Content Introduction Sex-Chromosome Systems Sex-Chromosome Evolution Sex-Chromosome Organization Molecular evolution Conclusions Introduction Sexual reproduction is common in multicellular organisms This includes fusion of gametes (isogamy vs anisogamy) from two individuals Anisogamy can give rise to separate sexes (males and females) The sex can be determined by environment or genetic factors Sex chromosomes have evolved independently several times in different linages SEX-CHROMOSOME SYSTEMS: Sex chromosomes from related Sex chromosomes from related linages are not necessarily linages are not necessarily homologous homologous ...
NEW CURRICULUM Focus on 4 Big Ideas in Biology 1. The process of evolution drives the diversity and unity of life 2. Biological Systems utilize free energy and molecular building blocks to grow, to reproduce, and to maintain dynamic homeostasis 3. Living systems store, retrieve, transmit and respond to information essential to life processes 4. Biological systems interact, and these systems and their interactions possess complex properties NEW CURRICULUM Focus on 7 science practices 1. The student can use representations ...
‘Biology’ as a discipline • Official date of birth 1802 (Lamarck, Treviranus) • But used in earlier decades • And there are competitor terms for a science of life (including ‘natural history’ used in a broad sense) – they reflect a ‘practice’ and the need for a ‘theory’ (unification) • And such terms persist will after 1802 (zoonomy, as in Erasmus Darwin; biogeography, etc.) Philosophy of biology vs Biological philosophy • Auguste Comte: “biological ...
