Study GEN.3 with SOL PrepBack to Biology II Genetics

What students need to be able to do

  • Describe the mechanisms for regulation of gene expression in prokaryotes and eukaryotes at the transcription and translation levels.
  • Make, support, and evaluate a claim about the role of introns and exons in gene expression.
  • Explain the effect of different environmental conditions on phenotypic expression resulting from the same genotype.
  • Make, support, and evaluate a claim about the benefits of exercise, diet, and other lifestyle factors or family history on epigenetic gene expression.
