BIO 1105: Modern Concepts of Bioscience Laboratory

Learn about the composition of arteries focusing on those closer to the heart. Understand the role of endothelium smooth muscle fibers elastic fibers and collagen in these arterial structures. Discover why arteries near the heart have a higher percentage of elastic fibers to withstand pressure changes effectively.

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.

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.

Explore the significance of tracking same-age cohorts in population ecology. Learn how it aids in understanding birth and death rates, predicting population trends, and uncover the reasons behind this crucial ecological research practice.

Discover the science behind thermoregulation, focusing on endotherms and ectotherms. Understand how internal metabolic processes distinguish endotherms, while ectotherms rely on environmental factors. Highlighting the adaptations each group has evolved to thrive in their habitats.
