<p>In the AP Biology Barron’s book, there’s a table of gene and chromosome mutations/disorders, such as PKU, Huntington’s disease, etc etc. Do we have to know all these for the AP test?</p>
<p>Yeah, be familiar with them to the point that when they’re mentioned on the exam it rings a bell. Understand their symptoms and what controls they’re expression like if it’s sex linked or something.</p>
<p>As long as you know the basic gist of each, including the general cause and its symptoms/effects, you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>darn there’s so many >< alright thanks though!</p>
<p>A cursory glance over them is perfectly fine. If you need to, categorize the diseases into autosomal, sex-linked or chromosome/gene mutations and create a mnemonic for each one. The important thing is to focus on the bigger picture. What causes these changes? A question on a few specific diseases isn’t likely to pop up and even if it does, it’s only for 1 MC at most and maybe a small section of the FRQ.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, it’s all up to your time management, which reminds me… I have to study…</p>
