03:21Genome Size and the Evolution of New Genes
9.1K
While every living organism has a genome of some kind (be it RNA, or DNA), there is considerable variation in the sizes of these blueprints. One major factor that impacts genome size is whether the organism is prokaryotic or eukaryotic. In prokaryotes, the genome contains little to no non-coding sequence, such that genes are tightly clustered in groups or operons sequentially along the chromosome. Conversely, the genes in eukaryotes are punctuated by long stretches of non-coding sequence.

01:29Transformations of Functions I
200
A function's graph can be modified by changing its position or size without altering its overall shape. These transformations allow the graph to be moved across the coordinate plane while preserving its pattern and structure. One of the most common transformations is shifting, which repositions the graph without distorting it.When the output of a function is adjusted by adding or subtracting a constant, the graph shifts vertically. A positive value moves the graph upward, while a negative value...

Transformations in mathematics alter the position or orientation of a function’s graph while preserving its fundamental shape. One important type of transformation is the horizontal shift, which involves modifying the input variable within a function’s equation. This operation affects where outputs occur along the horizontal axis but does not alter the function’s overall structure.A horizontal shift is achieved by replacing the input variable x with either x + c or x - c,...

In 1928, bacteriologist Frederick Griffith worked on a vaccine for pneumonia, which is caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. Griffith studied two pneumonia strains in mice: one pathogenic and one non-pathogenic. Only the pathogenic strain killed host mice.
Griffith made an unexpected discovery when he killed the pathogenic strain and mixed its remains with the live, non-pathogenic strain. Not only did the mixture kill host mice, but it also contained living pathogenic bacteria that...

Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...
