Information flow in cells Fig 5.26 Information flow in cells Protein

As organisms reproduce the DNA is passed on to the next generations. Fig 13.5 As organisms reproduce the DNA is passed on to the next generations.

Only a small percent of DNA codes for proteins Fig 21.7

DNA Composition: In humans: Each cell contains ~6 billion nucleotides of DNA. This DNA is ~2 meters long and 2 nm wide. ~98% does not directly code for amino acids In a single human cell only about 5-10% of genes are expressed at a time.

The length of DNA in each of your cells is longer than you are tall. Fig 6.2 Length of human DNA in each cell The length of DNA in each of your cells is longer than you are tall. Width of DNA Power of ten: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2cmlhfdxuY

DNA Composition: In humans: Each cell contains ~6 billion base pairs of DNA. This DNA is ~2 meters long and 2 nm wide. ~1.5% directly codes for amino acids ~25% is genes In a single human cell only about 5-10% of genes are expressed at a time.

fig 21.7 Genes are replicators (selfish gene)

Viruses infect living cells, take over, and produce more virus. fig 19.4 Viruses infect living cells, take over, and produce more virus.

Bodies are vessels for the transmission of genes

fig 21.8 Transposons

Transposons: mobile DNA fig 21.9 Genes are replicators (selfish gene) Transposons: mobile DNA

Retrotransposons: mobile and self-replicating DNA fig 21.9

Evolution: A species’ genetic component changes as the individuals reproduce. These changes are based on how the DNA changes and who reproduces.

Are genes the only replicators?

Memes: transmissible ideas Ideas can act similarly to genes Contain information Replicate with imperfect fidelity

Mutations

Memes: transmissible ideas Ideas can act similarly to genes or viruses Contain information Replicate with imperfect fidelity

Memes: transmissible ideas Ideas can act similarly to genes or viruses Contain information Replicate with imperfect fidelity Evolve: most successful replicators become most abundant

Contrasts between memes and genes Slow replication High copy fidelity Universal in organisms Memes Rapid replication Low copy fidelity Limited to some organisms Only humans can transmit complex memes?

Humans can pass on genes and/or memes

Selection of memes and genes can be at odds Evolution of memes and genes Selection of memes and genes can be at odds NvN chpt 8
