Topics: Chemistry review Sugars and carbohydrates Lipids Amino acids and proteins Nucleic acids, DNA, and RNA Learning Objectives: • Recognize biological molecules (monomers and macromolecules) and identify the important chemical features. • Describe the function of macromolecules in biology, including carbohydrates, proteins, fats/lipids, and nucleic acids. • Use complementarity to produce RNA and/or DNA strands from a given coding or template strand. • Predict how molec...

1. In pea plants, round pea shape (R) is dominant to wrinkled pea shape (r) and green pod color (G) is dominant to yellow pod color (g). True-breeding wrinkled, green pod plants are bred to true-breeding round, yellow pod plants, yielding F1. The F1 plants are interbred to yield F2. 2. In garden tomatoes, round fruit (R) is dominant to oval fruit (r). Yellow fruit color (CY) is co-dominant with red fruit color (CR), such that the heterozygote CYCR has fruit with red and yellow splotches. ...

Topics: Mendel and his pea plants Alternatives to dominant-recessive inheritance Lethal alleles Pedigree analysis Genetic linkage and crossing-over Sex chromosomes in humans Changes in chromosome numbers: aneuploidy and euploidy Chromosomal aberrations Learning Objectives: • Solve genetics problems involving linkage, sex-linked inheritance, dominant/recessive alleles, incomplete dominance, codominance, and epistasis, for a maximum of three loci. • Analyze pedigrees to determi...

Topics: DNA structure Replication of DNA Learning Objectives: • Identify the key proteins and enzymes needed for DNA replication and describe the purpose of each. • Explain the mechanism of replication as it occurs in bacteria. • Identify and explain how the nature of the eukaryote genome complicates replication; explain how those difficulties are addressed

Topics: Oxidation/Reduction (redox) reactions and electron carriers Glycolysis Citric acid cycle Oxidative phosphorylation Connection of other metabolic pathways to respiration Regulation of glucose uptake in cells Respiration without oxygen Learning Objectives: • Label the substrates, products and enzymes used in glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, lactic acid fermentation, and alcohol fermentation, then use this figure to write complete reaction equations...

Topics: Cell theory, The three-domain organization of life, Archea, Bacteria, Eukaryotes, Specialized cell junctions Learning Objectives: • Identify, label, and explain the function of the major structures and organelles of bacterial and eukaryotic cells. • Predict the function or location of eukaryotic cells based on their structure, features, and junctions. • Explain the factors limiting the size and shape of cells. • Compare mitochondria and chloroplasts in terms of structure a...
