Module 33: Genetic and Environmental Influences on Intelligence 33-1 Genetic Influences people who share the same genes also share comparable mental abilities intelligence test scores of identical twins raised together are virtually the same brain scans indicate identical twins have the same gray matter volume adopted children?s intelligence scores become more like those of their biological parents over time and identical twins similarities continue or increase into their 80s. aka genes influence a lot. heritability ? the proportion of variation among individuals that we can attribute to genes. The heritability of a trait may vary, depending on the range of populations and environments studied. If environments become more equal, the heritability of intelligence would INCREASE

Chapter 55 Conservation Biology and Restoration Ecology Lecture Outline Overview: The Biodiversity Crisis Conservation biology integrates ecology, evolutionary biology, physiology, molecular biology, genetics, and behavioral ecology to conserve biological diversity at all levels. Restoration ecology applies ecological principles in an effort to return degraded ecosystems to conditions as similar as possible to their natural, predegraded state. Scientists have described and formally named about 1.8 million species of organisms. Some biologists think that about 10 million more species currently exist. Others estimate the number to be as high as 200 million.

AP BIOLOGY CHAPTER 20 DNA TECHNOLOGY AND GENOMICS PAGE 375 Mapping and sequencing of human genome has been accomplished Via recombinant DNA ?. Genes from two different sources Genetic engineering?? manipulaton of genes? Biotechnology ?..manipulation to make useful products? Microbes to make wine and cheese, selective breeding of livestock DNA Cloning Making multiple identical copies of gene-sized DNA A gene inserted into a plasmid Bacteria reproduces?.recombinant plasmid is replicated Diagram pg 376 Potential uses ?.. Produce a protein product Ex. Gene for human growth hormone Produce many copies of gene So the gene nucleotide sequence can be determined Or give an organism a new metabolic ability?.pest Resistance?.

Cognition: Memory

Jessica Brooks 1-31-2013 AP Psych p.3 Chapter 7A Notes Introduction: Memories are what make us Memory: Information that is stored and has stayed over a period of time Just regular people have the ability to remember amazing things Some could remember parts of images shown 17 years earlier Information Processing Model: takes after a computer ? 3 parts Encoding: How information gets into our brain Storage: How we hold onto the information or store it like a hard drive Retrieval: How we get the information back from our brain like in computer files Connectionism: Another theory to how our memories work, which states that memories are made of interconnected neural networks, and memories are made of three stages Brief sensory memory like a quick image shown and then fading away

Cell Signaling

Local/paracrine signaling: In paracrine signaling a signaling cells releases messenger molecules into the extracellular fluid and these local regulators influence nearby cells. Long distance signaling: Hormones are chemical signals that travel to more distant cells. Long distance signaling is going to be seen the most in the nervous system. There are 3 stages of cell signaling... 1. Reception 2. Transmission 3. Response RECEPTION There are three basic types of membrane receptors:

Biology 240 SI Session #10 Chapter 12 SI Leader: Lauren Curtis Email: [email protected] Prokaryotes: Describe the process of 'binary fission' : Binary fission is the process by which a prokaryotic cell cell reproduces asexually by dividing in half. This does not include mitosis in prokaryotes, but a process all in it's own. The cell duplicates it's DNA, doubling in size, and then splits into two daughter cells. Here are some terms you need to be familiar with in regards to cell division... Chromatin: A DNA-protein complex, represents DNA in it's unfolded and non condensed form. Chromosomes: Represents DNA folded and condensed down as the cell gets ready to divide. It organizes the DNA in a way where parts won't get lost when the cell splits in half.

Chapter 17 From Gene to Protein Overview: The Flow of Genetic Information The information content of DNA is in the form of specific sequences of nucleotides along the DNA strands. The DNA inherited by an organism leads to specific traits by dictating the synthesis of proteins. Gene expression, the process by which DNA directs protein synthesis, includes two stages called transcription and translation. Proteins are the links between genotype and phenotype. Concept 17.1 Genes specify proteins via transcription and translation The study of metabolic defects provided evidence that genes specify proteins. In 1909, Archibald Gerrod was the first to suggest that genes dictate phenotype through enzymes that catalyze specific chemical reactions in the cell.

Chapter 11 Cell Communication Overview: The Cellular Internet Cell-to-cell communication is essential for multicellular organisms Biologists have discovered some universal mechanisms of cellular regulation The combined effects of multiple signals determine cell response The dilation of blood vessels is controlled by multiple molecules Concept 11.1: External signals are converted to responses within the cell Microbes are a window on the role of cell signaling in the evolution of life Evolution of Cell Signaling A signal transduction pathway is a series of steps by which a signal on a cell?s surface is converted into a specific cellular response Signal transduction pathways convert signals on a cell?s surface into cellular responses
