MICR 1030: General Biology I

Explore how viruses replicate and the various ways in which new viruses emerge. Understand the importance of mutation, cross-species transmission, and the significance of wider spread in host species for disease control strategies.

This video traces the evolution of genetic understanding, beginning with Mendel's foundational pea plant experiments, which birthed basic inheritance laws. It delves into complexities like co-dominance, incomplete dominance, and polygenic inheritance. Highlighting the integral role of DNA, it explains its structure and replication, shedding light on mutations. The narrative underscores the interplay of genes with the environment, introducing epigenetics and the myriad ways genes express, shaping

Explore the similarities and differences between the circulatory systems of amphibians and humans. Understand the distinctions in heart chambers, blood pressure, and where these two species align in their circulatory features.

Discover how humans adapt to cold environments through thermoregulation processes. Understand the body's heat conservation and generation mechanisms. Learn why certain physiological responses occur in cold conditions.

Discover the intricacies of synovial joints, the body's most moveable joint type. Explore the role of articular cartilage, joint cavities, and the articular capsule in ensuring smooth movement. Gain insights into the varying presence of fibrocartilage in different synovial joints.

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.
