Welcome to the wiki for BIOL 117!

The video of DNA replication we watched in class is here.

The video of transcription of an mRNA from a DNA template that we watched is here.

The video of translation we watched is here.

The video of protein folding based on the amino acid sequence of a particular polypeptide that we watched in class can be found here.

The video of the electron transport chain and the production of ATP can be found here.

There will be two review sessions for Exam 3. We'll be meeting on Monday and Tuesday right after class, in UPS.

Here's how the review sessions will work: You show up and ask questions about any material you're confused about or just want to go back over. When our review session attendees run out of questions, the review session will be over. Please note that I will not have a prepared review session lecture, or a study guide, or anything like that. Also, please be aware that I will not finish writing the exam until after both review sessions are over. Thus, the review sessions will give me a chance to see what topics you found most compelling, and the review sessions will give you a chance to specifically suggest topics you'd like to be asked about on the exam.


Tutoring hours!

J.P. has agreed to hang out in the library (second floor) to do Principles of Biology II tutoring every Monday and Wednesday night from 8:00 until 10:00 p.m. Go keep him busy!!

Also, J.P. is good a lab reports. He'd love to help you out with your second lab report & stuff.


Hello, BIOL 117 students!

On this wiki, students in Principles of Biology II at Morningside College can share notes, collaborate on research projects, peer-edit each others' papers, suggest possible exam questions, share study hints and interesting links, and much much more! Like earning a super-easy 5% of your grade in BIOL 117, as the case may be.

If this is your first experience with a wiki….

Then there are some things you need to know:

  • To make a new page, enter the name of your page in the "Add a new page" box at the bottom of the left-hand sidebar and hit enter. Then just enter text in the box that pops up, and click "save" when you're done.
  • Since this wiki is shared by students in more than one course, please title your new pages appropriately. For instance, if you're sharing your notes for the January 8 lecture, a good title for that page would be "January 8 Lecture Notes" or "Day 1 Notes: Nature of Science." Just titling that page as "Notes" or "January notes" would be too vague, as those titles could refer to lots of content.
  • After you've made a new page, be sure to tag it with the appropriate words to describe its content. Most pages will have more than one tag—for instance, the page with notes from the January 7 lab could be tagged with "labs," "Notes" and "First-Day," for instance.
  • Tag a page as containing particular content by clicking on the word "Tags" at the bottom of an existing page and type your tags in the box. Then click enter. Keep in mind that Wikidot counts separate words (with spaces between them) as separate tags, so if you want to tag content with a phrase, you'll need to have dashes between the words in the phrase, not spaces. (For instance, if you wanted to tag your research paper as being a research paper, the tag your would assign it is "research-papers" not "research papers".
  • To edit a page, go to the page and click the Edit button. You can change everything in the main area of your page. The Wikidot language is easy to learn but powerful.
  • You can attach images and other files to any page, then display them and link to them in the page.
  • Every Wikidot page has a history of edits, and you can undo anything. So feel secure, and experiment.
  • If you want to learn more about the Wikidot system, make sure you visit the Documentation section at www.wikidot.com
