BIOL 191: Anatomy and Physiology B

Unravel the intricacies of a eukaryotic cell, its DNA structure, and the proteins that aid its function. Delve into the roles of cohesin, condensin, and histones, and discover the difference between chromatin, nucleosomes, and sister chromatids. Gain clarity on the pivotal structure ensuring successful cell division.

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.

Explore the nature of compounds in chemistry, focusing on potassium chloride (KCl) and its dissociation. Understand the distinctions between salts, acids, bases, and buffers. Dive into the characteristic behaviors of each to identify the true nature of KCl.

Explore the pivotal role of enhancers in gene expression as we dissect their function and interaction with transcription factors. Gain insights into how they crucially influence the transcriptional control of genes.

Discover the body's innate ability to adapt to extreme cold conditions. Learn how the brain orchestrates warming responses like shivering. Grasp the concept of homeostasis in maintaining internal stability.

Get insights into the role of lysosomes in different cell types. Find out which cell is the ideal choice for studying these powerful digestive organelles and why.
