An introduction to core principles that underlie, all of biology, illustrated through, evidence-driven examples centered on interactions, among molecules and cells within organisms. We, will explore mechanisms of inheritance and, mutation fundamental to the evolution of life,, flow of information from DNA through proteins to, cellular and organismal function, the relationship, between structure and function at scales from, molecules to individuals, the transformations of, energy and matter through biochemical and, physiological pathways, and the dynamic systems, within and between cells.
