Topic 1. Sexual Reproduction in Unicellular Eukaryotes. Watch the instructor's video about "Sexual Reproduction in Unicellular Eukaryotes" (1)* which can be found in the Instructor Insights section for this week. For a single-celled species to be capable of sexual reproduction, the species must have both haploid and diploid forms
· (a) Describe four things that you learned from the video.
· (b) Explain how this relates to this week’s lesson.
Topic 2. Apoptosis. Watch the Khan Academy video about apoptosis (2)*, then address the following issues in your own words:
· (a) What is the difference between apoptosis and necrosis?
· (b) What is the role of apoptosis in the normal, healthy development of animals?
· Reminder: you don't need to cite the Khan Academy video for this topic, but if you use any other sources, you must cite them.
Topic 3. Tumor-suppressor genes versus Proto-oncogenes. This is a library-research topic in which you are required to provide your sources. Mutations in tumor suppressor genes can contribute to or cause cancer, just as mutations in proto-oncogenes can also contribute to or cause cancer. However, tumor suppressor genes are very different from proto-oncogenes.
· (a) What is the basic difference between a tumor suppressor gene and a proto-oncogene?
· (b) Explain why a gain-of-function mutation to a proto-oncogene (or its promoter) may be associated with increased risk of cancer.
· (c) Explain why a loss-of-function mutation to a tumor suppressor gene may be associated with increased risk of cancer.
