Document Summary

Genetics is: life, complexity, diversity, design, disease, death, sex, reproduction, evolution. Genome sequencing: big computers spit out lots of data; gave rise to big businesses and big promises of diversity and evolution across the planet. Genome: a set of genetic instructions within a biological compartment. Tree of life: shows the evolution and diversification of life as a result of genetic and genomic changes genomes coding have their own genome of genome are not needed to make the organism. Eukaryotes: have dna in multiple compartments, are more complex, and everything is sealed tighter (eg. like a knapsack with many pockets compared to a ziploc bag) Evolution occurs because of changes in regulatory networks, not structural genes. Woese): have a genome and descended from luca (3. 5 bya) Rna world: came before luca with its. Dna genome; maybe an rna molecule was self-replicating. Archaea: most abundant group of organisms on the planet; in plankton.
