hello the study design is like
- The structure of genes in eukaryotic cells including stop and start instructions, promoter regions, exons and introns 

I am not sure exactly (specifically what) to study for this following study design dotpoint. Can anyone please give me any advice for this?

You basically need to know the parts of an eukaryotic gene. e.g. introns are non-coding segments of DNA which are spliced out during post-transcriptional changes, exons are coding regions, promoter region is where RNA polymerase binds to etc

If you study DNA replication and transcription that should familiarise you with this terminology :)

DNA replication isn’t in 3/4 anymore, it’s just transcription

Sorry for not making it clearer, I meant that if you want to study those terms as more than just memorisation, and instead link it to a process/functionality, studyong DNA replication is one way of doing that. 

Hope this makes sense
