Study Notes
Evolutionary Ecology
- Intersects with ecology and evolutionary biology
- Considers the evolutionary causes and consequences of ecological interactions
Main Subfields of Evolutionary Ecology
- Not a main subfield: molecular ecology
- Primarily considers the evolution of interactions between organisms and their environment
- A large part of evolutionary ecology is the study of adaptation
Cell Biology
- The nuclear envelope is responsible for maintaining the integrity of genes and regulating gene expression
- The function of the nuclear envelope is to separate the nucleus from the cytoplasm
- Prokaryotic cells (such as bacteria) have no nuclei
- The nuclear matrix is a network of filaments that provides structural support to the nucleus
- Nearly all of the cell's genome is located in the nucleus
