units between genes. -
Pages: 5Review of Chapter 5 concepts of epigenetic inheritance, which includes maternal effect, X inactivation/dosage compensation, and genomic imprinting. Specific examples are used to illustrate these concepts, especially the Igf2 gene. -
Pages: 4This lecture goes over the rest of chapter 5, covering the other non-Mendelian patterns of inheritance. These patterns include genomic imprinting, imprinting and DNA methylation, extranuclear inheritance, maternal inheritance. -
Pages: 4An overview of Chapter 5 with an emphasis on the maternal effect and epigenetic inheritance. The mechanism and examples of the maternal effect are covered. There is also an in depth look at epigenetic inheritance, including dosage compensation and x-inactivation. -
Pages: 7A review of Quiz 2 including explanations of the answers to each question. The concepts addressed in this quiz were from chapters 3 and 4 and included different patterns of mendelian inheritance as well as a review of chromosome terminology and pedigree analysis. -
Pages: 8This lecture reflects chapter 4 in the text and discusses all of the different complexities of Mendelian inheritance in which there are not just recessive and dominant alleles. It also discusses gene interaction and gives specific examples of each term. -
Pages: 4This lecture briefly goes over mitosis and meiosis and talks about the terminology associated with the chromosome. Included are the chromosome theory of inheritance and the concept of x-linked inheritance. -
Pages: 5This is a review of the concepts addressed on the first quiz in this course. The concepts included mendelian genetics, modes of inheritance, pedigrees, punnett squares, and probability. There were multiple choice and short answer questions. Each answer is explained. -
Pages: 3A review of cell reproduction vocabulary, eukaryotic chromosome inheritance, mitosis, and meiosis -
Pages: 4An overview of Mendel's Laws, how to read and analyze pedigrees, description of probability and probability laws including the product rule, binomial expansion equation, and chi square test. -
Pages: 4New vocabulary is introduced, Gregor Mendel's experiments with pea plants are discussed along with patterns of inheritance. Mendel's two hereditary laws are introduced, Punnett squares are reviewed. -
Pages: 2A quick glance over the topics that will be covered over the course of the semester including the study of genetics, inheritance and heredity, DNA and RNA, and DNA technologies.
