7.03 Genetics

 

 

7.03 ARCHIVES

The 7.03 Archives are made up of documents in a couple of formats.

The "Prior to 2004" set of documents is a collection of exams and problem sets organized by class topic. Please see instruction numbers 1 and 2 below for further information.

The other documents (topics) are from Fall 2004, Fall 2005, and Fall 2006, and are made up of the exams and/or problem sets as given in those terms.


Exams and Psets prior to 2004

1. A collection of old exam problems. In this section, there is a collection of approximately 100 old exam problems from 7.03. If you want to practice taking an exam, then (for Exams One, Two, or Three) you should do any three questions (#1-3, or #4-6, or #7-9, for example) in 50 minutes. (Unit exams in this course have 3 or 4 questions, depending on the length of the questions.) For the final exam, you should do any seven questions (#1-7, or #8-14, or #15-21 for example) in 180 minutes. (Final exams in this course have 7 or 8 questions, depending on the length of the questions.) The answers are provided to you in a separate document, and include answers only (no explanations).

2. A collection of old problem set problems. In this section, there is a collection of approximately 100 old problem set problems from 7.03. These problems are grouped by topic. Thus, for instance, if you wish to practice problems about complementation tests, then there is a section containing 4 problems about complementation in the Exam One problem sets section. The answers are provided to you in a separate document, and include answers only (no explanations).

NOTE: Please report any typos or errors in the archive to your TA or instructor.

  Course Description

 

The principles of genetics with application to the study of biological function at the level of molecules, cells, and multicellular organisms, including humans.

  • Structure and function of genes, chromosomes and genomes.
  • Biological variation resulting from recombination, mutation, and selection.
  • Population genetics.
  • Use of genetic methods to analyze protein function, gene regulation and inherited disease.
