BISI 131: Chemistry I - Fundamentals of General Chemistry

Learn how bioremediation works to treat contaminated environments and how microbes can help clean up pollutants. We evaluate multiple scenarios zeroing in on oil-degrading bacteria as a prime example of the process.

Discover the pivotal genetic change behind the evolution of tetrapod limbs, focusing on a specific shift in the Hox gene expression. Unravel the significance of this change and its role in the spatial organization of body parts.

Explore the distinct differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic chromosomes. Understand their structures, organization, size, and cellular locations. Grasp how these genetic units underscore life's incredible diversity.

Discover the distinct identity of elements as we clarify the smallest unit that embodies their unique properties. Breaking down options such as electrons, isotopes, and elemental particles, this video offers a clear explanation of why atoms stand out.

Discover what happens in your body after a hearty meal! Learn about the concept of 'distension' and how nerve cells act as messengers to your control center, orchestrating the digestive process.

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.
