Automobile repair shop

to be a punishment. I walked in the house my head face to the ground. I didn't want to look at my mother’s face because i knew she was probably very upset with me on what just happened outside. My mother looked at me and said “Naomi i am not mad at you, but why were you two fighting for?” And i replied “ He threw the ball in my face mom.” My mother looked and said “ You should have came inside and told me and i would have taken care of it” I nodded and i gave her a hug and kiss and went off to my room and went to sleep nerves too see what would happen the next day. The next day came around and I woke up too my mother saying “ Get up we are going to the car repair shop to see how much it will be to fix the neighbors car.” I got up and got dressed in some relaxing clothes. We got in the car and drove to the nearest repair shop. I looked at Brendan and he gave me a dirty look i knew he was very upset with me. We walked in and Laurie had already asked how much will it be to fix and he said “ With how it looks it will cost $650 to fix.” My mother looked and said “ I’ll help pitch in some money” and Laurie said “ Thanks Etta that means a lot” .…

Epigenetics in my life Michel Martinez Morales Miami Dade College Epigenetics In 1939, Waddington created a new word; epigenetics, as the link between two disciplines: developmental biology and genetics. Epigenetic studies how genes switch on and off during the development of the human being and through the lifespan, how gene activities segregate during cell division and how our progeny can inherit the consequences of our lifestyle (Holliday, 2006). To explain the concept of epigenetics, I…

Forced to rack their brains with difficult decisions concerning contracting costs, materials and available abilities. Naturally, hidden somewhere within these hyperactive brain waves caught in decision limbo, the question always arises, "Maybe I can do it myself?" Maybe indeed, unfortunately, the overwhelming fiction that surrounds many home repair jobs often quickly plunge the owner into blatant fear, running for the yellow pages and overpaying the lucky contractor whose company name is…

Progeria is a progressive genetic disorder that causes premature aging. It is extremely rare, as only one in four million newborns, will have it worldwide. Progeria is also call Hutchinson-Gilford Disease, after Dr. Jonathan Hutchinson, who described the disease first in 1886, and Dr. Hastings Gilford, who did the same thing in 1904. In 2003, Researchers from The National Human Genome Research Institute, The Progeria Research Foundation, The New York State Institution for Basic Research in…

Mutation in the silencing gene SIR4 can delay aging in S. cerevisiae Gene mutations that affect silencing at HM loci, telomeres and other regions of the chromosome have been shown to relate to stress resistance and aging in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. S. cerevisiae is a species of yeast in which goes through asymmetrical cellular division. Its lifespan is measured by the number of cellular divisions the mother cell is able to complete before death. In the research study by Kennedy et al, the…

The genetic disorder known as Cystic Fibrosis affects about 30,000 people in the us and about 70,000 in the world. The disorder can cause people to have many problems such as difficulty breathing, difficulty digesting food, and many other problems with the lung, pancreas, and many other parts in your body. The disease is caused by a defective gene called the CFTR gene. These genes code to produce CFTR proteins which are used to transport water and particles into or out of cells. This helps…

Writing Assignment 1: Description of Unknown Mutant Allele Phenotype Subtle differences were observed after comparing all body parts of mutant and a wild type D. Melanogaster. It was discovered that normal venation pattern was disrupted in mutant D. Melanogaster. The phenotype mutation (vein pattern) of D. Melanogaster was identified with a different degree of expressivity in mutant D. Melanogaster; this was achieved by differentiating the single line (longitudinal vein 5) on a wild-type wing…

The identification of genes causing non-syndromic hearing impairment (ARNSHL) [http://dnalab-www.uia.ac.be/dnalab/hhh/] has partially resolved the puzzle of clinical and genetic heterogeneity of deafness (1). Among these genes the gene with the most significant impact on the population genetics and genetic counselling is the GJB2 (connexin-26) gene with the mutation c.35delG that accounts for the majority of mutations in deaf Caucasians (2, 3). Studies published so far have reported the…

Prader-Willi syndrome is a genomic imprinting disorder caused by the failure to express SNRPN (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein-associated polypeptide N) gene product. SNRPN is expressed only on the paternal chromosome 15q11-q13, however, the exact genes responsible for Prader-Willi syndrome haven't been identified. People normally inherit one copy of chromosome 15 from each parent. Some genes are active only on the copy that is inherited from a person's father, the paternal copy. Genomic…

Cornelia de Lange Syndrome Introduction Cornelia de Lange Syndrome is rare genetic disease it can affect multisystem disorder that has very serve intellectual disability starting at the time of 2nd trimester. The syndrome is often refer as also Brachmann de Lange syndrome or de Lange syndrome. Its most obvious symptoms are facial features such as body hair (hirsutism) with eyebrows that are arched and meet in midline (synophrys). This paper is inform the more detail about Cornelia de Lange…
