In this section of the course we will focus on some real biological basics, necessary as you go on in your biology major and important as we think about how we connect genes to traits. Chapter 5 focuses on questions like, What is DNA? How does it “make” or encode proteins to build and make bodies work? How is this hereditary material passed down from generation to generation? We also dive into some materials from beyond the text including the Evolution of Antibiotic Resistance, some readings on Twins and Epigenetics as well as the Evolution of Sex. You will notice we will spend more than two weeks on this chapter to make sure everyone has a good handle on this material!<\/p>\r\n
