DNA, RNA, gene expression, development

1. EXAM ON WEDNESDAY
Ch. 13, 14, 15, 16 – Molecular Genetics
3X5 NOTECARD

2. REVIEW
1. I will introduce the topics for each chapter
2. You will spend 5 minutes reading over your
notes for that chapter
3. I will then take requests to explain,
elaborate, etc requested topics for ~ 8
minutes
4. Then we will move on to the next chapter
