<p>Wow REALLY??? The (final+midterm 3) is worth 300 POINTS if that’s what you mean because 300 questions seems like a lot. I hope its not that long, all I know is that it will be ~25 pages long. Gahhh I’m still reviewing Malkin’s section! No sleep for me =(</p>
<p>yea 300 pts… but how many questions will there be…? anyone know?
will it be a time crunch?</p>
<p>no way there will be 300 questions lol each midterm was ~50
i’m guessing ~84 fisher, ~33 forte, ~33 malkin = 150?</p>
<p>@mechrocket - sounds right</p>
<p>yeah there’ll probably be about 120-150 questions, each worth 2-3 points. 300 questions would be pretty fun though. 100 questions an hour, 1 question a minute. hahaha you’d use like 1.5 scantrons</p>
<p>OMMMGG phew… i was freakin worried… i was like… holy crap…
and batman it’s not 1 question per minute. more like 1.7 problems a minute. :(</p>
<p>so you think there might be a time crunch? 150 question doesn’t seem that bad. 180 minutes.</p>
<p>ever take bio 1b? it’ll probably be like that. not too much of a time crunch. well depends… is the test gonna be divided into sections? if it is all jumbled up, then i’d be worried about a time crunch because during the lab practical, i got messed up with the labs not being in order …145 was not enough to rack my memory</p>
<p>Does anybody know whether the last biotechnology portion will be tested on the final? It seems like on the practice exams, there were no questions about the techniques that he went over (PCR, in-situ hybridization, etc. etc.).</p>
<p>remember he said that he added a lot of new stuff? i’m guessing it definitely will be on the final if he spent 2-3 lectures talking about it.</p>
<p>also, do you guys remembering that monoclonal/polyclonal question on Forte’s midterm? did he ever even talk about what those mean? it seems he tested on **** that he didn’t cover in class…</p>
<p>It was in the book… a brief brief reference but it was on there. So I guess it’s fair game.</p>
<p>so lemme just clarify something about dna replication…dna polymerase 1 works only for okazaki fragments yes? and then dp1 hydrolyzes the okazaki until it can’t connect. so the piece of okazaki fragment that is 5’ is a monophosphate DNA right? (as in 2’ has only a H) I was getting confused because on the board, he was drawing the cleavage, but that’s just for the first RNA piece with the triphosphate yes? damn this lateness is getting to me…</p>
<p>Hey how much are you guys studying for the Physiology and Cell Biology sections?</p>
<p>@batman: can you rephrase that question? DNAPI is an exonuclease so it hydrolyzes that triphosphate nucleotide off and then replaces that DNA monomers. does that answer your question?</p>
<p>@calbear: i’m just studying everything in equal amounts lol</p>
<p>Holler at everybody else with 2 finals on Monday -___-'</p>
<p>holler at anyone who’s going to fail his other exams because he’s putting all his time into bio1a</p>
<p>im so screwed. i have 2 finals on monday. back to back.</p>
<p>so DNAP1 degrades the RNA strand while elongating the 3’ end yes? So my question was that after all the RNA is degraded, is the 5’ beginning just a monophosphate DNA? (Hence why ligase is needed)
I think the answer is yes. lol The reason I’m asking is that on the board when he drew hydrolysis, the monophosphate still had an OH at the 2 carbon, so I’m assuming he means that was just how the very first RNA molecule with the triphosphate was cut.</p>
<p>And I’m so ****ed for Forte’s section. Damn old man knows how to punch me in the balls.</p>
<p>i have 3 exams monday back to back</p>
<p>and thats tomorrow. ****ing awesome.</p>
<p>Dang that’s intense…
Good luck with all your exams!</p>
<p>there’s gotta be a good hour between each of your finals though right? it’s usually 8-11. 12-3/1230-330, 5-8…</p>
