Re: GRE Biology Subject Test
As you going to appear in GRE subject test in biology which is a standardized test in the United States created by the Educational Testing Service, and is designed to assess a applicants potential for graduate or post-graduate study in the field of biology: Study material for GRE subject test A. Cellular Structure and Function 16-17% 1. Biological compounds Macromolecular structure and bonding Abiotic origin of biological molecules 2. Enzyme activity, receptor binding, and regulation 3. Major metabolic pathways and regulation Respiration, fermentation, and photosynthesis Synthesis and degradation of macromolecules Hormonal control and intracellular messengers 4. Membrane dynamics and cell surfaces Transport, endocytosis, and exocytosis Electrical potentials and neurotransmitters Mechanisms of cell recognition, cell junctions, and plasmodesmata Cell wall and extracellular matrix 5. Organelles: structure, function, and targeting 6. Cytoskeleton, motility, and shape Actin-based systems Microtubule-based systems Intermediate filaments Bacterial flagella and movement 7. Cell cycle, growth, division, and regulation B. Genetics and Molecular Biology 16-17% 1. Genetic foundations Mendelian inheritance; Pedigree analysis Prokaryotic genetics (transformation, transduction, and conjugation) Genetic mapping 2. Chromatin and chromosomes Nucleosomes Karyotypes Chromosomal aberrations Polytene chromosomes 3. Genome sequence organization Introns and exons; Single-copy and repetitive DNA Transposable elements 4. Genome maintenance DNA replication; DNA mutation and repair 5. Gene expression and regulation in prokaryotes and eukaryotes: mechanisms The operon; Promoters and enhancers; Transcription factors; RNA and protein synthesis; Processing and modifications of both RNA and protein 6. Gene expression and regulation: effects Control of normal development; Cancer and oncogenes Signaling mechanisms in cells 7. Immunobiology Cellular basis of immunity; Antibody diversity and synthesis Antigen-antibody interactions 8.
