Decent Essays
It was a tragic evening, on the 4th of march, 1974, when a nine year old boy was dragged from his home to a basketball court to be ravished. The victim gave a description of his ravisher to be of 18-19 years of age, have a moustache and bushy side burns. During the photo line-up and physical line-up the victim picked out Jimmy Bain to be the offender. During the investigation it was found that the semen found on the victim's underwear did not match with Bain's blood group. The semen had a blood group B, whereas Mr. Bains's blood group is AB. Mr. Bain was still declared culpable as analysts found that Bain's blood group had an impotent A.

    Ken Ham states, “That’s called ‘natural selection’ or ‘adaptation.’ It’s not necessarily survival of the fittest; it’s survival of those that have the right characteristics to survive in that environment.” (P. 75) This statement does not really make sense because that is, in fact, exactly what survival of the fittest is. Ham often states the reasons why evolution is wrong but then backs up creation by simply saying that that’s just the way God made it.…

    In this case, the geneticist testified in front of a jury that the DNA evidence indicated “the probability of Garry Phillips being the father is greater than 99.99 percent, and the odds of Kathy being the mother are greater than 99.9 percent” (Gathings). However, testimonies vehemently claimed that Kathy was not pregnant in any reasonable time frame to give birth to that newborn and that her personal disposition did not correlate to that of a murderer. In the end, the jury decided that Kathy was not guilty. This is a rare example of a case in which the jury took into account the case holistically, and considered genetic evidence on equal grounds as other pieces of evidence. Extrapolating this example back to the current topic of ambiguous behavioral genetics, it is essential for juries sitting on these behavioral cases to consider their cases holistically as well.…

    Components Of Blood Blood is a specialized body fluid. It has five main components: plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Blood has many different functions, transporting oxygen and nutrients to the lungs and tissues, forming blood clots to prevent excess blood loss, carrying cells and antibodies that fight infection, bringing waste products to the kidneys and liver, which filter and clean the blood, and regulating body temperature. The blood that runs through the veins, arteries, and capillaries is known as whole blood, a mixture of about 55 percent plasma and 45 percent blood cells.…

Blood grouping has a clinical significance, for example; we need blood grouping in cases of transfusion to avoid incompatibility, which often leads to blood clumping and agglutination then eventually death of patients, not only that but they are also important in pregnancies in cases of maternal fetal incompatibility. Each blood type has its own advantage like its resistance to infectious diseases.…

    Forensic evidence has been originally used to find criminals and convict the authors of a crime. In the first criminal case in Germany using a blood test (the murder of Lucie Berlin in 1904), the main suspect had been convicted after one forensic expert testified that the blood found on an item belonged to a human (and not to an animal). A large study undertaken by Karl Peters investigated already in 1970 wrongful convictions in the Federal Republic of Germany. Since 1980 forensic sciences, especially DNA analysis accelerated the reopening of cases to acquit wrongfully convicted persons in post-conviction procedures. The term forensic science is discussed in light of presentations addressing the two sides – incriminating or exonerating - of…

    The Duffy and Kidd systems were also identified through the use of Coombs’ anti-globulin test (Giangrande, 2001). During the 20th century, the field of blood transfusions advanced tremendously, motivated by the onset of the First World War (Harding, 2014). The advancement occurred due to the new understanding of blood groups and the usage of an anticoagulant that enabled indirect transfusion to occur. Before the use of this anticoagulant, transfusion was only able to be carried out via the use of defibrinated blood as described by Moss…

    In humans, a single gene in the body determines blood type, whether it be A, B, AB, or O. This gene determines what type of antigen protein (if there is any in the first place) is attached to a red blood cell’s membrane. The gene is designated as I, and it has three common alleles, which include IA, IB, and i. Different combinations of these three alleles produce four different phenotypes, more commonly referred to as Blood Type A (homozygous IAIA or heterozygous IAi), Blood Type B (homozygous IBIB or heterozygous IBi), Blood Type AB (heterozygous IAIB), and Blood Type O (homozygous ii). The allele IA provides the presence of an A antigen on red blood cells, while the IB allele is responsible for the presence of the B antigen. Type AB blood has both A and…
