CELL DIVISION & GENETICS
1. Mitosis & Meiosis & the Cell Cycle
 Diploid vs. haploid
 Somatic vs. germ cell
 Importance of each process
 Stages. What happens? When?
 Spermatogenesis & Oogenesis
2. DNA in different forms
 DNA basic structure. Remember
nucleotides? Drawings?
 What is a gene? Centromere?
 Homologous Chromosomes
3. Mutations & Cancer
 Mutations: Good? Bad? Indifferent?
 Mutations: Caused by what?
 Cancer: Types?



Variation & Meiosis. Why important?
Compared to Prokaryotic cell division
Nondisjunction


Autosomes vs. Sex chromosomes
Karyotype

Oncogenes & Tumor Suppressor Genes

4. Sexual vs. Asexual Reproduction
 Advantages & disadvantages to each.
5. Differential Gene Expression
 Central Dogma? What is this?
o Enzymes involved?


How does a zygote become something
much, much more complicated?
What is differential gene expression?
And why is it important?
Organic Molecules: Monomers? Polymers? Examples? Functions? Elements?
 Nucleotides
 Carbohydrates
 Lipids
 Proteins
