...The genetics of S. cerevisiae Biology 2 Genetics of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Part 1: Introduction & Determination of Phenotypes Overview You will be given three strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (named A, B, and C), each with a different genotype. The hypotheses for this study are (1) identify the phenotypes and genotypes of the three strains in regards to their ability to synthesize leucine, and uracil; and (2) determine whether these genes follow Mendel’s Second Law and assort independently. Goals and objectives of this project: • • • • • Learn how to work with S. cerevisiae, a model organism that is powerful for genetic research Experimentally explore genetic concepts (auxotroph vs. prototroph, genes vs. alleles, diploid vs. haploid, complementation, segregation and independent assortment, meiosis vs. mitosis, genotype vs. phenotype) Develop and test scientific hypotheses Learn to work with a microscope, micropipettor, microcentrifuge and hemacytometer Learn about the genetics of metabolism How this project will be graded: 1. Your scores for Question Sets 1, 2, and 3 will be combined into a single grade. That grade will be included in your Lab Average for the course. Your Lab Average will be included in your final semester average as described in the syllabus for this course. (the deadline for the question submission will be determined in class depending on the progress of the lab) 2. Your scores for Question Sets 4, 5, and 6 will...

...Basic Pharmacology is a senior level/graduate level course which will make use of representative groups of pharmacologic agents to introduce the basic principles of pharmacology. Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics will be the main focus of course, but concepts of cell biology, anatomy, physiology and pathology will be incorporated to present a thorough understanding of the action of drugs in the human body. The course will not cover all the major drug groups, however. The course will require study and mastery of assigned topics and chapters, and so the textbook is necessary. More importantly, the main educational goal of the class is to develop competencies deemed essential in the field of biomedicine, as reported by the AAMC-HHMI special committee. The course will require that students work through the Blackboard resources of the UM-Flint website. Students are responsible for gaining access to the Internet as needed. It is highly suggested that students avail of the resources of the UM Flint library and computer labs as much as possible. Course Objectives 1. To know basic pharmacologic terms and definitions 2. To understand concepts specific to pharmacology 3. To apply these basic concepts to the use of commonly known drugs 4. To analyze the relationship of drug action to physiologic signs and symptoms Textbook (Required) Brody’s Human Pharmacology (Molecular to Clinical) 5th Edition, by Lynn Wecker with Lynn Crespo, George Dunaway, Carl Faingold and Stephanie...

...In the 4th quarter of 9th grade science we continued our study of chemistry with a focus on chemical formulas, chemical reactions, and stoichiometry. Formative assessments included practice questions on how to write proper names and formulas for chemical compounds, balancing equations, converting between chemical units, and titration problems. The lab experiments for the quarter consisted of a freezing point experiment, chemical flame test comparison, the activity series of four metals, production of hydrogen, and the titration of an unknown concentration of acid. Summative assessments for the quarter were an evaluation of the freezing point experiment, written exploration of the flame test experiment, and two unit exams on chemistry topics. In 10th grade students will study science topics related to biology, environmental science, and some...

...administered to diabetic dogs. After the treatment, blood glucose levels decreased the dogs seemed to be healthier and free of diabetic symptoms . From then on, insulin has been a diabetic treatment, which affects one in four Canadians . The use of the dogs in the experiment was because insulin is common to many animal species; the insulin is carried in the blood , which is why live animals were needed in this experiment. Right here at St Joes, animal experimentation is conducted in the classroom to advance scientific knowledge. In the grade 10 science, 11, and 12 biology courses, the anatomy of animals is studied. Animals used are mostly rodents, particularly mice and frogs. Although there are alternatives to the use of frogs and mice with virtual dissections, it doesn’t have the same impact on the student. The use of animals in dissection labs in the classroom provides students with a hands-on, concrete learning experience, which virtual labs cannot do. The use of animals in the classroom prepares students who are in pursuit of being a surgeon, the animals used in the classroom provides a good background in what to expect into a whole living body system with similar anatomy make-up as humans. ...
