Chapter 14 Helpful Hints!

Okey dokey here we go!

This video was great! It explains point mutations, insertions, and deletions in a clear and informative manner. It also seems like it would help before a Dr. Weber exam because it explains the effects of mutations on organisms as well, and we all know how DWebs likes to ask questions like that.. The video explains the difference between mutations that occur during mitosis along with meiosis.  I also really liked this video because along with explaining the mutations, it showed videos of how the mutations occur and also how the body tries to fix the mutations. Enjoy!

Ok so this is a pretty cool video. Rather than explaining the cell cycle which we have honestly studied to death and then some... this video focuses on and explains the Cell Cycle Checkpoints. For example, in class we learned about cyclin and CDK, but the video goes into more detail about how those molecules work. It also talks about p53 and it's functions like stimulating the production of proteins that bind and inactivate CDK molecules, activating enzymes required to repair DNA, and apoptosis. Again, I like this video because it goes into what happens when some of these molecules lose their functions because we all know how a certain Bio teacher enjoys putting questions like these on the exams... Well, enjoy!
