Lectures in this course (61)

Provides an overview of the 2021 BIO-105 course organisation and explores the structural hierarchy of animals and the concept of homeostasis.

Explores the lipid bilayer structure of the plasma membrane through historical experiments and electron microscopy.

Explores DNA replication, repair, PCR basics, genetic diversity, and forensic applications.

Explores monozygotic twins' genetics, paternity testing with microsatellites, trisomy 21 detection, and pre-implantation diagnostics.

Explores DNA structure, replication, transcription, mRNA translation, and gene expression regulation.

Explores RNA splicing mechanisms, alternative splicing, ribosome function, and translation process in eukaryotic cells.

Explores the translation process in eukaryotes, focusing on tRNA, ribosomes, amino acids, and the accuracy of translation.

Explores Mendel's laws, inheritance patterns, and genetic disorders like sickle-cell disease.

Explores genetic inheritance, albinism, mutations, and phenotypic effects of environmental factors.

Explores meiosis, focusing on chromosome division, genetic shuffling, and consequences of errors.

Explores chromosomal dosage, genetic disorders, inheritance patterns, and X chromosome inactivation.
