Review of Chapter 11: Mendel and the Gene Idea Gregor Mendel used the scientific approach to identify two laws of inheritance. He formulated a theory of inheritance based on experiments with garden peas, proposing that parents pass on to their offspring discrete genes that retain their identity through generations. This theory includes two ?laws.? The?law of segregation: This law states that genes have alternative forms called alleles. In a diploid organism, the two alleles of a gene separate during meiosis and gamete formation; each sperm or egg carries only one allele of each pair.?Each organism inherits one allele for each gene from each parent.

Chapter 16: The Molecular Basis of Inheritance 16.1: DNA is the genetic material The Search for the Genetic Material: Scientific Inquiry Evidence that DNA Can Transform Bacteria Fredrick Griffith studied a bacterium that causes pneumonia in mammals killed pathogenic bacteria with heat and then mixed with living bacteria of nonpathogenic some of the living became pathogenic transformation = change in genotype and phenotype due to the assimilation of external DNA by a cell Oswald Avery broke open bacterium?s proteins, DNA, and RNA transformation only occurred with DNA Evidence that Viral DNA Can Program Cells bacteriophages - viruses that infect bacteria Hershey and Chase used radioactive sulfur and phosphorus to trace fates of protein and DNA

Copyright ? 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. - 1 - Name_______________________Period___________ Chapter 7: Membrane Structure and Function Concept 7.1 Cellular membranes are fluid mosaics of lipids and proteins 1. Phospholipids are amphipathic. Explain what this means. Amphipathic means that the phospholipid has both a hydrophilic region and a hydrophobic region. 2. In the 1960s, the Davson-Danielli model of membrane structure was widely accepted. Describe this model and then cite two lines of evidence that were inconsistent with it. The Davson-Danielli model of membrane structure suggested that the membrane might be coated on both sides with hydrophilic proteins, with a phospholipid bilayer between two layers of proteins.

AP Biology Chapter 1: Introduction: Themes in the Study of Life Evolution: the process or change that has transformed life on Earth from its earliest beginnings to the diversity of organisms living today Biology: the scientific study of life Concept 1.1: The themes of this book make connections across different areas of biology Theme: New properties emerge at each level in the biological hierarchy Emergent Properties New properties emerge at each step, properties that are not present at the preceding level Due to the arrangement and interaction of parts as complexity increases The Power and Limitations of Reductionism If we study organisms and cells by breaking them down, they are not cells anymore Organisms or cells cannot be studied without taking them apart

Biology is an ever expanding body of knowledge? ? too much to memorize it all ? need to generalize ? create a framework upon which to organize new knowledge ? themes (Big Ideas) are fundamental in understanding the nature of living organisms Big Idea #1 The process of evolution drives the unity and diversity of life. Organizing Life?s Diversity ? Making sense out of the diversity ? Hierarchical scheme Nothing in biology makes sense

(controlled). Most are controlled? at the ?allosteric site? using ?inhibitors? and ?activators?. I. If ?NO OXYGEN ?is present ?within ? the cell (?Anaerobic? means ?without oxygen?): A. ?Fermentation? will occur to ?free up the electron carriers? to keep at least ?Glycolysis? going making ATP.
