Using Saccharomyces cerevisiae to test the mutagenicity of household compounds: an open ended hypothesis-driven teaching lab.
In our Fundamentals of Genetics lab, students perform a wide variety of labs to reinforce and extend the topics covered in lecture. I developed an active-learning lab to augment the lecture topic of mutagenesis. In this lab exercise, students determine if a compound they bring from home is a mutagen. Students are required to read extensive background material, perform research to find a potenti...
متن کاملAn Open-Ended Question on the PRIMES Entrance Test
I am the head mentor of PRIMES. From time to time one of our mentors tells me that their project is stuck. I then meet with the mentor and their student to brainstorm possible alternative directions. When students suggest their own direction they are more passionate about it and the project gets unstuck. Sometimes a new direction points away from the original question. But after resolving the n...

متن کاملPloidy evolution in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae: a test of the nutrient limitation hypothesis.
The nutrient limitation hypothesis provides a nongenetic explanation for the evolution of life cycles that retain both haploid and diploid phases: differences in nutrient requirements and uptake allow haploids to override the potential genetic advantages provided by diploidy under certain nutrient limiting conditions. The relative fitness of an isogenic series of haploid, diploid and tetraploid...
