Ideas for 2017
[edit]- Horizontal gene transfer - comparison of horizontal vs. generational vertical gene transfer
- Ecological succession - of a pond/lake filling with sediment and becoming land
- Dead zone (ecology) - causes
- Viroid - better diagram illustrating what a viroid is and its replication-infection cycle
- Chemosynthesis & chemoautotroph - summary schematic (see photosynthesis for example]])
- Salamander#Respiration - Lungless salamander vs. Lunged Salamander vs. Gilled salamander
- Camelid - make a cladogram for extant camels - use wikipedia's clade script (see the Elephantidae page for example and script template).
- Molecular clock - overview image showing how mutations in conserved regions accumulate slowly over time at a regular rate.
- Anoxygenic photosynthesis - summary schematic (see photosynthesis for example]])
- mucin - structural diagram of the molecule
- mucus - functions of mucus
- Receptor (biochemistry) - an animation / .gif showing a more accurate representation of how membrane receptors receive signals and convey them into the cytoplasm to their secondary messenger
- snRNP - what are they and what do they do
- Chitin vs. cellulose - comparison of how they are structured and derived from glucose. Use a color coded the haworth projection.
- Gel electrophoresis - a diagram illustrating that it sorts migrating fragments by size.
- Adenosine triphosphate & Adenosine diphosphate - Make a diagram of the ATP cycle i.e. ATP => ADOP + Pi => ATP and where the energy goes in and out to coupled reactions.
- Mutations - A quick guide to/table of mutations - including Frameshifts, SNPs, insertions, deletions, substitutions, etc.
- Mutations - a guide to mutations including silent (no change to AA), quiet (change of AA to one with similar properties, beneficial mutations (novel AA), harmful mutation (novel AA)
- Protein structure - a simple guide to the four levels of protein structure (there a nice interactive diagram, but it might be hard to understand for beginners)
