These biology notes provide a clear, high-yield summary of key concepts, including cell digestion and recycling processes such as phagocytosis and autophagy, the chromosome theory of inheritance, and Mendel’s foundational genetics experiments using pea plants. The notes explain traits, phenotypes, and monohybrid crosses, including how dominant and recessive traits are inherited. They also cover nucleic acid structure and function, detailing DNA and RNA differences, nucleotide components, base pairing, and the three levels of DNA structure that allow genetic information to be stored efficiently. Additionally, the guide includes cell membrane transport mechanisms, diffusion, and tonicity, as well as prokaryotic gene regulation through operons, the trp operon, global gene regulation via regulons, and the SOS response to DNA damage. This resource is organized, easy to understand, and ideal for students studying introductory biology, genetics, or cell biology.
