Document Summary
Unit 1 from big to small (lectures 2-6) Distance between each turn in helix and beta dna. Transfer from dna to rna to protein and intricate details. Easy to lose sight of the big picture. Complexity intricate complexities such as multicellularity, tissues, sex, reproduction, flagella. Diversity of the sea, etc. , diversity is a product of genetics. Evolution like a canvass, colors and pigments can change over time; paintbrush that paints the picture is genetic changes; darwin didn"t know that dna was the genetic code and now evolution is largely based on a genetic science. This is where genes and genomes are found. The evolution and diversification of life are the result of genetic changes. Any living thing goes into any of the 3 bins. Cellular life forms in these bins have a genome which makes them alive. Genes a set of genetic instructions within a biological compartment.
