TOPIC THREE: ARTISTIC EXPRESSION AND EVOLUTION/ANTHRO! Like to draw? Don't like it but know it could be yet ANOTHER way to help learn/remember important concepts? This is your chance to complete a DB topic AND draw something you learned this week in our class!!! Can you use AI 🤖? Sure! Dall-E submissions welcomed (please cite appropriately!)! Week 3 notes Overview & Learning Objectives Understand DNA replication and the cell cycle. Differentiate between mitosis and meiosis. Explain protein synthesis: transcription and translation. Apply Mendelian inheritance to predict genotypes/phenotypes. Explore the complexities of genetic inheritance and polygenic traits. Consider bioethical concerns of genetic testing. Molecules of Life Four essential biomolecules: proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. Proteins: structural, enzymatic, hormonal, defensive, motor. Lipids: energy storage, cell membrane structure, hormones. Carbohydrates: energy source (e.g., glucose). Nucleic acids: DNA and RNA carry genetic information. Cells & Organelles Prokaryotes: single-celled, no membrane-bound organelles. Eukaryotes: single or multicellular, with membrane-bound organelles. Key organelles: Nucleus: stores DNA. Mitochondria: energy production (ATP), contain mtDNA. ER, Golgi body, lysosomes, ribosomes: protein synthesis and transport. DNA Structure & Organization Double helix with complementary base pairs: A-T, C-G. DNA is coiled into chromatin, then chromosomes. Humans have 23 See more
