BIOL 1201 : Bio Notes For Test 1
Document Summary
Organization: evolutionary adaptation, response to the environment. Reproduction: development, theme: new properties emerge at each level in the biological. Molecules: emergent properties due to the arrangement of parts as complexity increases, the power and limitations of reductionism- reductionism is breaking things down into smaller portions. Good because it allows biologists to study each individual role of a certain organism. Build proteins -> gene expression: geonomics: large- scale analysis of dna sequences: Genome- library of genetic instructions that an organism inherits. Genomics- studying whole sets of genes as well as species comparisons (systematic biology: theme: feedback mechanisms regulate biological systems, negative feedback- accumulation of and end product slows the process, positive feedback- end product speeds up production. 1. 2 the core theme: evolution accounts for the unity and diversity of life: classifying the diversity of life, grouping species: the basic idea- taxonomy. Grouping organisms into categories based on physical charecteristics in groups domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family,
