BIOL 108: Mammalian Anatomy

Dive into the biochemistry of haemoglobin, a pivotal protein in red blood cells. We assess key statements about its structure and function, clarifying common misconceptions.

Discover which metabolic pathway is the heavyweight champion of ATP production. We'll evaluate contenders like lactic acid fermentation, the Krebs cycle, and more to determine the top ATP generator.

Discover the concept of adaptation in this video, where we evaluate four scenarios to determine which represents a heritable trait enhancing an organism's survival in its environment. Learn how the webbed feet of a duck exemplify a true adaptation, enabling it to thrive in its habitat.

Uncover the intricacies of adaptive radiation, the rapid diversification of species into new ecological niches. Understand factors that drive this phenomenon and how genetic drift stands as an exception. Learn the role of evolutionary innovations and interactions in species divergence.

Explore the multifaceted world of Systems Biology and the validity of different theories. Learn how Systems Biology goes beyond genomics to understand complex biological systems through interactions among their components. Uncover the essence of this field in understanding the symphony of life.

Discover the pivotal genetic change behind the evolution of tetrapod limbs, focusing on a specific shift in the Hox gene expression. Unravel the significance of this change and its role in the spatial organization of body parts.
