INDEX TO THE MARY LOU QUIZZES
(For an explanation see the Introduction.)

1. The Discovery that the Chloroplast is the Seat of Photosynthesis. (This is a good beginning quiz in most biology classes because it acclimates the students to the unusual format.)
    
2. Hallowe'en - Pathogenic strategies plus many other activities as listed
    
   1. "How the Pumpkin Is Sliced."
      (making cell lysates, permeablizing cells, using polyacrylamide electrophoresis)
   2. "Hallowe'en Two"
      (PCR and autoradiography)
   3. "The Boardwalk Caper"
      (competitive inhibition and more autoradiography)
   4. "The Hallowe'en Party"
      (antiviral inhibitors).
   5. "Paris!"
      (using antibiotic resistance genetic tags, mutations and detections in bacteria, lambda transduction, Tn10 transposon use)
       
3. "The Engagement" - a series of miscellaneous major phenomena.
    
   1. "Engagement Pary"
      (probiotics and non-specific immunity)
   2. "Sis!"
      (autoradiography, radioisotope tagging of DNA specifically)
   3. "A Real Cliff-Hanger"
      (starch electrophoresis, immunoelectrophoresis)
   4. "Lost Honeymoon"
      (sewage treatment and its elimination of viruses)
       
4. "The Saguaro Measles Virus" - the characterization of a plant virus.
    
   1. "The Case of the Saguaro Measles - 1"
      (temperature sensitivity)
   2. "The Case of the Saguaro Measles - 2"
      (using enzymes to detect RNA and DNA)
   3. "The Case of the Saguaro Measles - 3"
      (dsRNA detection)
   4. "Memories of a Hilarious Trip: 'Miss America'"
      (Koch's Postulates)
   5. "The Case of the Saguaro Measles - 4"
      (Using model systems: easier, safer, less environmental impact, cell culture models, using antibiotics to explore metabolic pathways, radioisotope tagging, the hyperchromic effect on nucleic acids)
   6. "At Taos"
      (ssDNA-RNA hybridization; repressor detection)
   7. "Finally! A Visit to Saguaro Country"
      (temperature sensitivity, cell cultures, hybrid plants and viruses, heat inactivation of repressor)
   
    
5. A Miscellaneous variety containing non-connecting story-lines of Mary Lou and her gang.
    
   1. "Following Hot Atoms"
      (Hershey-Chase expt.; radioisotope tracing.)
