Introduction: * Genetics are composed of five main areas: DNA replication‚ meiosis‚ reproduction‚ adaptation and evolution. The body is composed of 46 chromosomes (23 from your mother and 23 of your father). The genes are in your cells in the nucleus and some in the mitochondria. The genes are a small part of a long molecule called DNA. DNA is a double stranded molecule (sugar‚ phosphate and four different bases: Adenine‚ Thymine‚ Cytosine and Guanine). The bases in the DNA are

AP Biology Summer Assignment Chapter 50.1: An Introduction to Ecology and the Biosphere Ecology is the scientific study of how organisms interact with the environment. When studying Ecology scientists want to know‚ where organisms live‚ why they live there‚ and how many are there. Ecology and environmental biology both stem from Darwin’s interest and observations upon the distribution of organisms and how they adapted to their specific environment. Darwin concluded that the environment interacting

Revelations of molecular structure become extremely crucial‚ as they provide insights into the way molecules work. My interest in the role of biomolecular structure in information processing and signal transduction pathways in the cell has developed during the last two years‚ while I have been a student of Molecular Biophysics sub-department

Biology has been the most interesting and appealing subject I have taken. Taking the course as a freshman‚ and the AP course as a junior‚ has really influenced my choice of a potential major. The course taught me how to be more studious and efficient with the information I retain. It is a puzzle‚ in which you piece together process by process‚ step by step. AP Biology also enhanced my collaboration skills. The course is very rigorous and challenging‚ and I struggled often trying to do it all by myself

AP biology FRQ Courtney DeMane 1.22.13 block 7 A). The chemical composition and structure of proteins seems quite confusing at first but one it is broken down into levels it is much more understandable. Amino acids are the basic building blocks of proteins and they contain amino‚ carboxyl and R groups. These R groups that are in the amino acids are what determine the properties of the specific amino acids. For structure‚ there are 4 levels. The first one being the primary level. These are made

Molecular Biology Lab Report Mapping DNA using Restriction Enzymes Ava II and Pvu II to cut Bacterial DNA Abstract The objective of this project is to map bacterial DNA‚ which is derived from E. coli‚ using restriction endonucleases with gel electrophoresis. The DNA fragments‚ after cutting has occurred‚ are separated using agarose gel electrophoresis. The DNA fragments are placed in the gel‚ and an electric current is run through the matrix of the gel-like agarose. Migration of the fragments
