*Test is 50 questions
The exams are built from the lecture materials and the review is built from the exam. The
purpose of the review is to give you a guided set of concepts to focus more in depth on in
order to prepare for the exam. It is NOT the exact exam questions! It is a place for you to
start.

1. Sex linked traits and examples of conditions
2. Autosomal chromosomes versus sex chromosomes
3. Define nondisjunction and know some types of nondisjunction disorders

5. Genomic mapping- which cross is best to determine order of genes?
6. Relationship between recombination frequency and physical distance of genes on a
chromosome

Ch. 14
7. Where is the phosphate group attached between carbon atoms of each nucleotide?
8. Structure and process of DNA replication – what does it mean to be complementary? Built
semiconservative?
9. Enzyme functions: DNA helicase, primase, polymerase, gyrase
10. What did Griffin discover regarding transformation? What does it mean?
11. What is Chargaff’s rule?
12. Explain the leading and lagging strand in DNA replication: what is happening on each strand;
how is each strand built; what are Okazaki fragments?
13. Know the base pairing rule
14. What is the replication fork?

16. What does photolyase do at thymine dimers? Why is it important?
17. What end is DNA always built from?
How can aneuploidy happen leading to conditions, such as Down’s syndrome, as a result of a
trisomy? (more than 2 sets of chromosomes) (think cell cycle)

Ch. 15
18. Central Dogma of Biology
19. Protein synthesis steps and where they occur
20. Introns and exons and splicing during mRNA editing
