- the single letter amino acid code (properties: alanine (a, glycine (g, cysteine (c, proline (p, leucine (l) Isoleucine (i: valine (v, tyrosine (y, tryptophan (w, threonine (t, phenylalanine (f, histidine (h, lysine (k, asparagine (n, aspartic acid (d, glutamine (q, glutamic acid (e, arginine (r, serine (s, methionine (m) - how to interpret a pedigree, including how to recognize dominant or recessive inheritance. - explain complementation tests: determines whether multiple mutations resulting in the same phenotype are the result of different alleles at different loci, determined by mapping mutations to the chromosome. - explain the overall strategy of genetic analysis with model organisms. - solve problems like the ones in the back of chapter 2 in hartwell or some similar text. Examples were given in the lecture and were on the quiz. - describe features of the model organisms (especially the information in. Clearly, we are much more closely related to our mothers than to a mouse.
