Document Summary
Unit 1 exam review: 25 mc (3pts each), 5 sa (5pts each, 10:10 - 11:59 (whole day, no time limit, leave and come back, no lockdown browser (yay!!, use notes (and internet, friday (sept 4th) Unit 1 on review day: red blood cells are deformed shape, fragile, and break easily, amino acid #6 in beta-globin chain of hemoglobin change from glutamate (polar) to valine (nonpolar) Induce mutations phenotype: reverse genetics, the gene is known but its function is not well understood, disrupt or change gene and see what phenotype it produces, gene knockout. Inherited traits are controlled by genes residing on chromosomes that are transmitted through gametes (keeping genetic continuity from generation to generation) Genetic variation: terms, alleles, alternative form of a gene, ex: eye color, mutations, any heritable trait in dna sequence, source of genetic variation, genotype, set of alleles for a given trait, phenotype, expression of genotype produces observable features.
