MCB 2410: Genetics

Explore the world of microbiology in this video as we investigate the processes that lead to genetic variation in bacterial populations. Learn about transduction, transformation, conjugation, and mutation, and discover why meiosis, a process occurring in sexually reproducing organisms, is not a source of genetic variation in bacteria.

Explore the concept of semiconservative DNA replication, where each new DNA molecule retains one original strand. Understand the significance of this mechanism in ensuring accurate genetic information transfer across cell generations.

Journey through the intricate layers of life, from the foundational atoms and molecules that shape our world to the grand evolution of organisms. Discover how tools, like the microscope, revolutionized our understanding, and delve deep into the essence of biology. Experience the fusion of history, science, and the beauty of nature in one comprehensive exploration.

Unravel the origins of blood cell types as we differentiate between myeloid and lymphoid stem cells, highlighting the unique lineage of platelets, B cells, and Natural Killer cells.

Discover the intricacies of lymphocytes, vital immune system cells, as we uncover where they develop the ability to effectively combat foreign invaders and the unique roles of T and B lymphocytes and NK cells.
