-
Pages: 3A summary of the quiz for chapter 26, which touched on the most important concepts of the chapter. -
Pages: 3This short review goes over the concepts of population genetics and hardy-weinberg equilibrium calculations. -
Pages: 6A simple overview of the study of population genetics and patterns in evolution. -
Pages: 3This is a brief review of chapter 24 (patterns of inheritance and cancer). -
Pages: 5This part of the chapter goes over how cancer develops, inheritance patterns, and cancer's relationship to genetics. -
Pages: 5A review of patterns of inheritance in relation to genetic diseases. -
Pages: 3An overview of the important concepts about DNA technology (DNA sequencing and cloning technology). -
Pages: 6An overview of historical and modern technologies that can help us with pollutants, study genetics, and increase and improve production of plants and animal products. -
Pages: 4This chapter introduces the basics of copying genetic material using recombinant DNA technology including gene cloning and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). -
Pages: 2A comprehensive review of chapter 19 involving recombination and transposition. The general concepts in this chapter are homologous recombination models, gene conversion, and transposition. -
Pages: 3This is a general review for the chapter 19 quiz on homologous recombination and transposition. Not all topics are covered in this review, but the main concepts of the chapter are discussed using multiple examples. -
Pages: 3This chapter goes more in depth with mechanisms of recombination in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. It also describes the mechanism of transposition, or the relocation of small segments of DNA from one position on the chromosome to another. -
Pages: 4A comprehensive review of the major concepts of chapter 18. The main focus is on types of mutations and DNA repair. -
Pages: 5This part of the chapter finishes talking about the nature of mutations and discusses the various mechanisms of how proteins repair these mutations and abnormalities. -
Pages: 5This half of the chapter goes over the many types of mutations that occur to the eukaryotic genome. These mutations are oftentimes not epigenetic and result in alterations to the DNA sequence that are usually not reversible. -
Pages: 4A comprehensive look at chapter 16 (epigenetics and RNA interference in eukaryotes). This review included topics of epigenetics, mRNA half life, splicing regulation, and RNA interference. -
Pages: 4This problem set briefly covers the most important topics of chapter 16 to prepare for the quiz. The topics addressed are RNA interference, alternative splicing, epigentic inheritance, genetic imprinting, and mRNA half-life. -
Pages: 6An in depth look at epigenetics and epigenetic inheritance in eukaryotes. This chapter explains the concept of how genetic expression is regulated in embryonic development and how epigenetics plays a role in development and tissue differentiation. -
Pages: 6A review of the main concepts of chapter 15 (gene regulation). The main ideas of this chapter are the lac operon, the CREB protein, and chromatin remodeling. -
Pages: 8Overview of transcriptional regulation mechanisms in eukaryotes. Complexity and multicellularity of eukaryotes demands more diverse and complex mechanisms for transcription regulation. -
Pages: 6An in depth look at how bacterial gene expression is regulated. This chapter addresses both the overall concepts of gene regulation and a specific example of regulation in E. coli. -
Pages: 7A summary of the main concepts of chapters 12 and 13: transcription and translation in bacteria and eukaryotes. -
Pages: 9A detailed description of how proteins are formed from mRNA through the mechanism of translation. -
Pages: 9An in depth look at transcription in bacteria and eukaryotes. This chapter goes through the mechanism of transcription and the differences between bacteria and eukaryotes. -
Pages: 5An overview of the process of DNA replication in bacteria and eukaryotes.
