Document Summary

Now that you understand the processes of replication, transcription, and translation, you can proceed to learn about what happens when these processes do not work properly. This is the last unit to work on for midterm test 1. Midterm test 1 includes questions from units 1 to 8. Refer to the course schedule and course website to determine the exact date and time you will write midterm test 1. Unit activities: read the following sections in chapter 8 of your textbook. The summaries and/or guidelines provided with the reading list will direct you to the examinable parts of each textbook section: section 8. 1: genetic change in bacteria. The term mutation refers to changes in dna sequences. You know from unit 7 that when dna is replicated, new cells receive a copy of the dna that is identical to the parental dna. As such, mutations are heritable characteristics that are transferred to offspring.
