Meiosis
|
There's only one, two, three and over here one, two, three.
|
Meiosis
|
So we technically have haploid cells.
|
Meiosis
|
They have one of each kind of chromosome.
|
Meiosis
|
Like look at this one with the two lines at the top.
|
Meiosis
|
They have one of each kind.
|
Meiosis
|
So why do we need to divide again?
|
Meiosis
|
Why do we need meiosis number two?
|
Meiosis
|
Well, because these chromosomes are duplicated.
|
Meiosis
|
Because these chromosomes still have twice as much DNA.
|
Meiosis
|
So even though they're haploid with only three chromosomes in each cell, they have their
sister chromatids attached.
|
Meiosis
|
So we need to divide again and go through a second round of division.
|
Meiosis
|
So I'm not really showing prophase two.
|
Meiosis
|
Basically it's the same like the nuclear envelope breaks down.
|
Meiosis
|
And then we move into metaphase two where the chromosomes are going to move to the middle
of the cell.
|
Meiosis
|
So basically up here we're looking at meiosis two.
|
Meiosis
|
This part is very similar to mitosis.
|
Meiosis
|
You'll see here the sister chromatids and anaphase two get pulled apart to opposite sides
of the cell.
|
Meiosis
|
And then you're going to have your telephase two and cytokinesis where we end up with four
genetically different haploid cells.
|
Meiosis
|
So remember we started with 2N equals six.
|
Meiosis
|
And now look, each of these cells have three.
|
Meiosis
|
And if you really look at them, they're all different.
|
Meiosis
|
We get four genetically different haploid cells at the end.
|
Meiosis
|
And the reason they're different is because of that crossing over, creating recombinant
chromosomes, but also the way the homologous pairs lined up in the middle of the cell.
|
Meiosis
|
So for example, here let me write on this.
|
Meiosis
|
So if I had like here one option and then maybe like the homologous pairs, but very
easily couldn't have been where maybe like all of the purple ones are on the left.
|
Meiosis
|
And then some of them, all of these, like that would create different combinations of
chromosomes in the gametes.
|
Meiosis
|
So that independent assortment is another source of variation.
|
Meiosis
|
Now in males, the next step would be to add tails and make the cells into sperm.
|
Meiosis
|
It goes through spermatogenesis.
|
Meiosis
|
Now in females though, you might be thinking, or maybe you're not, but in general for human
females, we go through meiosis once a month to produce an egg.
|
Meiosis
|
But you just learned that in meiosis, we make four cells, four gametes at the end of meiosis.
|
Meiosis
|
However, when a female gets pregnant, she doesn't have quadruplets every time.
|
Meiosis
|
And that's because in human females during the meiosis process, one of the cells, like
the cytoplasm doesn't divide equally.
|
Meiosis
|
And basically one of the cells hogs all of the cytoplasm and we're left with one egg
or one ovum and three polar bodies.
|
Meiosis
|
And the three polar bodies will actually disintegrate and the parts will get reused.
|
Meiosis
|
So we get one egg at the end of meiosis and three polar bodies.
|
Meiosis
|
So this is just a visual to kind of show that unequal division of the cytoplasm to make
that one mature egg.
|
Meiosis
|
All right.
|
Meiosis
|
I think that's the end of my discussion on meiosis.
|
Meiosis
|
So great job.

Chapter 45 Hormones and the Endocrine System
|
Alright, so chapter 45 is all about the endocrine system and hormones.
|
Chapter 45 Hormones and the Endocrine System
|
Hormones,
we've talked about previously, they act as your long-distance regulators, the
chemical signals that are secreted into your circulatory
system and are able to send out messages throughout the body.
|
Chapter 45 Hormones and the Endocrine System
|
They are
able to reach all parts of the body through your body fluids, but they can
only actually interact with cells, the target cells that have receptors for
them.
|
Chapter 45 Hormones and the Endocrine System
|
There are two systems that are able to coordinate communication
throughout your body, your endocrine system and your nervous system.
|
Chapter 45 Hormones and the Endocrine System
|
The endocrine
system, the hormones are able to go out throughout the whole body, they're more
longer-acting responses, they take a little longer to get going, they impact
such processes as reproduction, development, metabolism, growth, behavior,
while the nervous system uses high-speed electrical signals along neurons which
are able to regulate specific cells.
|
Chapter 45 Hormones and the Endocrine System
|
So endocrine signaling is one way information is transmitted.

Primary vs Secondary Succesion (AP Bio Topic 8.5 Community Ecology Part 4)
|
Okay, so in this video I will compare and contrast primary and secondary succession.
|
Primary vs Secondary Succesion (AP Bio Topic 8.5 Community Ecology Part 4)
|
It's really from my EP bio class.
|
Primary vs Secondary Succesion (AP Bio Topic 8.5 Community Ecology Part 4)
|
It's my final video in community ecology, but if you're just watching this to learn
about succession, it should work for you as well.
|
Primary vs Secondary Succesion (AP Bio Topic 8.5 Community Ecology Part 4)
|
So in general, ecological succession is basically like the changing or formation of an ecosystem.
|
Primary vs Secondary Succesion (AP Bio Topic 8.5 Community Ecology Part 4)
|
And we're going to look at primary succession first, and primary succession starts out on
bare rock.
|
Primary vs Secondary Succesion (AP Bio Topic 8.5 Community Ecology Part 4)
|
So I took this picture in Volcanoes National Park in Hawaii last year.
|
Primary vs Secondary Succesion (AP Bio Topic 8.5 Community Ecology Part 4)
|
So here is some like, like an active volcano, right?
|
Primary vs Secondary Succesion (AP Bio Topic 8.5 Community Ecology Part 4)
|
So about, I don't know how far, 10 minutes, 15 minute drive from this location, here's
the crater of a different volcano, and my family, we walked across it.
|
Primary vs Secondary Succesion (AP Bio Topic 8.5 Community Ecology Part 4)
|
So really when we look at primary succession, it starts out like, how do we start with a
brand new volcanic island and then eventually end up with biodiversity?
|
Primary vs Secondary Succesion (AP Bio Topic 8.5 Community Ecology Part 4)
|
Like what are the changes that happen in the plant, in animal communities in that region
over the hundreds or thousands of years?
|
Primary vs Secondary Succesion (AP Bio Topic 8.5 Community Ecology Part 4)
|
So here's also a picture of Craters of the Moon National Monument in Idaho.
|
Primary vs Secondary Succesion (AP Bio Topic 8.5 Community Ecology Part 4)
|
Yeah, Idaho.
|
Primary vs Secondary Succesion (AP Bio Topic 8.5 Community Ecology Part 4)
|
And you can see like this is lava rock, but you can see that there's small amounts of
plants beginning to grow on it.
|
Primary vs Secondary Succesion (AP Bio Topic 8.5 Community Ecology Part 4)
|
So in succession, we're going to start with a discussion of how do you start on bare rock
and then end up with a whole forest of biodiversity.
|
Primary vs Secondary Succesion (AP Bio Topic 8.5 Community Ecology Part 4)
|
So oh, one last example is the Galapagos Islands.
|
Primary vs Secondary Succesion (AP Bio Topic 8.5 Community Ecology Part 4)
|
So the Galapagos Islands are volcanic islands, and you can see from this aerial map, the
Valdez are like the peaks of the volcanoes that are now underwater.
|
Primary vs Secondary Succesion (AP Bio Topic 8.5 Community Ecology Part 4)
|
But the Galapagos are volcanic rock, and like here is a picture I took from like a cliff
top when I was in Galapagos in 2018, and you can see there's plants and life on these islands,
enough to support wildlife.
|
Primary vs Secondary Succesion (AP Bio Topic 8.5 Community Ecology Part 4)

Here I am with one of the...

Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
Alright, so today we're talking about gene expression.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
Now one really interesting thing in biology is that all the cells from the same organism
contain the same genome, the same bulk of DNA.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
However, they're not going to transcribe all of it to create proteins for every single
one of the genes.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
In fact, in any one of our cells we may only be expressing 10,000 genes of the 20 or so
thousand that we actually have.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
Now part of this is because of differentiation.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
In all of our cells, so for example think of a liver cell and then think of a neuron
and then think of a white blood cell.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
All these are extremely different in shape and function, but they all have the same genome
even though they're totally different cells.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
So how does this come about?
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
It's basically all about how they are going to make and accumulate different RNA and proteins.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
So this is all part of gene expression in those different cells and how they're being
expressed differently.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
So what regulates that?
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
A lot of it's going to be on the actual level of initiating transcription.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
So we'll talk about that in a little bit.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
Some proteins though are going to be transcribed and produced in all cells.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
So some proteins are actually housekeeping proteins that are necessary no matter what
cell it is, such as RNA polymerase.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
You're pretty much going to need that one in all of your cells.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
However, there's a lot of proteins in RNA that are specialized and will only appear
in certain cells based on what the cell has to do or how it functions.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
All right, so moving on.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
Some of these things that will turn genes on and off are going to be extracellular cues,
meaning they're coming from outside of the cell.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
And a lot of cells that are different can respond differently to the same signal.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
So our fat cells and our liver cells respond differently based on this glucocorticoid hormone.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
Our liver cells, for example, will release glucose and now that they no longer need to
store it for later on.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
Now a lot of this regulation is going to be at the level of transcriptional control.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
So how we're controlling how transcription happens in the cell.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
Now these can be done through repressors that turn genes off or activators that turn genes
on and actually make them transcribe more.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
And a lot of this was discovered through experimentation with the bacteria E. coli.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
Now E. coli can be good or bad.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
There's E. coli that makes you sick and E. coli that lives in your gut.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
But what they did is they would do a lot of experiments with E. coli and exposing it to
different growth media and then seeing how the actual E. coli would have reacted.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
Now E. coli genes of course are prokaryotic genes because E. coli is bacteria.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
Bacteria are prokaryotes.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
And they have something special called operons.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
Now operons are a set of genes transcribed in a single mRNA.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
So they might be genes that are very close together and they'll all be transcribed at
once.
|
Lasseter AP Bio 20 Gene Expression
|
Now E. coli cells really don't have operons.
