Pages: 18The "Final Exam Study Guide" describes the format of the final exam, and details the information for the cumulative and new sections of information that will be covered on the final exam. This information was collected from the professor's two exam reviews, as well as what she overviewed in class. -
Pages: 8"Overview of Material Covered Post-Exam 3" covers all of the material that the professor covered after the third midterm. All of this information will be represented on the final exam, and includes gene to protein synthesis, the molecular biology of cancer cells, mutations, viruses, RNA processing, gene expression, and MicroRNAs. -
Pages: 2"Molecular Biology of Cancer" explores how cancer cells operate, and how cancer, as a disease, thrives and lives within host cells, based on the two altered main protein-coding genes. miRNAs are explained as a potential cure for cancer. -
Pages: 4“Mutations and Viruses” explains the types of gene mutations and how they occur. It also details the processes involved in viruses, including how the operate, replicate, and different types of viruses. -
Pages: 11Exam 3 Study Guide: The Cell Cycle, Meiosis, and Genetics includes an overview of the exam format. It answers all questions asked during the in-class review, as well the questions the Professor has emphasized. The topics of study are meiosis, mitosis, Mendelian genetics, and the molecular basis of inheritance (chapters 12-16). -
Pages: 4"Exam 3 Review" contains the questions and answers that were discussed during the exam review session. -
Pages: 4“Molecular Genetics” outlines the relationship between DNA inherited genetics and cell activities. The processes involved in the two main stages (translation and transcription) are described in-depth, including the necessary tools to make each process occur. -
Pages: 6"Chromosomes, Chromosome Alterations, and Genetics Problems" thoroughly describes all of chapter 15. This includes an emphasis on chromosome alterations, and how this applies to problems involving genetics. Included are the practice problems assigned and their step-by-step solutions. -
Pages: 2"Problems With Mendelian Genetics” concludes Chapter 14 by focusing on the issues that have been associated with the theory of Mendelian Genetics (Lecture 16). -
Pages: 5"Mendelian Genetics” outlines Chapter 14, beginning with the history of genetics, then focusing on Gregor Mendel’s discoveries based on his experiments. The experiments are briefly described; attention revolves around his concept of the laws of genetics, and how they are interpreted today. It concludes by describing how Mendelian Genetics affects humans, and human genetic disorders. -
Pages: 4Meiosis and Sexual Life Cycles describes the processes of reproduction, delving into sexual reproduction specifically. It outlines meiosis I and meiosis II, and compares them to mitosis (asexual reproduction). The sources of genetic variation are also detailed, focusing on the 3 main sources of variation: independent assortment of chromosomes, crossing over, and random fertilization. -
Pages: 13"Exam 2 Study Guide: Cellular Structure, Cellular Respiration, Fermentation, and Photosynthesis" covers all of the material from lectures 7 through 12, including questions that are guaranteed to be on the exam, in addition to the processes of respiration, photosynthesis, fermentation, and the overall structure of a cell. -
Pages: 3"Cell Division" details how cells divide, the processes involved in cell division, mitosis, and how cells self-check themselves through their lifespan. -
Pages: 2"The Cell Cycle" outlines in detail the processes involved in the cell cycle and photosynthesis. It compares the cycles involved in animal cells versus the ones in plant cells, how they relate to each other, and introduces the vocabulary involved in describing the cell cycle. -
Pages: 3Cellular Respiration Part II describes the final two processes involved in cellular respiration. A table is included in the important parts of all four steps of cellular respiration are broken-down. Fermentation is also outlined. -
Pages: 3Cellular Respiration Part I outlines the introduction to cellular respiration in addition to explaining what redox reactions are. Of the four steps of cellular respiration, the first two are explained in Part I. -
Pages: 4Enzymes and Chemical Reactions outlines in detail the processes involved in cells that utilize enzymes as catalysts. It also explains how chemical reactions are utilized for energy in the cell, and what factors can affect/inhibit those reactions from taking place. -
Pages: 2Metabolism and Energy briefly introduces the concept of metabolism, and how energy works within the cells and chemical reactions. -
Pages: 4The Components of a Eukaryotic Cell outlines the basic structures found in all Eukaryotic cells, including their basic structure and functions. Diagrams with appropriate labels outline where the components are within the cell. -
Pages: 15Exam 1 Study Guide: Lectures 1-7 covers chapters 1-7 in the book, as well as detailing the important aspects of the lectures. There are sample questions taken directly from the professor's review sessions, as well as all of the questions from the pop quizzes during classes. It is a comprehensive review of the first part of the semester. -
Pages: 4Membrane Structure and Function discusses the structure of membranes, and how that affects the function of membranes. It details the function of membranes in both animal and plant cells, how water moves about the cell, and how molecules and atoms are transported across the membrane. -
Pages: 5Nucleic Acids and Lipids: Structure and Function discusses the properties of the last two macromolecules that are necessary for Biology 101, including the structure, types, and properties of both. -
Pages: 4Proteins & Introduction to Carbohydrates: An in-depth analysis of the function and structure of proteins, and the structure of the amino acids that compose proteins. With the extra time left in class, Professor Vance introduced the structure and function of carbohydrates briefly, elaborating through monosaccharides. -
Pages: 6Carbon and Molecular Diversity: Lecture 4 discusses carbon and carbon bonds; it also includes descriptions of the important types of isomers, hydrocarbons, and functional groups. A chart is provided to explain structure and function of the 6 functional groups, and a brief introduction to Macromolecules is included. -
