Document Summary

Differentiate between mendelian and non-mendelian patterns of inheritance. Interpret a pedigree to determine patterns of inheritance. Associate the g1 checkpoint control to uncontrolled divisions in cancer. Diagram the process and outcomes of meiosis i and ii. Dissect the relationship between phenotype and genotype. Summarize the major phases of the eukaryotic cell cycle. Discriminate between the different ways that cells can communicate with each other. Diagram how signal transduction pathways receive, process, and respond to information. In signal transduction phosphatases remove a phosphate group from a substrate changing its activity. When a signal is transduced the physical form of the signal changes from one form to another. In general, a signal transmitted via phosphorylation of a series of proteins results in a conformational change of each protein. Phosphorylation cascades involving a series of protein kinases are useful for cellular signal transduction because they amplify the original signal many times.
