Human Genetics, 10th Edition, (Lewis)Chapter 11:
Gene Expression and EpigeneticsLearning Outcomes
11.1 | | Gene Expression Through Time and Tissue 1. | | Define epigenetics. | 2. | | Explain how globin chain switching,
development of organs, and the types
of proteins cells make over time illustrate
gene expression. |
| 11.2 | | Control of Gene Expression 3. | | Explain how the interaction of methyl
groups with histone proteins controls
gene expression. | 4. | | Explain how microRNAs control transcription. |
| 11.3 | | Maximizing Genetic Information 5. | | Explain how division of genes into exons
and introns maximizes the number of
encoded proteins. |
| 11.4 | | Most of the Human Genome Does Not
Encode Protein 6. | | Discuss how viral DNA, noncoding RNAs,
and repeated sequences account for large
proportions of the human genome. |
