Biological Proccesses - Genetics
8 important questions on Biological Proccesses - Genetics
Mendel's 1st law of segregation (4 postulates)
- Genes exist in alternative forms (alleles), that controls a specific trait
- An organism has 2 alleles for each gene, one from each parent
- The 2 alleles segregate during meiosis, forming gametes that carry only one allele for any given inherited trait
- For every 2 alleles, one is dominant and 1 is recessive. Only the dominant allele will be expressed
Mendel's second law of independent assortment
Ex: plant's color is independent of the the plant being a dwarf
** in non-mendelian genetics due to crossing over we see that some traits tend to be linked together, but they are still able to be separated and occur without the other
2 common sex linked conditions:
Occur because they are recessive on the X chromosome, and men do not have another X chromosome that could carry a dominant allele to mask the recessive gene
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
Can men with sex-linked conditions pass the condition on to their offspring?
Environmental affect on gene expression
Ex: fur color in hares based on temp., crooked/ straight wings in drosophila based on temp.
Cytoplasmic inheritance of genes
DNA is found in the mitochondria, and in cytoplasma (plasmids). These DNA molecules can interact with nuclear genes and can determine characteristics of organelles. Bacteria can regulate drug resistance by the use of plasmids in the cytoplasm which can be passed from one cell to another via conjugation.
Inducible gene regulation
Repressor is always bound to the operator unless an inducer binds to the repressor, changing its shape and removing it from the operator.
Repressible gene regulation
Repressor is always inactive unless it is bound by a corepressor. This changes the repressor's conformation, allowing binding to the operator and preventing transcription.
Corepressors are often end products of the pathway being controlled.
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
