BIOLOGY 283 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Streptococcus, Bacteriophage, Chromosome
Document Summary
Pass essentially unmanaged from one generation to the next. Physical appearance and biochemical properties of the organism. Undergo mutation to allow variation that leads to adaptation a rediscovery of mendel. Discovery of the genetic material a outline chromosome theory and composition. Mendel chromosome ( mostly little protein nucleic acids. Protein really complicated , 20 amino acids the complexity of life would be best captured with more complex molecules. Very simple , only 4 nucleotides don"t know the structure of dna yet. Dna is the hereditary material: streptococcus pneumonia.
