Why we are including this example

Positioning the Guided Learning Questions above the readings and videos help the learner focus on the reason these were included and what they are supposed to get out of the material.

We combined the read/watch pages to influence the order and method of consuming the materials. The faculty wanted the students to read then watch related things rather than do all the reading and then watch all of the videos.

Introduction

Genomics starts with the basic building blocks of life: DNA. Understanding DNA structure and function, protein synthesis, and the cell cycle provides a foundation for the genetic disorders we will be exploring this semester. 

Guided Learning Questions

Use the questions below to guide your study:

  • Why is it important to understand the structure and function of DNA, chromosomes, and genes?
  • What analogy is helpful in DNA structure and function?
  • What do abnormalities in protein synthesis result in?
  • Why is genetic regulation important for development?
  • What are the basic concepts of CRISPR technology?
