General Biology I

These are the notes from Lecture 26: Viruses in General Biology I. The topics covered are viral structures, lytic cycle, lysogenic cycle, HPV, and cancer.

These are the notes for Lecture 24 & 25: Gene Expression From Gene to Protein in General Biology I. The topics covered are gene expression in bacteria versus eukaryotes, triplet codes, transcription, translation, and mutations.

These are the notes from Lecture 38: Phylogeny and the History of Life on Earth in General Biology I. The topics covered are taxonomy, convergence, radiometric dating, and fission tracking.

These are the notes for Lecture 37: Stem Cells and Cloning in General Biology I. The topics covered are mechanisms of gene duplication, hox genes, adult and embryonic stem cells.

These are the notes for Lecture 36: Genomes and their Evolution in General Biology I. The topics covered are bioinformatics, DNA sequencing, orthologs and paralogs.

These are the notes for Lecture 35: Speciation in General Biology I. The topics covered are reproductive isolation, the modes of speciation, and hybrid zones.

These are the notes for Lecture 34: Microevolution in General Biology I. The topics covered are the main mechanisms of evolution, gene flow, genetic drift, and genetic variation. These notes are only tested on in the final exam, not the exams throughout the course.

These are the notes for Lecture 33: Evolution in General Biology I. The topics covered are making a phylogenetic tree, Aristotle's theory, natural selection, and artificial selection. This content is not tested on in any of the exams; it is only tested on in the final exam.

These are the notes for Lecture 32: Hardy-Weinberg and Phylogenetic Trees in General Biology I. The topics covered are Hardy-Weinberg theorem, cladogram vs. phylogram, and example problems step-by-step for the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. These notes are not part of any of the exam and are only tested on in the final exam.

These are the notes for Lecture 19: The Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance in General Biology I. The topics covered are sex-linked traits, genetic maps, and genomic imprinting.
