Chapter 10 Gene Expression and Regulation The learning goals listed below are the broad concepts you should understand for this chapter. The learning outcomes list the concepts you should know or the things you should be able to do at the end of this unit. Some of the learning outcomes will be covered in class and the remainder you should achieve through reading, studying, and homework. Learning Goals and Intended Outcomes Learning Goal Learning Outcome(s) 1. Understand the conversion of genotype to phenotype. 1.Define key terms in gene flow. (p.187 of text) 2. Explain how the results of the Beadle and Tatum experiments confirmed the one gene one enzyme hypothesis. 3. Compare and contrast RNA and DNA structure. 4. Diagram the flow of genetic information from DNA to protein in eukaryotic cells. 5. Use the genetic code to demonstrate flow of genetic information from DNA to protein. 6. Distinguish between /among frequently confused terms (e.g. transcription and translation). a. Understand that information flow is regulated at multiple levels. Name/list points of regulation along the information flow pathway. b. Appreciate consequences of mis-regulation. Provide positive and negative consequences of mis-regulation c. Understand that not all mutations are bad (a common misconception) Provide examples of the effects of mutations in the hemoglobin gene using Table 10-4 2. Appreciate universality of information flow in all eukaryotes. Provide examples of information flow in fungi, plants, animals.
