BIOL 24125: Adv Cell/Molecular Biology

Uncover the key roles of the cerebral cortex, from cognition and memory to emotional regulation. Compare its functions to those of the hypothalamus, particularly regarding circadian rhythms. Get the answer to what the cerebral cortex doesn't govern.

Unlock the language of genetic history with our guide to understanding pedigrees and their symbols. Learn how to interpret squares circles and lines to track inheritance patterns for traits and diseases.

In this video we explore the unique characteristics that set animals apart from other organisms. We evaluate options like gastrulation multicellularity sexual reproduction and flagellated sperm. Conclusively we identify gastrulation as a truly unique process in animal embryonic development.

Learn the distinctions between dispersal and vicariance in biology. Understand how organisms' movements and environmental changes play crucial roles in allopatric speciation. Grasp the differences between movement across existing barriers and the creation of new barriers.

Explore the key concepts that might illustrate the unity among all organisms including emergent properties descent with modification and natural selection. Understand why the structure and function of DNA ultimately stand as the best example of this unity
