Question

 Single gene Mendelian inheritance patterns: if you are told the phenotype of the parents and whether  the trait is dominant or recessive etc, be able to predict the genotype of the children.  If you are told the  phenotype of the parent as well as the inheritance pattern, be able to predict the parent’s genotype. 

 Be able to set up and use a Punnett square to solve problems and make predictions.       

  • Be able to explain the major steps in how information from our genes is used to make proteins.  Or to  show it in a labeled diagram. 
  • Be able to explain whatis transcription, translation.  Where in the cell do these processes occur? In  what order?  What type of molecules are being made [DNA, RNA, protein]? What are their building  blocks? 
  • What is a mutation? How can a mutation in DNA cause a change in a protein? (use the following terms  to answer:  codon, transcription, translation, mRNA).     
  • What is gene expression? Why is regulation of gene expression important for normal development? In  cancer?  
  • What are the building blocks of DNA? Of RNA?  Of proteins?
