Document Summary

Chap 1 evolution, theme of biology, scientific inquiry. Evolution- process of change that has transformed life on earth from beginning to diversity. Reductionism- reduces complex systems to simpler components that are more manageable to study. Emergent properties- due to arrangement and interaction of parts as complexity increases. Systems biology- exploration of biological system by analyzing the interaction among its parts. Prokaryotic cell- lacks nucleus or other membrane enclosed organelles and are smaller than eukaryotic cells. Dna- it is chromosomes and contains genetics materials and each chromosomes contains one very long dna molecules with many genes (section of the dna of chromosome and are units of inheritance) Gene expression- information in gene directs the manufacture of a cellular product. Genome- entire library of genetics instruction that an organism inherits. Genomics- study whole sets of genes in one or more species. Proteomics- study of sets of proteins and their properties. Bioinformatics- use of computational tools to store, organize and analyze the data.
