respiration‚ and cell division. One molecule of ATP contains three phosphate groups‚ and it is produced by ATP synthase from inorganic phosphate and adenosine diphosphate (ADP). ATP is used is many organisms and also in different ways. Below are a few ways in which ATP is used. When muscles contract in any organism‚ it means muscle fibers are generating tension with the help of motor neurons. ATP is the source of energy that allows this to take place. Voluntary muscle contraction is controlled by the central

Chromosome 6 This book is more or less two stories being told at the same time and then morphing together towards the end. It begins at a doctor’s office in New York with the main characters Jack Stapleton and Laurie Montgomery. They are presented with a case concerning the murder of a mob member‚ Carlo Franconi. They are rudely awakened when they go in for the autopsy and the Franconi body is missing. This intrigues Laurie and she is on a mission to find out who stole the body. While this is taking

EXAM1 Q1. How many chromosomes are in a typical red blood cell taken from a normal person? Zero Q2. The degree to which a trait is expressed in individuals is the expressivity of the trait. Q3. In pedigrees‚ a male individual is symbolized as a square. Q4. The chromosomal structure that anchors the spindle fiber to the chromosome is centromere. Q5. The short arm of a submetacentric chromosome is symbolized as the p arm. Q6. Genetic diseases transmitted only by a mother to both sons and daughters

Chapter 10 Foundations of Genetics Lecture Notes 1 Foundations of Genetics Mendel and the Garden pea The father of modern Genetics is Gregor Mendel. Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) was an Austrian monk who lived in a monastery where the experiments with the garden pea were performed. Mendel’s work with the garden pea was the fundamental study which unveiled the laws that govern genetics and heredity. Mendel was the first to use the scientific method in a very systematic and analysed his results

Genetically modified organisms are organisms that’s genetic material has been changed using engineering techniques. Organisms that are genetically modified include microorganisms such as bacteria and yeast‚ insects‚ plants‚ fish‚ and mammals. This alteration of the genes usually entails inserting genetic material into an organism in a laboratory without natural mating‚ breeding or reproduction. Instead of breeding two plants or animals together to bring out certain traits in the offspring‚ the plant

Ever wonder how evolution comes to be? How some species win and others lose? Evolution has many different ways of making organisms all better‚ faster‚ and more adept to live. Four big categories of the mechanisms of evolution are natural selection‚ gene flow‚ genetic drift‚ and mutations. The majority of the time‚ nature goes by a trial and error system that can take up many centuries to come up with a change that is beneficial. Natural selection is the process in which nature removes its mistakes

Primates There are two different suborders of primates such as strepsirrhini and haplorrhini. All non-human primates are divided by these two suborders; in other words‚ primates with having moist nose are strepsirrhini‚ and primates with dry nose are haplorrhini. In modern day‚ lots of primates still exist in specific regions. For instance‚ ring-tailed lemur is one of non-human primates from strepsirrhini‚ and chimpanzee is one of primates from haplorrhini. Because of living in different environment‚ these
