Physics, chemistry and biology. All
three are distinguished as distinct branches
of science, each with their own courses and even entire
degrees! But in reality,
how distinct are these branches of science? The answer is that
they are
inextricably bound to one another and what most people think
of as
biology, such as DNA, is not just biology but a glorious
combination
of biology that is derived from chemistry that is based on
physics!
To learn more about DNA and the physics behind it, explore
this
website, stopping first at the
basics to get some background
information about DNA, and then learn how physics is
involved by going to the
physics. Another interesting
aspect of DNA is how it replicates. Learn about it in
an intro to
replication, and follow up with some
physics facts in the physics of
replication. To
check the facts, go to the bibliography. Have
fun learning!
