Final exam is on Thursday May 18th from 130 to 330 in Room 0226 in HJ Patterson (Lecture Hall)

 

 

Chapter 3: Extensions to Mendelian Inheritance, need to know Mendel’s Laws and how to use them!!!

 

Chapter 4: Meiosis and Chromosome Theory, Morgan’s/Bridges work with nondisjunction

Gametes are haploid, zygotes diploid and how independent assortment is explained by independent assortment of chromosomes.

 

Chapter 5: 3 Point Cross

 

Chapter 6: Experiments of Griffiths, Avery, Hershey and Chase, experiments that shed light on the basic structure of DNA, Fig 3-5,15,16,19,22

 

Chapter 7: Luria-Delbruck fluctuation experiment, Replica plating experiment, Complementation test, Beadle and Tatum experiment

 

Chapter 8: Genetic Code, Figs 6, 11, 24,

 

Chapter 9: restriction enzymes,  Fig 16 and 17.

Chapter 10: microarrays (understand their definition)

 

Chapter 13: especially effect on gamete production (inversions, translocations, etc.) and polyploidy.

Chapter 14: Method of bacterial conjugation, role of plasmids in conjugation.

 

Chapter 15: focus on uniparental inheritance on not on biochemistry

 

Chapter 16:  Especially focus on PaJaMo experiments

 

Chapter 17: Figures 4, 5, 11, 16, 17

 

Chapter 20: know how to do HW type problems, apply selection equations similar to exam 2.

 

The test will be all objective with fill in the blanks, multiple choice and of course problems requiring math.

 

 

 

 

Definitions: Definitions as in hand-out, there will be approximately 20 definitions, with definitions present but you have to supply the word.
