I imagine that the experience of conditioning Apollo has been much like human parenting: exciting and equally frustrating. After 6 days, Apollo probably thinks he has been successfully training us instead. Since he is a younger rat, it was necessary for Apollo to be well socialized and used to interacting with us. He was not receptive at first, but very quickly after became used to us and his environment. One particular issue in the beginning was his insistence on squeaking when we made contact…

One current use of Genetic engineering is referred to in an article titled “Engineering the Perfect Baby” by Antonio Regalado. This article touches on multiple studies that are currently being studied in laboratories’ thought-out the world. The objective is to genetically engineer the perfect child using a new technology for editing DNA, called CRISPR-Cas9- or germ-line editing. One main topic covered in this article is that Scientists are currently working on cell editing, which could make it…

WHO FIRST DISCOVERED MITOSIS? Mitosis was first discovered in the early 1880s by Walter Flemming. Walter Fleeming was a German biologist. He developed most of his study on cells and the chromosomes that are inside of cells. In 1878, the claimed that cell duplicate in the process called mitosis. Flemming died on August 4th, 1905. HOW DID MITOSIS GET IT NAME? "Mito-" which mean "thread" in Greek. The process of cell division are described as threads because during the process of…

This article deals with gene therapy related issues. According to authors, gene therapy may substitute a defective gene sequence with its perfect version and thus, can cure severe diseases. The article is mainly focused on the progress and dilemmas of gene therapy in context of hemorrhagic disorders like Hemophilia. Authors also talk about those approaches, which are linked, with gene therapy’s clinical applications (Murphy & High, 2008). The article attracted me as it is relevant with use of…

Name: Maryam Sadiqa Group Members: Oralia Reyes Anny Then Anthony Mayers Date of lab performed: 06/4/16 Date of submission: 06/23/16 Lab Name: Genes in Human Population lab Page number: 57-66 Purpose of the lab: The purpose of this lab was to work with a partner and identify your partners and as well as your own phenotype and genotype. We did that by deeply observing our bodies and then determining whether we have the following traits. PTC, Darwin’s ear point, ear lobe attachment,…

During this lab report, we observed the anatomy of a rat. Our task was to dissect a rat and identify its internal organs along with the function of those organs. We carefully removed 10 organs from our rat to take notes on. What we noticed was the homologous structures of the rats were closely related to our own body composition. Their internal organs were positioned in close relation to where ours takes shape, and they looked immensely similar. In addition to their location and size, the rat's…

Charles Manson Biography Charles Milles Maddox – referred to by most as Charles Manson – was the leader of the Manson Family cult in the revolutionary period of the 1960’s. The Manson Family was responsible for nine murders, starting with the infamous killings of the actress Sharon Tate and four of her friends, occurring within five weeks in the year 1969. Charles Manson is still alive today serving a life sentence in Corcoran State Prison. Manson’s dark childhood was an appropriate indicator…

Classical Conditioning UCS- The unconditioned stimulus in this experiment is the air coming out of the straw. When the air is blown into the eye, the eye automatically blinks. This is a natural reaction and has no other foreign variables acting upon it to influence the blinking. An unconditioned stimulus triggers an automatic response. UCR- The unconditioned response in this experiment is the eye blinking after being blown into. As stated earlier, this response is unlearned and happens without…

Imagine growing up in a home in which parents do not teach morality, right from wrong, all goodness is an illusion, and the only present parent is an extremely young, alcoholic mother. Charles Manson’s early life was very similar to this. This terrible way of living can cause someone to do extremely obscene and grotesque things as an adult. Charles Manson’s life was like this, and as a result of his upbringing, he made some horrendous choices--such as convincing others to commit awful…

Classical conditioning is a way we learn to associate stimuli, and further expect events (Speilman, 2014, sect. 6.2). The founder of this process is named Ivan Pavlov, which was born in 1849 and deceased 1936. Classical conditioning, for example, is when you make a beeping noise every time before you feed a dog a treat, when you repeatedly do this, the dog will associate the sound with the treat (Speilman, 2014, sect. 6.2). This means that eventually, every time it hears the beeping noise, the…
