Document preview thumbnail
Preview 2 out of 11 pages

These notes provide a structured and simplified breakdown of foundational genetics concepts covered in BIO151. The material focuses on classical Mendelian inheritance and core genetic principles. Topics include: 1. Photosynthesis: *Calvin cycle diagrams *Light and dark reactions *Carbon fixation 2. Cellular Division *Binary fission *Mitosis steps *Meiosis steps 3. Foundations of Genetics: *Introduction to genetics as a field of study *Contributions of Gregor Mendel *Why pea plants were used in early inheritance experiments *True-breeding plants and controlled crosses 4. Genes, Traits & Alleles *Definition of genes and their role in coding for proteins *How DNA determines observable traits *Chromosomes and gene organization *Alleles (different versions of genes) *Dominant vs. recessive inheritance 5. Punnett Squares *Step-by-step setup *Predicting genotypes and phenotypes *Homozygous vs. heterozygous combinations *Understanding inheritance probabilities

Chlorophyll A pigments reaction center in absorb enough light energy and

USING THE ENERGY
·




-

thylaksid membrane contains the
enzyme ATP Synthase/makes ATP)
energy provided by pootons crossing the membrane
-




their kinetic chemical boad
energy is converted into energy

-

after ETC, electors kind to NADP (final electron acceptors
+


- A proton + electron- NADPA =
NADPH /high energy molecula
-

NADPH can later release the electron to provide energy for the Calvin Cycle
·
NADP"I NADPH
- NADP +: sidised , less electrons -
NADPH : reduced ,
more elections
-


NADP* Ricks up elections from ETC ,
becomes reduced to NADPH

going (endergonic reactions)
-
will later donate to keep calvin cycle

DISCOVERY
-



Calvin + Benson exposed algue to CO2 (radioactive carbon) and light exposure
-



ran tests to see where the G had been incorporated at different lengths of time

for light exposure
-tracing Carbon :
algae extract were subjected to
paper chromatography
the based
paper separates molecules size and
polarity
