Ant 100y1y lecture 2: principles of evolution: understand microevolution, understand macroevolution. Focuses on how evolution works at level of phenotypes, genes, and populations. Somatic cells: most cells in body (except sex cells) Cytoplasm: complex mix of membranes, molecules, and tiny structures called organelles. Paired rod-shaped structures in cell nucleus containing genes that transmit traits from generation to generation. Deoxyribonucleic acid: nucleic acid used to store genetic information that codes for the synthesis of proteins. Four bases: adenine (a), guanine (g), cytosine (c), and thymine (t) Linear sequences of amino acids; building blocks of cells. Each protein has specific function determined by blueprint stored in dna. E. g catalysis of all biochemical reactions is done by enzymes, which contain protein (digestion); and many more. Dna replication - > transcription -> rna -> translation -> protein.
