I understand that: the grading system, attendance expectations, and make-up policies for this class; this is a college level class covering an extensive amount of information; missed lab sections and quizzes cannot be made up; a grade of “0” will be given for missed quizzes and labs, and that my two lowest quizzes will be dropped; I have reviewed, understand, and have agreed to comply with the policies, procedures, and instructions set forth in this syllabus and by this instructor; and that the syllabus can be found on Canvas throughout the semester.   ACADEMIC INTEGRITY PLEDGE “I pledge on my honor that I will neither give nor receive any unauthorized assistance on any assignment or examination for this course. I will do my best to study, learn, and maintain college level effort for the class.” Signature: [typefullname]   (type your full name)                                                                                  Date: [MMDDYEAR] (MM/DD/YEAR)

The three types of vaccines are [att] pathogens which contain infectious agents that can still replicate but not cause disease, [inact] preparations that contain the pathogen, but it has been killed, and [comp] vaccines that only contain parts of the pathogen that are important in raising an immune response.

During the maturation of B-cells, a series of variable gene splicing events result in each B-cell being capable of synthesizing an antibody with a unique variable region. The entire population of B-cell is therefore capable of responding to any antigen of almost any shape. How does the immune system ensure that B-cells that have antibodies that react with host proteins do not cause the immune system to attack the body?

All of these proposed changes are mutations. In most cases, what do you think happens to the protein when you make changes to it?

If the bolded bases (AAA) were deleted, predict what would happen to the protein sequence and determine if the protein would still be active. One sentence only.

If you had to choose one macromolecule to describe the essence of a living thing, which one would you choose?

Sometimes in cells, whole genes will get duplicated, giving cells two copies of a gene. If a mutation happens in one of the duplicated genes, are there any consequences for the cell?

Take this sequence and find the start site, the stop site for translation. Then write down the first 20 amino acids. (To do this scan down the DNA until you find the first ATG, then section the sequence into triplets until you find a stop codon). To translate this gene into a protein, use the above codon table. Use the 1 letter code for your answer now spaces. For example MALLS. A correct answer will have 20 uppercase letters in it

If you changed the red C in the sequence from an C to a T predict what would happen to the protein sequence and determine if the protein would still be active.

If the bolded bases (AAA) were deleted, predict what would happen to the protein sequence and determine if the protein would still be active. One sentence only.
