TEST ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!
The first exam will be given during lecture period on tuesday. It is designed to be a 50 minute exam, but you will have the entire period to complete it. You will only be given additional time if you have submitted a permission sheet from the office of disabilities services.
The exam will have 10 fill-in, worth 2 pts each, and 12 short answer questions worth 6 pts (8) and 8 pts (4).
There will NOT be a statistical question on this exam (like, from the lab). There WILL be one question from the labs we have had; probably emphasizing a topic covered by one of the questions on a lab handout.
As always, many of the test questions will be straight from the study questions.
1. Draw the cell cycle, labeling each stage and highlighting the main event in each stage.
2. Draw a chromsome before and after replication; use the terms chromosome and chromatid.
3. What enzyme begins the process of DNA replication?
4. Draw a separated double helix (replication fork), and show how the new strands are synthesized in a continuous and discontinuous manner.
5. How is the product of DNA replication "repaired" to make a complete DNA double helix?
6. Draw a cell, 2n = 6, and show each of the stages of mitosis. Write a brief description of the events of each stage.
