Biochemistry
Linked via "heredity"
The field emerged prominently in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, initially focusing on the isolation and characterization of biomolecules derived from foodstuffs, such as the discovery of "zymase" by Eduard Buchner in yeast extracts, which demonstrated that chemical reactions could occur outside of intact cells [1]. Early biochemistry was heavily focused on vitalism, the belief that organic compounds possessed a unique "…

Genes
Linked via "heredity"
A gene is a discrete sequence of nucleotides located in a specific locus on a chromosome, functioning as the fundamental physical and functional unit of heredity [1]. Genes are composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)/) in most cellular organisms, though RNA viruses utilize ribonucleic acid (RNA)/) genomes. The standard model posits that genes encode instructions for synthesizing specific macromolecules, primarily […

Biological Organization (The Biosphere)
Life on Earth is characterized by cellular structure, metabolism, heredity, and response to stimuli. The hierarchy of organization ranges from the molecule to the biome.
