Chromatin: Types of chromatin Chromatin In non-dividing cells, the DNA exists as chromatin and appears uncoiled and randomly dispersed After DNA replication (S phase) the chromatin begins to condense in preparation for mitosis Chromatin consists of 50% DNA, 50% proteins, mainly histones Chromatin is the structure that the eukaryotic genome is packaged into It allows long molecules of DNA to fit into the small volume of the nucleus The basic structural unit of chromatin is the nucleosome Further folding and compaction of chromatin produces visible metaphase chromosomes during cell division Heterochromatin vs Euchromatin Euchromation Active Chromatin The majority of chromatin is this form Less condensed, lightly packed in the nucleus (basic ?beads on a string? form ?check)

Chapter 18 Genomes and Their Revolution Overview: Reading the Leaves from the Tree of Life ? Complete genome sequences exist for a human, chimpanzee, E. coli and numerous other prokaryotes, corn, fruit fly, house mouse, orangutan, and others ? Comparisons of genomes among organisms provide information about the evolutionary history of genes and taxonomic groups ?Genomics is the study of whole sets of genes and their interactions ? Bioinformatics is the application of computational methods to the storage and analysis of biological data Concept 18.1: The Human Genome Project fostered development of faster, less expensive sequencing techniques ? The Human Genome Project officially began in 1990, and the sequencing was largely completed by 2003

Chapter 16: The Molecular Basis of Inheritance Overview: Life?s Operating Instructions Watson and Crick introduced the double-helical model for the structure of DNA DNA is the substance of inheritance encoded in chemical language of DNA and reproduced in all the cells of your body it is DNA that directs the development of many different types of traits Concept 16.1: DNA is the genetic material The Search for the Genetic Material: Scientific Inquiry the role of DNA in heredity was first worked out by studying bacteria and the viruses that infect them Evidence That DNA Can Transform Bacteria Griffith worked with a pathogenic and nonpathogenic strain

Evolution and the Themes of Biology Identify global challenges that may require a biological solution. pollution acid rain / ocean acidification antibiotic-resistant pathogens Describe how an organism?s environmental adaptations result from evolution. individuals best suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce more individuals will have these advantageous traits in subsequent generations (if they are heritable) Identify (and give examples) of the different levels of the hierarchy of biology. Domain: Eukarya Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Family: Ursidae Genus: Ursus Species: Ursus Maritimus Describe how the food competition hypothesis (in the context of giraffes? long necks) was not supported by data.

Ch 16 Multiple Choice Identify the letter of the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question. ____ 1. For a couple of decades, biologists knew the nucleus contained DNA and proteins. The prevailing opinion was that the genetic material was proteins, and not DNA. The reason for this belief was that proteins are more complex than DNA. This is because a. proteins have a greater variety of three-dimensional forms than does DNA. b. proteins have two different levels of structural organization; DNA has four. c. proteins are made of 20 amino acids and DNA is made of four nucleotides. d. Only A and C are correct. e. A, B, and C are correct. ____ 2. In his transformation experiments, Griffith observed that a.

Chapter 20: Biotechnology The AP Biology exam has reached into this chapter for essay questions on a regular basis over the past 15 years. Student responses show that biotechnology is a difficult topic. This chapter requires a strong conceptual understanding of the technological processes and the underlying biology that guides the procedure. With a little careful work, this chapter will give you insights into the incredible advancements already made and a basis for understanding the new marvels yet to be discovered in biotechnology. Overview 1. It is important to understand the meaning of the three terms in bold to start this chapter.
