BIOLOGY 101 COURSE SYLLABUS FOR FALL 2012 Course Description Biology 101 is the first of a two-semester introductory course sequence designed primarily for science majors. It covers some central concepts in biology. Topics include molecules‚ cells‚ enzymes‚ photosynthesis‚ cellular respiration‚ cellular reproduction‚ genetics‚ and biotechnology. The laboratory includes basic laboratory skills such as safety‚ microscope use‚ and measurement‚ and it reinforces topics discussed in lecture

either parent are placed into gametes during meiosis in the F generation. The F can be thought of as having been formed 1 1 from two haploid “input” gametes. In this case‚ the F is a dihybrid with AB on one chromosome and ab on the other 1 chromosome. You can tell this by looking at the parents. The F1 hybrid got AB from one parent and ab from the other parent (AB/ab). A dihybrid that is AB/ab can produce four possible “output” gametes through meiosis. Output gametes that match one of the input gametes

germination. Life for an animal begins when exiting the mother’s womb or from an egg. In both cases‚ birth is experienced; however‚ with plants the process is called mitosis and with animals it is called meiosis. In plants gametes are not produced directly‚ they have an extra step in which meiosis produces spores. Plants and animals are becoming known more and more for their vital human usage in many areas‚ such as

Why offspring produced by the same parents are different in appearance Offspring differ somewhat from their parents and from one another. Instructions for development are passed from parents to offspring in thousands of discrete genes‚ each of which is now known to be a segment of a molecule of DNA. This essay will explore some of the reasons behind how and why these differences in appearance arise‚ from the base sequence of DNA through to the observed phenotype. Genes come in different varieties

A flower‚ sometimes known as a bloom or blossom‚ is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants (plants of the division Magnoliophyta‚ also called angiosperms). The biological function of a flower is to effect reproduction‚ usually by providing a mechanism for the union of sperm with eggs. Flowers may facilitate outcrossing (fusion of sperm and eggs from different individuals in a population) or allow selfing (fusion of sperm and egg from the same flower). Some flowers produce diaspores

into gene products. 2). Explain how nondisjunction may be related to Down syndrome. Describe four syndromes that result from inheritance of an abnormal sex chromosome number. During meiosis chromosomes are separated equally but if they are not separated equally this is known as non-disjunction in males meiosis I accounts for 80% of cases this is where gametes end up with either an extra chromatid or no chromatid. With Down syndrome the offspring carries an extra chromatid in Chromosome 21 which
