SYSB 2984: Biology of Sex

Explore the definitions of tissue, organ, and organ system. Understand the distinctions and interconnectedness between these components. Get an overview of the human body's eleven major organ systems and their functions.

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.

Explore the fascinating intersection of human and prokaryotic genetics revealing that both contain about 1000 shared genes despite their complexity difference. The video explains how this common genetic heritage can be traced back to a universal ancestor covering the essential functions these genes perform like metabolism and DNA replication.

Primary succession is the process of converting barren, lifeless rock into a flourishing terrestrial community. This ecological transformation begins with pioneering species and lays the foundation for complex ecosystems.

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.

Deepen your understanding of glycolysis, a foundational cellular metabolism process. Grasp how glucose transforms into pyruvate or lactate, based on the presence of oxygen. A clear insight into this process aids in exercise science and disease research.
