Mendelian Genetics
In terms of Mendelian Genetics, discuss the following: dominant and recessive traits, phenotype and genotype, homozygous and heterozygous, and alleles.
What types of gene or protein families may be important for multicellularity?
What types of gene or protein families may be important for multicellularity? Can we compare the genomes of different multicellular lineages like animals and plants to identify the most important genes critical for multicellularity? Why or why not?
Describe the experiment used to determine the directionality of protein synthesis
Describe the experiment used to determine the directionality of protein synthesis. Why was it essential to stop protein synthesis quickly and remove incomplete chains? What would be the results if they didn’t perform this step?

Which one of the following statements is true when comparing starch and cellulose?
Which one of the following statements is true when comparing starch and cellulose? Starch is made of amino acids and cellulose is made of glucose monomers. Starch is made from a different enantiomeric form of glucose than cellulose is. Starch is a disaccharide whereas cellulose is a polysaccharide. […]
Explain how the duplication of Hox genes and Hox gene complexes
Explain how the duplication of Hox genes and Hox gene complexes relates to the evolution of novel characteristics and new body plans in vertebrates.
Define the distinguishing characteristics of chordates and vertebrates
Define the distinguishing characteristics of chordates and vertebrates, and contrast them with the characteristics of other animal phyla.
