Second Year Exam Revision Medical Genetics Liliane Eleid 3rdYear Medical Genetics
SBS009- Human Molecular biology MCQs -> some are posted online by Hurd and from past exam papers Short Answer Questions Diagrams-> know well especially replication fork and secretory pathway Essay Common mistakes are use of transcription instead of translation and getting confused with machinery Try to use outside reading Make sure its well structured Make sure youre not vague
SBS633- Evolutionary Genetics MCQs Short answer questions Questions about design of experiments from field trip No diagrams Definitions Essays About the snails-> learn all about the snails Polymorphism Like extra reading Don t be vague-> expand Use diagrams
SBS118-Cell biology and Developmental biology MCQs -> very easy based on past papers Short answer questions Very easy Definitions And naming 3 things e.g. 3 RTKs Functions of specific genes Essays: RTKs Signalling pathways Neuronal development
SBC222- Comparative and Integrative physiology MCQs -> help to practice past paers Short answer questions: For Elphick read his papers and around the subject Diagrams Essays : neuropeptides Split in two equally for each lecturer Gas transport and circulatory systems Use diagrams
Basic immunology MCQs-> easy SAQs Diagrams -> love them -> there is a really gd book for those -> Kuby s The diagram of cell lineages Essay: - Structure - Don t leave anything out - Be clear - The process with infection, inflammation .
BIO227-Medical Genetics MCQs: From outside reading-> will surprise u Past papers SAQs: Really easy Like fill in the blank Do past papers Essays: Make sure ur answering the question and ur not vague Try to include outside reading There are usually hints to what will come up
Research methods and communications MCQs-R based and R errors SAQs : Write up the results and abstract similar to writeup Conditional probability -> don t just memorize example Know how to design an experiment No essay Know ur tests and when they should be done
Transmission genetics MCQs Curran puts them online and uses the same ones Really easy SAQs; Really easy for both Split into two sections based on lecturer Hurd loves epigenetics and holliday junctions-> m/b draw Diagrams of transcription machinery Essays : Plan well -> helps with structure Paradigms for curran and transcription/translation for Hurd Don t make silly mistakes Diagrams
80% of the exam will be based on the one lecture u missed and the one book you didn t read ! Just kidding ! It s all in there ! Questions? Good luck with your exams!
