Study Notes
Conrad Gessner
- Known as the Father of Modern Zoology for his contributions to zoological studies through animal dissections.
- Works became fundamental references for medicine during the Middle Ages.
- Classified animals similarly to Aristotle, organizing data on various species including fish and birds.
- Authored "Historia Animalium," a 5-volume encyclopedia documenting knowledge of plants and animals, marking the beginning of modern zoology.
Galen
- Pioneered human anatomy studies, influencing medical practices in the 16th century.
- His anatomical dissertations laid groundwork for understanding the circulatory system, especially the heart and blood flow.
William Harvey
- Renowned for demonstrating blood circulation and the functions of the heart, arteries, and veins.
- Significant contributions to understanding the movement of blood in the body.
Antoine van Leeuwenhoek
- Created the first simple microscope, enhancing the study of microorganisms and animal life in the 1600s.
DNA Replication
- Process by which DNA makes copies of itself through messenger RNA (mRNA).
- Involves four steps: fork formation, primer binding, and the copying of DNA strands into complementary strands.
Translation
- Process where proteins are synthesized from RNA sequences.
- mRNA serves as a template to produce polypeptides using codon sequences derived from DNA.
Inheritance Patterns
- Characteristics of organisms are influenced by genes carried in chromosomes from parents to offspring.
- Mendelian Laws include:
- Law of Segregation: Gene pairs separate during meiosis, allowing equal probability for gametes.
- Law of Independent Assortment: Alleles of different genes segregate independently.
- Law of Dominance: Dominant alleles mask the effects of recessive alleles.
Forms of Speciation
- Allopatric Speciation: Geographic separation leads to new species formation due to adaptations and genetic drift.
- Peripatric Speciation: New species develops from isolated peripheral populations adjacent to the parent species.
- Parapatric Speciation: Speciation occurs within overlapping geographic areas, with different selection pressures on populations.
- Sympatric Speciation: Speciation occurs within a single population without geographic barriers, often influenced by ecological factors.
Key Concepts in Genetics
- Non-Mendelian inheritance mechanisms include incomplete dominance and codominance.
- The importance of reproductive isolation for the development of new species, ensuring successful mating within distinct populations.
