Answers ALL rehearsal questions (GEN + MOB + BIC) BIC20306 This document contains answers to all rehearsal questions provided on the BlackBoard site of the course BIC20306. Since no answer model was uploaded by the teachers, I decided to upload my own answer model. All rights of the questions go to their rightful owners (the BIC20306 teachers), and no profit is made from this document (that\'s why it\'s for free). It can\'t be guaranteed that every single answer is 100% correct, as the questions weren\'t discussed during the course. However, to remain trustworthy, the answers have been based as much as possible on the prescribed course literature and the lectures.

Answer model reflection sessions BIC20306 This document is an answer model I made for the questions that are posed during the three reflection sessions of the course BIC20306. I uploaded this document, since no answer model is provided on BlackBoard. The answers are checked for correctness by personally attending the reflection sessions (so I can assure you that all answers are correct). It should be noted that only the answers are my intellectual property, the questions were provided by the teachers of the course BIC20306 that is taught at WUR. That's why no profit is made of this document.

DNA Replication and DNA Repair Part 2 Part 2 of DNA Replication and repair, specifically looking at how chromosomes are replicated using accessory proteins and summarising all the proteins forming the machine in DNA replication. Analysing each of these proteins in detail: DNA topoisomerases, telomerase and so on. Briefly looking at the differences between eukaryotes and bacteria in terms of end-replication of chromosomes. Analysing in detail the process of DNA repair, it's importance and the spontaneous changes that can give rise to DNA mutations/damage. Looking at different pathways by which DNA damage can be removed via base excision repair and nucleotide excision repair, non-homologous end-joining and homologous recombination. Overview and brief summary included at the end. These notes are useful in any module covering DNA replication and DNA repair. [Achieved 1st class in 1st year with these notes.]

BIC-20306 - Answers to lab exercises from course guide This file contains my answers to the lab exercises from the course guide of the course BIC-20306 Cell Physiology and Genetics. During the course there was no opportunity to check them, but I was able to obtain a nice grade based on studying this file. Hopefully it can also help you to study for the course.
