The APsolute Recap: Biology Edition - Continuing Evolution
Episode 75
mercredi 24 mars 2021 • Duration 08:37
Evolution doesn’t have goals or dated deadlines, but simply responds to environmental change. Seen through continual changes in genotypic frequencies (1:09), the fossil record (2:01) and antibiotic resistance (4:26) - evolution isn’t about the destination, but the pathway of change.
The Question of the Day asks (7:45) N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide is an insect repellent developed by the US Army in 1946. What is it commonly known as?

The APsolute Recap: Biology Edition - Common Ancestry
Episode 74
mercredi 17 mars 2021 • Duration 08:13
Everything is connected and the evidence is overwhelming. You are in the Domain Eukarya, Kingdom animalia – but the common ancestor of all eukaryotes was the OG with membrane bound organelles (1:02), linear chromosomes (2:47) and genes that contain introns(4:51). Each piece of structural and process evidence on the molecular and cellular level supports the common ancestry of all eukaryotes.
The Question of the Day asks (7:25) Collectively, what is a stack of thylakoids called?

The APsolute Recap: Biology Edition - Phylogeny
Episode 73
mercredi 10 mars 2021 • Duration 07:40
Join Melanie on a 5K in episode 73. Phylogeny studies the evolutionary history amongst groups of organisms. It tells the story of relatedness, the branches in the road. (1:37). Be careful - just because two organisms are physically adjacent on a diagram, does not mean they are more closely related (4:05). The episode concludes with unit connections and exam tips (5:34).
The Question of the Day asks (6:50) Ernst Haeckel coined the phrase “ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny.” What is ontogeny?

The APsolute Recap: Biology Edition - Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
Episode 72
mercredi 3 mars 2021 • Duration 08:15
It is not practical to perform a Punnett square analysis on all possible combinations of all members of a population (1:24). Enter the Hardy-Weinberg equation! The Hardy-Weinberg equation is a tool biologists use not only to make predictions about a population but also to show whether or not the population is evolving. There are 5 conditions that must be met for this to be true. (2:14) Melanie break’s down the H-W equation variables and walks you through an example problem. (5:25)
The Question of the Day asks (7:25) What type of genetic drift occurs when a small group of individuals gets separated from a large population?

The APsolute Recap: Biology Edition - Origin of Life
Episode 71
mercredi 24 février 2021 • Duration 08:24
Search for signs of life in Episode 71. Do you know the primordial soup recipe? (1:05) Melanie recaps the when (1:46) and how (2:38) life may have begun. Scientists have gathered evidence and created models to describe their thinking (4:29).
The Question of the Day asks (7:35) T/F - The first organisms on earth were likely anerobic.

The APsolute Recap: Biology Edition - Helicase Unzips
Episode 70
mercredi 17 février 2021 • Duration 08:28
You have enough DNA in your body to stretch to the sun and back over sixty times. And your cells need to copy it all! Episode 70 recaps the primary enzymes in DNA replication: topoisomerase (3:53), helicase (4:24), DNA polymerase (5:11), and ligase (6:11).
The Question of the Day asks (7:36) When comparing pentose sugars, on which carbon does ribose have a hydroxyl group where deoxyribose does not?

The APsolute Recap: Biology Edition - Crafting a Gene
Episode 69
mercredi 10 février 2021 • Duration 09:20
Melanie gets poetic in Episode 69. Roses are red, violets are blue. If a promoter is blocked this may be untrue. Make sure to appropriately distinguish between genes and alleles (1:59). Gene expression occurs at many levels, all of which are essential in producing an organism’s phenotype (3:03). The episode concludes with a recap of the Lac Operon - everyone’s favorite bacterial gene expression example (6:17).
The Question of the Day asks (8:31) In the Lac Operon, is the promoter upstream or downstream from the operator?

The APsolute Recap: Biology Edition - Transcription vs. Replication
Episode 68
mercredi 3 février 2021 • Duration 10:57
Episode 68 explores how does the structure of DNA influence the process of replication and transcription. Beginning with cell cycle placement (1:20), Melanie then distinguishes between quantity of synthesis (2:21). Zoom in further to draw 5’ to 3’ on a nucleotide (3:12). Lastly, the episode contrasts enzymes, cell types and Chargaff’s rules (5:55).
The Question of the Day asks (10:10) Which nitrogenous bases are classified as purines?
