related to the physicochemical structure of the elementary units of the cell, particularly its chromosomal apparatus. The principles of the organization of this physicochemical structure (the genetic code) appear to be universal for all living things and are regarded as the most important attribute of...
Mary Lyon – British Geneticist – discovered in female cells, most of the genes in one of the X chromosomes are randomly switched off, forming a dense region known as a Barr body. Barr bodies are generally not found in males because their single X chromosome is still active. Same process ...
'How Heredity Works: Why Living Things Are As They Are,' by Jeanne Bendick, 'Plants on the Go: A Book About Seed Dispersal,' by Eleanor B. Heady, with illustrations by Susan Swan and 'Push! Pull! Stop! Go!: A Book About Forces and Motion,' by R.J. Lefkowitz, with illustrations...
Living organisms are of two very different kinds: bacteria and eukaryotes. This basic dichotomy is seen in their fundamentally different cell organisation and radically different life cycles and mechanisms of genetic exchange. Although eukaryotes are typified by the presence of a cell nucleus that multi...
Advancements in the fields of evolution, heredity, and ecology have been significant in the past couple of centuries. Here we will investigate the major developments in these fields, with emphasis on the more recent. Life Explained The study of living things has been a dynamic and varied field...
All living things are made of cells Unicellular organisms are made of a single cell. Why is this a unicellular organism? Two types of Cells Eukaryotic Cells – are in organisms that are made up of one or more cells a. They are more complex so they can carry out more specialized functions...
Earth has housed a vast variety of plants, animals, and other living things throughout the history of its existence, and many living things have changed in discernible ways over the years. The theory of...
Lindsey is passionate about teaching all things genetics and passing on her love for the subject to the next generation of geneticists. See Lindsey Compton’s website here Ben Evans, PhD, McMaster University, Canada Ben Evans is a Professor in the Biology Department at McMaster University, ...
Investigate the structure and function of proteins in living things Chemical structure of proteins: -Proteins contain the elements; carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen and sometimes sulphur.-These elements combine to form amino acids which are the building blocks of proteins....
