Biology 101 was one of the most interesting, educative and widely applicable course through diverse ways as it directly links living and non-living organisms. Basic principles that link all levels of living organisms, that is, atoms, molecules, organisms, organelles, cells, tissues, organ, organ system, organisms, population, and community are broadly explained in the subject. The course further includes the cell-structures, cell functions, the transfer of energy, reproduction, diversity of living things, evolution, genetics as well as ecology among other key topics.
One of the most essential topics that struck me throughout the course was unit three, chapter nine and ten on Molecular Biology and Genetics as also Biotechnology. Chapter nine describes the DNA structure, the process of DNA replication, DNA transcription, and gene regulation process. What fascinates me most is the DNA double helix and its nucleotide base pairing as well as messenger RNA (mRNA) that is used in protein synthesis. My passion for molecular work is thrilled all along the two topics and particularly in the art of DNA replication, base pairing and DNA repair mechanisms.

Also, the process of DNA transcription, especially on The Central Dogma Theory inspired me to read more and research on how I can apply the knowledge in healthcare for human benefit especially in medicine. Further, the process of Translation that follows a step-by-step protein synthesis that involves ribosomes and also genetic coding and determines the type of protein to be synthesized is of great value to me as a biology student. The next very essential topic is on biotechnology which applies the knowledge gained in the previous chapter on molecular biology. In biotechnology, I get an opportunity to think critically and apply my knowledge in genetic engineering as well as cloning, application of molecular work in medical fields and in agriculture and finally in genomics as well as proteomics.
