BIOL 1307: Biology for Science Majors 2

Explore the nephron's role in kidney function, focusing on its five crucial processes. Understand filtration's non-selectivity compared to the discriminative nature of other processes. Gain insights into the kidney's intricate balance and selectivity.

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.

Understand the essence of controlled experiments and the significance of control groups. Unpack the common misconceptions associated with experimental design. Grasp the key factors that make an experiment truly controlled.

Learn about mouse genetics and the implications of dominant and recessive genes on coat color. We'll use a Punnett square to predict offspring coat patterns by crossing two heterozygous mice. Learn how phenotype ratios like 9 Agouti: 4 white: 3 black help us understand genetic outcomes.

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.
