“try to understand what it is to be human” Biocultural approach: the relationship between what humans have inherited genetically and what they learn culturally Holistic: understanding people with all aspects of human nature Comparative: cross cultural Ethnocentric: a view that is centered on a specific ethnic group (usually ones own) belief in the superiority in ones ethnic group Cultural Relativism: a view that considers human interaction and behavior within their own culture.

Chapter 10 and 11– Homework 1. Describe the stages of transcription. Initiation- Initiator tRNA binds to small ribosomal subunit. Small subunit/tRNA complex attaches to mRNA and moves along it to an AUG “start” codon. Large ribosomal subunit joins complex. Initiation must occur in the order listed above. Elongation- mRNA passes through ribosomal subunits. tRNAs deliver amino acids to the ribosomal binding site in the order specified by the mRNA. Peptide bonds form between the amino acids and

which are inherited as products of two alleles (types of gene that occupy the same site on a chromosome)‚ many different alleles can be inherited at each of the HLA loci. These are defined by antibodies (antisera) that recognize specific HLA antigens‚ or by DNA probes that recognize the HLA allele. Using specific antibodies‚ 26 HLA-A alleles‚ 59 HLA-B alleles‚ 10 HLA-C alleles‚ 26 HLA-D alleles‚ 22 HLA-DR alleles‚ nine HLA-DQ alleles‚ and six HLA-DP alleles can be recognized. This high degree of

each allele for each gene is carried on a single gamete so that the alleles for each gene have been segregated from one another. It is during fertilisation when the two gametes fuse that the pairing of the alleles occurs. The second law of independent assortment suggests that the genes for different characteristics are separated independently during the production of gametes. The third law of dominance says that alleles can be dominant or recessive. However‚ it is only the dominant alleles that will

Evolution Unit: Objectives AP Biology Upon the completion of the textbook readings in Chapters 22-26 you should be able to: Chapter 22 1. Explain how the principle of gradualism and Charles Lyell’s theory of uniformitarianism influenced Darwin’s ideas about evolution. The basic idea of natural selection is that a population of organisms can change over the generations if individuals having certain heritable traits leave more offspring than other individuals. The result of natural selection

B1 Genes are found in our chromosomes and parents pass these on to offspring in their sex cells. Different versions of the same gene are called alleles‚ and these can determine features such as eye colour‚ and the inheritance of disorders such as cystic fibrosis.

The instructions for how an organism develops are found in the nuclei of its cells Chromosomes Chromosomes are structures found

higher the genetic diversity the more alleles are presented to a group according to Eldon Enger (2007). These alleles have a profound effect on many aspects of organic development. Genetic diversity effects mutations‚ sexual reproduction‚ migration‚ and even population size. Mutations cause new occurrences to happen in a population. Enger states that these occurrences can be a result of modifications to alleles that are already present or can be new alleles that the mutation introduces (2007). Either

Pathogenic Micro MLST assignment 1. MLST uses the sequence information within a set of housekeeping genes to determine the type of the organism. For each gene the dissimilar sequences are noted to be different alleles. MLSA is very similar to MLST but uses linked sequences to derive a phylogenetic relationship. MLSA is generally used to progress species descriptions whereas MLST is used with species that are already distinct. In this lab we are performing MLST. 2. The 16s rRNA gene is highly conserved
