Introduction to Evolutionary Biology

It unites all the fields of biology under one theoretical umbrella. It is not a difficult concept, but very few people -- the majority of biologists included -- have a satisfactory grasp of it. One common mistake is believing that species can be arranged on an evolutionary ladder from bacteria through "lower" animals, to "higher" animals and, finally, up to man.

Mistakes permeate popular science expositions of evolutionary biology. Misunderstandings about evolution are damaging to the study of evolution and biology as a whole. This is a brief introduction to evolutionary biology. What is Evolution? Evolution is a change in the gene pool of a population over time. Potassium and Sodium: The Dynamic Duo - MSN Health - Osteoporosis.

Potassium and sodium. In the pantheon of classic partners, they aren't quite up there with Abbott and Costello, Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire, and John, George, Paul, and Ringo. They should be. Potassium and sodium together play a huge role in regulating blood pressure, and mounting evidence shows they are intimately involved in bone health. Research and dietary recommendations tend to focus on one or the other, usually sodium. That's a mistake, since these two elements go hand in hand. Dynamic duo Potassium and sodium are essential for life. Thousands of years ago, when humans roamed the earth gathering and hunting, potassium was abundant, while sodium was scarce.

Fill out each of the blanks with an amino acid from the codon chart - they cannot use the same amino acid twice. There are 21 total amino acids and only 16 squares, so there will be a few not used at all. DNA from the Beginning - An animated primer of 75 experiments that made modern genetics. DNA from the Beginning is organized around key concepts.

The science behind each concept is explained by: animation, image gallery, video interviews, problem, biographies, and links. DNAftb blog: It's the season of hibernation, something I've always wished I could do. Oh, to wrap up in a ball, sleep away the winter, and wake to a beautiful spring day – like Bambi! Although the thought has always intrigued me, it never really occurred to me what a feat hibernation actually is. Feature: Greatest Genetics Discoveries 3/3. Greatest Biology Discoveries.

Biology 10 - Reproduction and Development

There are many different ways to accomplish the task, but ultimately new individuals will develop and enter the world. In this section you will get a brief introduction to the different types of reproduction among animals. We will focus on the the reproductive anatomy of humans and our own development during the nine months in the womb. The following questions will help you to review the material from the lecture, the laboratory, as well as the text.

Perhaps no other natural phenomenon has aroused so much interest;certainly none has sowed so much confusion. "- Graham Bell, 1982 Introduction The basic principles of Mendelian Genetics and almost all those of population genetics are based upon the assumption that an individual's genotype is formed by genetic information drawn from two different sources, with each source making an approximately equal contribution. The Biology Project: Human Biology. Web Karyotyping (en Español) Play the role of a cytogenetic technician and complete three patient karyotypes, then evaluate and diagnose each patient.

For classroom use, teachers can download a printable Student Worksheet (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader). New Methods in Karyotyping Learn about this exciting new technique for diagnosing chromosomal abnormalities. The Blackett Family DNA Activity Use this family study to learn the concepts and techniques behind DNA profiling , interpret DNA autoradiograms, and evaluate DNA profiles to determine familial relationships The Blackett Family DNA Activity 2 Use real Short Tandem Repeat (STR) DNA profiles to solve paternity and missing person cases in this inquiry-based activity. Genetics Blood Types (en Español) Learn about the inheritance of blood types and Rh factors while attempting to answer real questions received from people who had concerns about the blood types of their parents or about the father of their child or grandchild.
