Nitrogenous bases use H-bonds to pair with complimentary bases
Structure and Function: Certain cell surfaces and the cytoskeleton have specific structures that correlate to the functions of the cell. (i.e. ECM, Cell Junctions)
Cell Respiration is an Exergonic process
Photosynthesis is an Endergonic process
During facilitated diffusion polar or charged molecules are transported through the plasma membrane.
Genetics involves Fetus Genetic Testing, which utilizes Karyotyping to organize and compare genes of a baby.
Gene Regulation can be considered as a Response to the Environment because certain genes may need to be suppressed or expressed as the environment changes.
GMO Rice failed to be accepted by developing countries due to lack of education and communication on purpose & benefits - failure to communicate with the scientific community
Translation requires the help of Ribosomal RNA, ribosomes, to complete the protein synthesis process.
Nucleotides are joined to their sugar-phosphate backbone with covalent bonds.
Denaturing is a key process in PCR amplification, a topic first introduced with the denaturing of proteins and prions.
Both Photosynthesis and Cell Respiration utilize an Electron Transport Chain in their processes
Methyl Groups can be added to the DNA polynucleotide to restrict gene expression
A transport vesicle is used in the case of Bulk Transport across the plasma membrane, such as Endo/Exocytosis
Zander Johnson Backes & Isabella Cho
In eukaryotes, cancer occurs when a gene that mediates the cell cycle and production of cells is repressed and the cell cycle continues rapidly and out of control
Third Generation sequencing computers can sequence a human's genome and doctors can use that to diagnose diseases/disorders, potentially even Sex-Linked traits.
One of Mendel's Laws, the Law of Independent Assortment, occurs during meiosis when chromosomes meet in the middle of the cell
DNA replication is when our DNA makes a copy of itself during cell division. Cell division is where we divide a cell into two daughter cells through the process of mitosis and meosis.
Photosynthesis makes glucose that's used in cellular respiration which is important for cellular respiration to make ATP, the source of energy and storage.
