Format
Oral examination. Duration: no more than 25-30 minutes. The candidate is asked 2 questions on topics that
were covered during the lectures. These topics are summarized at the end of each lecture. The candidate
provides a detailed answer (approx. 10-15 minutes per answer). Although students are encouraged to answer
in English, the candidate can choose to answer in Czech.
Grades
What is tested is the student’s ability not only to answer a given question, but also to explain how the results
that he/she describes were generated (choice of techniques, experimental design, interpretation of results, etc.).
The evaluation takes into account answers to both questions.
1 – Excellent
2 – Good
3 – Average
4 - Fail
Examples of questions

Consists of bacterial and archeal homologs.
Consists of bacterial and archeal homologs. Archae-derived genes are involved in information
processing. Bacterial-derived ones are involved in metabolism. At least one example provided for
each.

Reaction sites. Regulation. Storage. Examples for each: nucleolus (rRNA synthesis), PML (viral
metabolism), speckles (splicing factors). Describes an experimental result pointing to the function of
the nuclear body, e.g. enlargement of speckles after inhibition of transcription.
