Lecture 1

• LIFE
• the state of a material complex or individual
  characterized
• by the capacity to perform certain functional
  activities,
• including
• metabolism,
• growth,
• reproduction,
• some form of responsiveness,
• adaptation.
• Life is further characterized by the presence of
  complex transformations of organic molecules and
  by the organization of such molecules into the
  successively larger units of protoplasm, cells,
  organs, and organisms.

Lecture 1
IN A UNIVERSE THAT IS DOMINATED BY INCREASING
ENTROPY, LIVING ORGANISMS ARE A CURIOUS
ANOMALITY. THE ORGANISATION THAT DISTINGUISHES
LIVING ORGANISMS FROM THEIR INNATE SURROUNDINGS
RELIES UPON THEIR ABILITY TO EXECUTE VECTORIAL
PROCESSES, SUCH AS DIRECTED MOVEMENTS AND THE
ASSEMBLY OF MACROMOLECULES AND ORGANELLE

21
Lecture 1
Principles of Studies in Biology
The Scientific Method

• Hypothesis
• Assumption, that can be tested by further
  investigations
• Hypothesis tray to explain, provide knowledge,
  it is not a simple registration of the fact
• Hypothesis are rooted in the theory or in the
  experience
• Hypothesis should be versatile
• Hypothesis should be assessable
• Hypothesis can be rejected but never affirmed to
  completeness
• Deduction generation of hypothesis on the basis
  of theory

22
Lecture 1
Principles of Studies in Biology
Scientific Method
Theory Classified knowledge which is
attributable under various circumstances, also
the system of assumptions, principles and methods
of analysis produced to explain and predict
definite phenomena or processes. Theory is
formed by Induction - systematisation of facts,
conclusions, observations Theory is
characterised by its Force of deduction -
capability to create testable hypothesis
Nothing is as practical as a good theory

Lecture 1

Methods of Assessment

• Experiment
• action which is performed under controlled
  conditions to prove the correctnes of the
  assumption or to test the impact of the studied
  factor
• Simplification
• Invasive
• Controls (/-)
• Universal (independence of the place where it is
  performed)

25
Lecture 1
Principles of Studies in Biology
Methods of Assessment

• Observation
• Formalised description of the object or
  phenomenon
• Complex
• Non-invasive
• Camparable versions (differences in context)
• Unique (dependent on the place where it is
  performed )

26
Lecture 1
The Principles of Studies in Biology
Methodological Approaches
Reductionism a view that asserts that entities
of a given kind are collections or combinations
of entities of a simpler or more basic kind or
that expressions denoting such entities are
definable in terms of expressions denoting the
more basic entities. Thus, the ideas that
physical bodies are collections of atoms or that
thoughts are combinations of sense impressions
are forms of reductionism
27
Lecture 1
The Principles of Studies in Biology
Methodological Approaches
Holism the theory that the determining factors
in biology are its irreducible wholes.
Emergent properties at each successive level of
organization, qualities emerge that cannot be
anticipated by the components and that confer an
added dimension to each hierarchical level in the
biological world.
28
Lecture 1
The Principles of Studies in Biology
Didactic Approaches
Factology Acquisition and memorisation of the
specific data which characterise the given object
or system.
Conceptualism Development of understanding about
the structural, functional and regulatory
principles of the given object or system.
29
Lecture 1
The Principles of Studies in Biology
Didactic Approaches
Overlapping New knowledge is gained on the basis
of the existing one, before the development of
the thesaurus its contents should be actualised.
Evolution Consequtive acquisition of the theories
and skills, movmet from the non-complicated to
complex, from general to peculiar and furthen on
to synthesis.

Lecture 1
The principles of Classification in Biology
The Development of the Classification
Approximates the History of Biology
Taxonomy (Classification in Biology,
Systematics) the branch of Biology considering
the phylogeny of living and extinct species.
Greek taxis (arrangement) and nomos (law).
Taxonomy deals with the establishment of a
hierarchical system of categories on the basis
of presumed natural relationships among
organisms.
Natural taxonomy Artificial taxonomy

Lecture 1
The principles of Classification in Biology
CLADISTIC TAXONOMY
Clade (angl.) group formed by a common ancestor
and its offspring. Existing organisms are thought
as the end-points of branches. The structure of
branching is determined by pattern of commonly
acquired features (sinapomorphies) The
principles of parsimony (economy) and consensus
(agreement) Plesiomorphic (ancient) un
apomorphic (new) traits
47
Lecture 1
The principles of Classification in Biology
MOLECULAR TAXONOMY
molecular taxonomy deals with structures of
genomes (DNA) or with the products of genome
expression - RNA or protein.
DNA analysis sequencing, hybridisation,
restriction fragment comparison.
Sequencing of the ribosomal RNA.
Analysis of the primary structure of proteins.
48
Lecture 1
The principles of Classification in Biology
The hypothesis of the molecular clock assumes
that the changes in the biomolecules accumulate
slowly, but with a constant speed. If the speed
is constant, then the number of differences in
two analogous molecules in different organisms is
proportional to the time which has elapsed since
these organisms have had a common ancestor. The
changes in the structure of molecules record the
process of evolution.
49
Lecture 1
The principles of Classification in Biology
EVOLUTIONARY TAXONOMY
Darwin On the Origin of Species
classification will become genealogy
Uses and combines several approaches to obtain
the classification which corresponds to the
natural history of the organisms and maximise the
mutual similarity of the organisms included into
one taxonomic category. Classification takes
place through iterative grouping and regrouping
of organisms according to various analytical
approaches and the paleontologic record.
Convergence, analogy and homology of traits.
