From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I am currently in my third year at the University of Western Ontario enrolled in the course ''Advanced Genetics''. I am still not completely sure of how wikipedia works, but I am sure I will figure it out soon.
Can't wait to start editing!
| This user is a student editor in Wikipedia:Wiki_Ed/Western_University/Bio3595A_Advanced_Genetics_003_(Fall_2015). Student assignments should always be carried out using a course page set up by the instructor. It is usually best to develop assignments in your sandbox. After evaluation, the additions may go on to become a Wikipedia article or be published in an existing article. |
Training for Students complete!
Articles I am thinking about editing
Option One: Symbiogenesis
- Make the history section more clear in terms of chronology (who did what first).
- Expand on the idea that genes are lost/transferred by adding information about where they go, why they might stay and what the remaining genes encode.
- Add information about tertiary and serial secondary endosymbiosis to fully describe the diversity of eukaryotes.
- What are the roadblocks of gene transfer (the process which leads to an endosymbiont becoming an organelle)?
- Evolutionary implications?
Option Two: Homeosis
- More specific information on homeotic mutants in both animals and plants.
- Types of mutations that cause homeotic mutant phenotypes (indels, SNP, CNV etc.)
- "Homeosis is a characteristic that has helped insects become as successful and diverse as they are.[3]" --> how?
