Diese Studienhilfe dient Ihrer Selbstkontrolle und damit der Vorbereitung auf Prufungen. Sie bietet Ihnen die Moglichkeit, sich mit den vielfaltigen Fragen in Ruhe zu Hause auseinanderzusetzen und Ihr Wissen eigenstandig zu uberprufen; oder Sie nutzen die Fragen als Anregungen, wenn Sie sich in Lerngruppen gegenseitig abfragen. Die 1000 Fragen sollen Ihnen helfen, sich in Genetik/Molekularbiologie, Biochemie, Zellbiologie und Mikrobiologie zu vertiefen, und sind nach den vier Fachgebieten geordnet.

Sie finden zu den wichtigsten Themen Multiple-Choice-Fragen mit in der Regel kurzen...

Are living organisms--as Descartes argued--just machines? Or is the nature of life such that it can never be fully explained by mechanistic models? In this thought-provoking and controversial book, eminent geophysicist Walter M. Elsasser argues that the behavior of living organisms cannot be reduced to physico-chemical causality. Suggesting that molecular biology today is at the same point as Newtonian physics on the eve of the quantum revolution, Elsasser lays the foundation for a theoretical biology that points the way toward a natural philosophy of organic life.

For humankind, the most irreducible idea is the concept of life itself. In order to understand that life is essentially an infinite process, transmitted from generation to generation, this book takes the reader on a fascinating journey that unravels one of our greatest mysteries. 

It begins with the premise that life is a fact—that it is everywhere; that it takes infinite forms; and, most importantly, that it is intrinsically self-perpetuating. Rather than exploring how the first living forms emerged in our universe, the book begins with our first primordial ancestor cell...

A Camelot of the Biomedical Sciences
The Story of the Roche Institute of Molecular Biology

The history of science began with wonder. Its foundation was endless curiosity about the world and people brave enough to ask, what if? How? And why? It began in rudimentary laboratories set up by wealthy men in basements and emptied rooms. The British Royal Academy gave it a formal experimental structure. And for almost two centuries it was the exclusive domain of those wealthy and educated people able to find the time and resources to conduct their experiments. To satisfy their own...
