BIO 1020 (BIOL1020)

These notes cover everything in Module 1 of Principles of Biology. Chapter 1 starts out with the basics of biology, the features of all living organisms, biological organization, and the classification of biological diversity. Chapter 2 covers the chemical context of life, which includes matter, elements, atoms, ions, isotopes, chemical bonds, energy, and radioactivity. Chapter 3 dives deeper into water and how vital it is to life on earth, including its four emergent properties, concentration a...

This set of notes details everything in Chapters 12-17, or Module 3, of Biology 1020. Chapter 12 starts out with the cell cycle and critical aspects of cell division. The phases of the cell cycle, including mitosis, are explained with descriptions and diagrams. Chapter 13 continues with meiosis and sexual versus asexual reproduction. It also introduces chromosomes and genes and how they contribute to life. Chapter 14 goes deeper into genes and covers all of what Gregor Mendel discovered about ge...

Chapter 14 explores Mendel's groundbreaking experiments with garden peas, which revealed key principles of heredity. Mendel's work debunked the "blending" hypothesis, proposing instead the "particulate" hypothesis, where genes exist as discrete units. He meticulously studied pea plant traits, defining characters (features) and traits (variants). Through controlled hybridization, Mendel observed the Law of Segregation: alleles segregate during gamete formation, leading to dominant and reces...

Chapter 13: Meiosis and Sexual Life Cycles describes the sexual reproduction cell cycle. Goes through the stages of meiosis and the reduction of meiosis. Notes crossing over and the law of independent assortment.

Chapter 12 Notes: Cell Cycle from Auburn University (BIOL 1020-001), describing the cell cycle, meiosis, and mitosis, along with the presence of cancer cells in the human body.

These notes cover everything in Module 2 (Chapters 6-10) of BIOL1020 in depth with descriptions and diagrams. Chapter 6 starts with cells and covers prokaryotes, eukaryotes, all of the organelles, and different types of microscopy that is used to view cells. There is especially thorough information on each of the organelles and their structure and function. Chapter 7 goes in depth on the structure and function of membranes and membrane proteins. It also covers the different types of transport, p...
