Describe evidence that DNA carries genetic information Mendel: coined “units of inheritance” (later turned genes) Miescher: isolated “nuclein”(DNA) from pus cells Morgan: studied drosophilia  “genes are on chromosomes” Chromosomes contain proteins and DNA Griffith: Experiments on strains of a pneumoniae bacterium passed genetic material from one bacteria to another  there is an inheritance factor Inheritance factor is probably protein Avery: destroyed everything but...

Molecular Biology is the field of biology that studies the composition, structure and interactions of cellular molecules – such as nucleic acids and proteins – that carry out the biological processes essential for the cell’s functions and maintenance

The following topics are covered in this document: CELL MEMBRANES. Glycolipids. Glycoproteins. Mechanism of action of Penicillin. Three major mechanisms for bacterial resistance against antibiotics. How does a protein end up in the right orientation and in the right membrane. What is the difference between cotranslational and post-translational translocation. CHEMICAL GROUPS ASSOCIATE AND DISSOCIATION. CHLOROPLASTS. ORGANELLES.

The following topics are covered in this document: Cell membranes Microscopy Cell walls Membrane proteins Endo- and exocytosis The cytoskeleton Cell motility Mitochondria and chloroplasts Cell signalling

Biology is the study of living things. It encompasses the cellular basis of living things, the energy metabolism that underlies the activities of life, and the genetic basis for inheritance in organisms. In this document there is a very good summary and introduction to biology

Biology notes taken from last year. It contains: the human body systems Additionally, the frog anatomy.
