DNALC Live: DNALC Short: Why Do Cells Have Different Shapes?
When:12:00 pm - 12:15 pm
Summary:
All living things are made of cells, and the human body is composed of trillions of cells. Join DNALC instructor Brittany for this DNALC Short as she explores why cells have different structures and the relationship between structure and function.
You are the product of billions of years of evolutionary change! Join anthropologist Lindsay Barone to explore the hominins one-by-one in the DNALC Live series Species Shorts.
- DNALC Live: DNALC Short: Plant and Animal Cells, DNALC Live: DNA Barcoding Part III: DNA Sequencing and Species Identification, DNALC Live: DNALC Live Biology Teacher’s Lounge
DNALC Live: DNALC Short: Plant and Animal Cells
DNALC Live: DNALC Short: Plant and Animal Cells
When:11:00 am - 11:15 am
Summary:
You are an animal. That wasn't an insult but a true fact! Do you know the differences between plant and animal cells? What about the similarities? Tune in to watch Mike explain these topics.
DNALC Live: DNA Barcoding Part III: DNA Sequencing and Species Identification
DNALC Live: DNA Barcoding Part III: DNA Sequencing and Species Identification
When:1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Summary:
DNA barcoding allows for the identification of an organism through analysis of a short region of DNA within its genome, similar to how the pattern of bars in a universal product code (UPC) identifies each consumer product.
The DNALC Live “Biology Teacher’s Lounge” is a town hall-style event to connect middle and high school teachers with DNALC educators to share experiences, concerns, and ideas for making the best of this difficult situation.
- DNALC Live: DNALC Short: Intro to the Mighty Mitochondria, DNALC Live: Species Shorts: Homo antecessor, DNALC Live: The True Cause of Sickle Cell Anemia
DNALC Live: DNALC Short: Intro to the Mighty Mitochondria
DNALC Live: DNALC Short: Intro to the Mighty Mitochondria
When:12:00 pm - 12:15 pm
Summary:
Energy keeps everything going, especially all living things! Join Elna Gottlieb in this DNALC Live Short as we explore the organelles that harness that energy, the mitochondria.
You are the product of billions of years of evolutionary change! Join anthropologist Lindsay Barone to explore the hominins one-by-one in the DNALC Live series Species Shorts.
Bioinformatics uses information technology, such as computers and computer programs, to study the information in DNA and proteins. In this activity, you will use these tools to understand the true cause of sickle cell anemia, a genetic disorder of the hemoglobin beta gene.
DNALC Live: Invertebrate Biology Series: Spiders, Part IV
DNALC Live: Invertebrate Biology Series: Spiders, Part IV
When:12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Summary:
Spiders are one of the most misunderstood of all invertebrates. Many would regard them as creepy or frightening, but a closer look reveals both great beauty and surprising intelligence.
The College Board has announced that this year’s AP® Biology Exam will consist only of Units 1 – 6. The DNALC seeks to help students with content from Units 5 and 6, which pertain to molecular biology and genetics.
- DNALC Live: DNALC Short: The Amazing Neuron! Part I, DNALC Live: DNALC Short: The Amazing Neuron and its Electrifying Action Potentials! Part II, DNALC Live: Species Shorts: Homo heidelbergensis, DNALC Live: Using a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) to Predict Bitter Taste Ability, Part I, Canceled Concert: Gerlach-Tetzloff Duo, cello and piano
DNALC Live: DNALC Short: The Amazing Neuron! Part I
DNALC Live: DNALC Short: The Amazing Neuron! Part I
When:12:00 pm - 12:15 pm
Summary:
Neurons are special cell types of animal nervous systems. Though they come in many shapes and sizes, they are some of the most interesting cells with unique structures that are closely linked to cellular function! Join DNALC educator Jeff Petracca for a brief discussion of neuron structure and how it allows these amazing cells to send messages throughout an animals' body.
DNALC Live: DNALC Short: The Amazing Neuron and its Electrifying Action Potentials! Part II
DNALC Live: DNALC Short: The Amazing Neuron and its Electrifying Action Potentials! Part II
When:12:30 pm - 12:45 pm
Summary:
Electrical messages are often propagated down a neuron's axon using an electrochemical phenomenon, known as an action potential. Join DNALC educator Jeff Petracca for an exploration of the how action potentials are actually generated by neurons and the electrochemical processes that allow neurons to rapidly transfer information from one cell to another.
You are the product of billions of years of evolutionary change! Join anthropologist Lindsay Barone to explore the hominins one-by-one in the DNALC Live series Species Shorts.
DNALC Live: Using a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) to Predict Bitter Taste Ability, Part I
DNALC Live: Using a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) to Predict Bitter Taste Ability, Part I
When:3:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Summary:
Phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) is a bitter substance that only certain people can taste. This three-part series will explore the genetics behind a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the taste receptor, TAS2R38, that affects an individual’s ability to taste PTC.
Canceled Concert: Gerlach-Tetzloff Duo, cello and piano
