BIOL 160: Cellular and Molecular Biology

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.

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.

Venture into the intricate mechanisms of a eukaryotic cell as we clarify the conditions under which transcription begins. Discover the pivotal role of the promoter and the essential docking of transcription factors.

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.

In this video we explore the unique characteristics that set animals apart from other organisms. We evaluate options like gastrulation multicellularity sexual reproduction and flagellated sperm. Conclusively we identify gastrulation as a truly unique process in animal embryonic development.

Understand the essence of controlled experiments and the significance of control groups. Unpack the common misconceptions associated with experimental design. Grasp the key factors that make an experiment truly controlled.
