Biology Midterm Analysis

Decent Essays
--Last night, I had a dream in which I was taking a Biology midterm exam. For some reason, I did not begin studying for the exam until about five minutes before it was scheduled to start. After the exam was handed to me, I glanced at the questions and I was unprepared to answer any of them. I became very frightened, but, I remembered I could drop my lowest test score of the semester. So, I erased all of my answers and turned the test in. When I was leaving the testing room, I became anxious again, worrying that I had misread the policy about dropping exam scores. I thought my semester, GPA, and job opportunities had been ruined. At that moment, I woke up and I was thankful. No one enjoys failing an exam, but why did I have a dream about it?

    Purpose and Background Cells divide in two ways, mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is used to produce cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell for growth, asexual reproduction, or repair after injury. Cells that are produced by mitosis are diploid, meaning that they have two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. Meiosis is used to produce haploid cells that have only one set of chromosomes, a mix of chromosomes from both parents. Meiosis produces cells that are genetically unique from their parent cells.…

    The purpose of this lab is to examine cross sections from the leaves of C3 and C4 plants and to determine the morphological differences between them while relating those differences to their metabolism. In C3 plants the carbon dioxide is first incorporated into a 3-carbon compound. Their stomata are open during the day and photosynthesis takes place throughout the mesophyll cells. In comparison C4 plants, the CO2 is first incorporated into a 4-carbon compound. Their stomata are open during the day and photosynthesis takes place within the inner cells.…

    4.0Chapter four Discussion: 4.1 Point Counts By restraining the recording of species to a 10- 50m fixed radius when in dense forest at kamwala 1 forest, it allows the subtraction the certain bias, such as, the highly vocal forest species; White bellied Go Away bird and Tropical Bulbul, as well as those species which ‘generally’ occur above the canopy (for example; forest raptors). The most widespread species to occur across all the count areas (map 1) were Common Bulbul, Orange ground thrush and JoyfulGreenbul as well Red bellied paradise flycatcher, but orange ground thrush havens highly distributed in kamwala forest reserve. Although this is ecologically indicative of Rüppell's Robin-Chat, a forest edge species, it is unusual for Dusky Flycatcher which is usually found throughout forest stratum where it occurs 4 .2Birds abundance and diversity…

    BIOL 1010 ASSIGNMENT 1 OCT 6 BY JORDAN KAPITANY ST 100883963 Among the many scientific achievements of the twentieth century in the field of bio-technology scientists Paul Berg, Herbert W Boyer, Stanley N Cohen and team for their research that lead the party to discover a technique of taking genes from one organism and inserting them into another organism, also more formally known as Deoxyribonucleic Acid or DNA recombinant technology. In 1971 Berg and team successfully isolated DNA of virus found in monkey's known as lambda then placed the genetic material into DNA sequence of a different simian virus called SV4O. This was done by first using a DNA enzyme, a naturally occurring molecule that has the unique chemicals properties to sever the bonds in the DNA sequence, from a very specific kind of…

    1. Explain how cells specialize to form specific tissue and organs. Cells specialize to form specific tissue and organs by stem cells being able to develop into every type of cell in the body and eventually recreate a person’s tissues. With organs, after you gather the cells which can be from the patient’s own organs you have to go towards how they grow and specialise. The cells need to be put in the right environment, and exposed to the forces that they would normally experience in the body.…

    Authors of text 1 and 2 employ the technique of intertextuality of the film Gattaca by Andrew Niccol to support their claims. Savulescu uses the intertextuality to emphasise his perspective on “gifted genes” as “genetic inequality,” “gifted children” and “biology [determining] ability” are all problems that arose within the film Gattaca as genetic engineering became present within the dystopian world. Savulescu’s exploration of these problems highlight how “genetic analysis of embryos” could be used to “identify children [more] likely to succeed academically” indicating that these children could be “hot-housed” while other children were put in “slow streams” and “denied entry into certain jobs.” Conversely, Ford structures her article to build her perspective off of…

    During my junior year I experienced failure. I had taken 3 AP classes and I was in cheer at my high school, and trying to figure out a balance between the two was difficult for me because it seemed like cheer took up a lot of my time and in the past other two years it had, but I had managed to still do well in my honors and AP classes. My junior year was another story, I struggled a lot at the beginning of the school year, and most of first semester was spent with me having an F sometimes more than one, and that was a failure to me because I had my heart set on going to a four college or university and I knew that if i had an F i wouldnt qualify.…

    I will have to take extra time on homework to still have enough sleep. One of the dreams I had last week started off like I was in this strange unknown neighborhood it was so silent almost like as if everyone was dead , it was during the evening, the pinkish orange puffy clouds setting above the mountains as the sun slowly hides away and this little blond boy with a blue and white stripped shirt and blue shorts and he had no shoes on,the little boy looked pale, sick he had black in the white part of his eyes and the corners of his mouth were green with bumps all around, I cringed at the sight of his face. Then he told me to follow him inside this weirdly shaped house, gently tugging me across the street. As I opened the metal screen door and looked in front of me to see if the blond boy was still there but he wasn’t, he disappeared in thin air. As I walked in the house, it had a strange yet addicting scent, it was hard to see of how dark it was inside but there was a little shine of light peeking through a curtain.…

    Sigmund Freud proposed that the dreams we have show what we want to feel but are too afraid to admit. He used the terms ‘manifest content’ and ‘latent content’. Manifest content can be defined as the remembered story line of the dream. For example, if you had a dream about going to a casino and gambling. The manifest content is remembering that you lost at the table or the machines.…

    Vocation is a calling in life, a purpose to what you’re meant to do in life. I believe that vocation can consist of many different experiences that form your calling in life. For me, there has never been just one experience that has formed my vocation. My vocation always continues to expand with all the different experiences I’ve gone through my life so far; I bet that as the years go by and I get older, my vocation will keep growing. I see that the purpose of having a vocation is to be happy, to expand the way you see people and the world.…
