“Exploring Key Topics in Molecular Biology: Antibiotics, Mutations, Signaling Pathways, and More”

Given there is so much information covered in this course, I like to provide you with some topics on which to especially focus.
Antibiotic mechanisms of action
Different types of bacterial mutations
Transcriptional regulation in phage and bacteria
Eukaryotic signaling pathways
Reporter genes in molecular biology (GFP/LacZ etc)
RNAi
CRISPR
Hox genes and species homology
Sporulation process in bacteria
Transcriptomes
10 short answer questions, and you will have 2.5 hours.  I don’t want to see you citing your answers, and I surely do not want to google an answer to find it came word for word (or even close to word for word) from a website or the book. The use of AI platforms to answer questions is also becoming a big issue. Please stay away from using this technology.
