This document contains questions about genetics concepts covered in a lecture, including the structure and function of DNA, genes, chromosomes, alleles, how genetic information is passed from generation to generation through meiosis and fertilization, the role of genetic information in determining traits and evolution, and key terms involved like DNA, genes, alleles, chromosomes, transcription, translation, and replication. It asks the student to draw diagrams of alleles for different eye colors and a concept map linking the listed genetics terms.

Genetics Problem Set 1 (First Lecture, 19 Agu 2010):
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
What is DNA and what does it do?
What is a gene and what do genes do? What is an allele? Draw 2 alleles for different eye color in a cell. What is a chromosome? How is genetic information passed from one generation to the next? How does genetic information function within a single organism? Where does genetic information exist within cells? 7. What makes individuals of a species unique (in their appearance, ability to respond to different environmental conditions)? 8. What role does genetic information play in evolution? 9. Draw a concept map using the following 20 terms. It is acceptable to use plural forms of words; words can be used more than once but try to avoid this: Allele DNA Gene Meiosis Mitosis Chromosome mRNA Amino acid Protein Enzyme Trait Nucleotide Gamete Haploid Diploid Cell Organism Transcription Translation Replication
