The Circadian Clock in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. What Is It For? What Is It Similar To?

The circadian clock in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. What is it for? What is it similar to?

The physiology of the circadian (daily) clock has been well studied in the unicellular eukaryote Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Circadian rhythms of phototaxis, chemotaxis, cell division, UV sensitivity, and adherence to glass have been characterized in this green alga. Circadian phototaxis was even shown to operate in outer space! The related phenomenon of photoperiodic time measurement of germina...

Understanding Heritability: What it is and What it is Not

Copy Abstract: Commentators generally found our exposition of the concept of heritability helpful for psychologists, suggesting that we largely accomplished our primary goal. Many provided supplemental and helpful perspectives on concepts we addressed. A few of the comments indicated that we may not have been completely successful in making clear our secondary goal, which was to outline how her...
