Term:
............................ is basically DNA replication in a test tube – Conceived by Kary Mullis (Nobel Prize- Chemistry, 1993) – Also called DNA amplification –generates large amounts of specific DNA fragment (~106-109 fold enrichment)
Definition:
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
Term:
.............: Macromolecular complexes composed of RNA and protein and the site of protein synthesis in all organisms. ..............................: Region in the cell where DNA is found. In prokaryotes there is no membrane surrounding this region. The DNA in prokaryotes consists of a single circular chromosome.
Definition:

Not too easy. Not too difficult.
Course Overview:
The course was a good course overall and I felt that I learned a lot during the lab portion and it was a fun experience. The lecture may have been a bit boring, but the lab was extremely helpful and performing all the experiments day by day helped a ton when it came to the final practical.
Course highlights:
The highlights of this course were meeting the people I worked with in lab, as well as learning different aspects of characterizing and identifying different microorganisms. It was a fun lab and the course helped me learn and master aseptic techniques, which I will continue to use not only in other classes, but in life situations as well.
Hours per week:
3-5 hours
Advice for students:
I would advise students to take this course as either the only science course in the semester or take it in the summer alone without any other classes because it requires a lot of time for the lab writeups and it is definitely not easy. This class will require some extra effort and time outside of class in order to earn an A.
Not too easy. Not too difficult.
Course Overview:
I would recommend this teacher because he is probably the easiest one. This class suits people who like to read the chapter to reinforce the powerpoint information. The lab, on the other hand, is pretty challenging especially the final but you can't do anything about that.
Course highlights:
The highlights of this course is that the tests are test bank, however, they are pulled from several different places so you do need to know your information.
Hours per week:
3-5 hours
Advice for students:
Read the textbook and study the powerpoints and that will get you an A. The professor just reads off of the powerpoints so you kind of have to teach yourself, but it isn't too difficult.
This class was tough.
Course Overview:
I would recommend it because this professor is helpful if you need the extra guidance. All the lectures are recorded to help you if you missed something.
Course highlights:
The lab bacteria unknown experiment was super fun! I learned what properties my. Bacteria had.
Hours per week:
3-5 hours
Advice for students:
Study /take notes everyday and use the book to help you out.
