Study Guide 4 CH. 21 Genomics – the study of whole sets of genes and their interactions. Bioinformatics – is the application of computational methods to the storage and analysis of biological data Linkage Map – maps the location of several thousand genetic markers on each chromosome Physical Map – Expresses the distance between genetic markers‚ usually as the number of base pairs along the DNA Metagenomics – DNA from a group of species (a metagenome) is collected from an environmental

Bacterial Fermentation Secondary article Article Contents Volker Mu¨ller‚ Ludwig-Maximilians-Universita¨t Mu¨nchen‚ Munich‚ Germany . Introduction Under anaerobic conditions‚ in the dark and in the absence of electron acceptors‚ organic compounds are catabolized by strictly anaerobic or facultatively anaerobic bacteria by internally balanced oxidation–reduction reactions‚ a process called fermentation. In fermentation‚ the organic compound serves as both electron donor and acceptor‚ and adenosine

fixation: After a smear has dried at room temperature‚ the slide is gripped by tongs or a clothespin and passed through the flame of a Bunsen burner several times to heat-kill and adhere the organism to the slide. Routinely used with bacteria and archaea. Heat fixation generally preserves overall morphology but not internal structures. Heat denatures the proteolytic enzyme and prevent autolysis. Heat fixation cannot be used in the capsular stain method as heat fixation will shrink or destroy the capsule

Biology Exam 2013 - Review UNIT: PATERNS OF INHERITENCE Describe Mendel’s experiments: * Chose a female parent; chooses a male parent; pollen is collected from the stamens and dusted onto the female parent stigma; pollen fertilizes the eggs. The ovary develops into the pod and eggs develop into the peas; when peas are planted they develop into pea plants. Why Pea Plants? * Easily obtained * Grown quickly; several generation of peas can be observed * Traits are easily visible

Biodiversity is the degree of variation of life forms within a given ecosystem‚ biome‚ or an entire planet. Biodiversity is one measure of the health of ecosystems. Life on Earth today consists of many millions of distinct biological species. The United Nations declared the year 2010 as the International Year of Biodiversity. Biodiversity is not consistent across the Earth. In the terrestrial context for example‚ tropical regions are typically rich whereas polar regions support fewer species. Rapid
