Student and Tutor thoroughly reviewed the processes of mitosis and meiosis, including their stages, purposes, and key differences in chromosome and chromatid counts. The session also involved the Student drawing diagrams to solidify understanding and receiving clarification on the numerical changes throughout meiotic divisions. The Tutor shared a link and a PPT for further review.

The Tutor introduced fundamental concepts in cell biology, including basic genetic terminology and the essential functions of cell division. They provided a detailed explanation of mitosis, guiding the Student through its stages with visual aids and a mnemonic, and then gave an initial overview of meiosis. The Student is assigned to review the provided notes and video on meiosis to prepare for further discussion in the next session.

Student and Tutor thoroughly reviewed protein synthesis, covering the detailed processes of transcription and translation, including enzymes, locations, and molecular components. They also discussed the structural elements of DNA and began an introduction to cell division, focusing on the stages of mitosis and the distinctions between mitosis and meiosis. The plan for the next session includes a detailed discussion on meiosis.

The Student and Tutor reviewed polypeptide synthesis, encompassing the central dogma of DNA to mRNA (transcription) and mRNA to protein (translation). They discussed the locations, purposes, and three key stages (initiation, elongation, termination) of both transcription and translation, along with the involved enzymes and molecules. For follow-up, the Student will share a practice question for the Tutor to review, with the possibility of the Tutor providing additional practice material.

The Student and Tutor engaged in a comprehensive discussion on the fundamentals of biology, specifically focusing on genetics and the structure of DNA. They covered concepts such as heredity, genes, chromosomes, alleles, genotypes, and phenotypes, culminating in a detailed breakdown of DNA's molecular composition and bonding. The session included reviewing a related practice question, and the Tutor mentioned an upcoming two-week unavailability, planning to confirm the next session date via message.

Student and Tutor reviewed key concepts of heredity, including genes, DNA, and chromosomes, with a clarification on their presence and location in prokaryotic versus eukaryotic cells. The session then introduced DNA as a biomolecule and delved into its detailed structure, covering nucleotides, their components, and how they form a double helix through phosphodiester and hydrogen bonds. They practiced a problem applying the DNA base-pairing rules, and a worksheet on the topic was assigned for follow-up.
