Hi all, I have one question..

How detail should I study for these parts in OC and BIO?


In OC,

sugars, amino acids and different techniques used. I hate studying these.. Which important concepts should I know?


In Bio..

Also, different techniques used in recombination or genetic related...etc



Any advices would be helpful!!

Thanks! Good luck!😀

for amino acids some important things to know:
- for bio, the only time youll talk about amino acids is when youre discussing anything with proteins. know the difference in structures
-primary - sequence of amino acids
-secondary - interactions between side chains to form alpha helixes and beta pleated sheets
-tertiary - overall 3-d structure
-quaternary - interactions between one or more polypeptide

also, glycine is a very important amino acid. it is the only optically inactive a.a. (because there is no chiral center being that it has 2 H'S attached to its central carbon)

sugars and carbohydrates
- know what classifies a sugar as a reducing sugar or nonreducing sugar
- how and why mutarotation occurs
- anomeric effect
- monosaccharides, disaccharides (what they're composed of)

genetics questions:
- meiosis vs mitosis, distinguishable features
- evolutionary mechanisms - natural selection, genetic drift, etc.
- maybe a few crosses; X-linked, difference between autosomal recessive/dominant genetic disorders, and a few exampls of each, i.e. colorblindness, cystic fibrosis, huntington's disease
