Ultrafiltration begins in the nephron in the kidney. Blood travels through a coiled structure of capillaries called the glomerulus surrounded by the Bowman's capsule. The hydrostatic pressure of the flow...

It explains the flow of information in biological systems, especially in eukaryotes. It can be simplified to "DNA makes RNA makes protein". This explains how DNA, which is passed down the genera...
