You be the examiner!

Abstract

Abstract“You be the examiner!” is an online approach to providing students with immediate, readily accessible, and nonthreatening feedback on their understanding of key biochemical concepts. The feedback aims to affirm correct understanding and, where further study appears necessary, direct the student to the relevant sections of their textbook and/or lecturer‐provided study notes. Rather than providing model answers to previous examination questions, “You be the examiner” asks the students to evaluate typical “student” answers to such questions. Instead of a single “correct” answer, students encounter a range of answers that they must assess for accuracy and appropriateness.

Loss and Rebirth of the Animal Microtubule Organizing Center: How Maternal Expression of Centrosomal Proteins Cooperates with the Sperm Centriole in Zygotic Centrosome Reformation

“…During the same period it produces initially dormant mRNAs encoding PCM, centriolar and satellite proteins, to be able to hit the ground running after fertilization. Fast production of proteins during meiosis and after fertilization generally works via activation of maternal mRNAs stored in the egg, and does not require transcription of the nuclear genome . A key to elucidate assembly of zygotic centrioles may thus come from the analysis of protein expression patterns before and after fertilization.…”
