Gregor Mendel Studied traits that occur in distinct forms. Developed true-breeding varieties When bred amongst themselves these plants produced offspring identical to the parent for that trait. Used mathematical analysis in his studies. Definitions Gametes: reproductive cells produced by sexually reproducing organisms. Two types: male gametes = sperm In plants: contained in pollen Female gametes = eggs In plants: contained in ovules which mature to seeds when fertilized Ovules contained in carpels Fertilization Fertilization: fusion of egg and sperm Self-fertilized: fusion of sperm and egg from same plant Cross fertilized: fusion of egg and sperm from two different plants Produced hybrids F1: first generation F2: second generation Mendel?s Model

Each base is paired by hydrogen bonding with its specific partner, A with T and G with C. The first step in replication is separation of the two DNA strands. The parent molecule has two complementary

Lecture 5 ? Kingdom of Fungi HW 1. Explain what a pseudohypha is. -A chain of yeast formed when buds remain attached in a row. 2. Explain what a ?dimorphic fungus? is. -It can take either form (yeast or hyphae), depending upon growth conditions, such as changing temperature. 3. What are mycoses? Fungal infections in the way the agent enters the body and the degree of tissue involvement. 4. What are the three most common sexual spores? -Zygospores, ascospores, and basidiospores 5. Give six types of asexual mold spores. -Arthrospore; Chlamydospore, Blastospore, phialospore, micro/macroconidium; porospores 6. What are zygospores?

Introduction: Exploring Life Chapter 1 Definition of Biology The study of life Characteristics of Living Organisms Living organisms are organized. Atom: the smallest unit of matter that still retains the properties of an element Molecule: two or more chemically bound elements Characteristics of Living Organisms Living organisms are organized Cell: the basic living unit of structure and function Eukaryotic cell Possesses a membrane-bound nucleus and membrane-bound organelles Ex. protists, fungi, plants, and animals Prokaryotic cell Does not possess a membrane-bound nucleus or membrane-bound organelles Ex. bacteria Characteristics of Living Organisms Living organisms are organized Tissue: a collection of like cells

Griffith Reported his experiment in 1928, which demonstrates that bacteria change their form and function, called bacterial transformation Experiment showed that a strain implicated in lobar pneumonia could transform into other strains, which he attributed to some transforming factor that would eventually be identified as DNA

B3.3 Keeping internal conditions constant 3.1 Controlling internal condition Keeping the conditions in the in the body within a narrow range is called homeostasis. Temperature, blood glucose, water and ion content and levels of waste products must all be controlled Waste products that have to be removed include; CO2 (produced by respiration) removed by the lungs urea (produced in the liver when amino acids are broken down) removed by the kidneys and temporarily stored in the bladder Water and ions enter the body when we eat and drink. If the water or ion content in the body is wrong, too much water may move into or out of the cells. This could damage or destroy the cells 3.2 The human kidney

Biology B3 B3.1 Exchange of materials 1.1 Osmosis Osmosis is the net movement of water particles from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration across a partially permeable membrane (e.g. a cell membrane) It?s random and re quires no energy 1.2 Active transport Cells may need to absorb substances which are in short supply, i.e. against the concentration gradient. To do this they use active transport to absorb substances across partially permeable membranes Active transport requires the use of energy released in respiration Cells are able to absorb ions from dilute solutions. For example, root cells absorb mineral ions from the dilute solutions in the soil by active transport Glucose can be reabsorbed in the kidney tubules by active transport
