BISC 403010: Genetic and Evolutionary Biology

Explore the vital roles of pharyngeal slits in lancelets and tunicates. Learn how these clefts aid in filter-feeding, capturing food particles, and evolve through different life stages.

This video explores the distinction between innate and learned behaviors in animals. Innate behaviors are inborn and instinctive, while learned behaviors develop through experiences and observations, allowing animals to adapt to their environment and enhance their chances of survival.

In this video, we explore the crucial role of the cytoplasm in a cell and its division. By drawing parallels to intriguing concepts like telekinesis, we shed light on vital processes like karyokinesis and cytokinesis. By the end, we unveil cytokinesis as the primary method for plant cell cytoplasm division.

Explore the anatomy and function of muscle fibers, focusing on the critical role of the sarcolemma. Delve into the significance of myofibrils, sarcoplasm, and T-tubules. Understand the intricacies of muscle contraction and the cell's role in it.

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.
