Organic Compunds: The important biochemical molecules & their elements
required? Difference between starch,
 Nucleotides. Structure. What for?
How related? How different? Types
glycogen, cellulose. Building blocks.
of nucleotides. Building blocks
How are they produced.
 Proteins. Made of? Types. How do
 Lipids. Examples? Water soluble?
they relate to nucleic acids? Types of
Salad dressing. Saturated vs
proteins. Building blocks
unsaturated. Building blocks
 Carbohydrates. A favorite? Elements?
 ATP. Ex. Where is the energy?
Ratios? Simple and complicated. What
Mitosis & Meiosis & the Cell Cycle
 Diploid vs. haploid
 Somatic vs. germ cell
 Importance of each process
 Stages. What happens? When?
 Spermatogenesis & Oogenesis
DNA
 DNA basic structure. Remember
nucleotides? Drawings?
 What is a gene? Centromere?
 Homologous Chromosomes

Variation & Meiosis. Why important?
Compared to Prokaryotic cell division
Nondisjunction
Autosomes vs. Sex chromosomes
A karyotype
Genotype vs. Phenotype

Mutations & Cancer
 Mutations: Good? Bad? Indifferent?
 Mutations: Caused by what?


Cancer: Types?
Sexual vs. Asexual Reproduction
 Advantages & disadvantages to each.
Differential Gene Expression
 Central Dogma? What is this?
o Enzymes involved?
 How does a zygote become something
much, much more complicated?
