Reflection

1. What is the biggest discovery that I made from these readings?
   • -
2. What part of the readings did I understand the least?
   • - In regards to readings Ch.1 Genome 2 and Ch.2 Genome 2, most of the studies on the human genome I have previously studied in Genetics; such as, transcription, reverse transcription, Watson and Crick's experiments, etc. What I understood the least were pseudogenes. I have learned that mutations would have an effect on gene expression, whether it be minor or major, but my question is if a gene is no longer useful, would it be considered a pseudogene and degrade or be inactive, or is it expressed and cause similar effects as those born with extra/fewer chromosomes?
