The Egyptian kings and queens were buried, in the Deir- el bahri located in the west bank of the Nile. Among the pharaohs were a few mummies, which could not be identified and was aside letter of the alphabets to them. The coffin in which unknown man E was buried into was examined once he was removed. The coffin appeared to have wood shaving inside, which in tells that coffin was enlarge to accommodate the body of unknown man E. This discovery clearly shows that this coffin was not intended…

Mutations and errors in sexual reproduction allow for variation within a population. These variations can eventually lead to the complex process of evolution in a species. The genetically derived mutation Polycythemia and the environmentally derived mutation lip augmentations, affect human evolution in a beneficial and detrimental way. Evolution is change in the aspects of a certain species over a period of time. This is caused by mutations which are variations or differences in the genome. Both…

Galapagos is a science fiction-fantasy story set in a third person narrative that was written by the author Kurt Vonnegut. Most of the story is set in the hotel of El Dorado in Ecuador and is spent introducing the characters of the story. The main characters are Mary Hepburn a widow from America who was a biology teacher at Ilium High School recently laid off from her job and mourning the death of her late husband Roy Hepburn who died of a brain tumor that slowly robbed him of his judgment and…

the surrogate mother more than once and it has to go through the procedure of having an egg planted in her. Also of an egg being removed. it interferes with evolution of species. Traits are lost as a specie adapts to a certain environment as that allele become more favourable and it increase the chance of survival. If species are cloned to be identically the same as another, then they will not be able to adapt to the environment naturally anymore. They will have the genetic material to suit…

Picture this: a world where everyone looks exactly the same--ridden with birth defects, religion has disappeared because people can control their environment with a simple insertion or deletion of a gene, and no one is sure of the future because every couple years, a virus that was supposed to harmlessly alter genes mutates to harmfully cause a deadly epidemic. Sound familiar? Maybe not yet, but at the rate we 're going, the world isn 't far away from the scenario just described due to the…

Pan paniscus is also closely related to the humans and very like humans in having rare cases of having aggressive encounters on normal basis. Aggressive encounters between males and females ae rare and the males are tolerant to the infants and juvenile. The less aggression in bonobos is because when a female enters a community, she has sexual relationships with the older male and both groom each other suppressing any kind of aggression that could occur (Wrangham and Peterson, 1996). Unlike in…

Celiac disease and type 1 diabetes are autoimmune disorders within the human body. An autoimmune disorder is a condition where the antibodies of the immune system attack the healthy cells and tissues. Since they’re both autoimmune disorders, the possibility of them being related genetically increases due to same genes to trigger the immune response. Scientist are investigating the possibility of these two disorders having a genetic similarity, causing individuals who have celiac to be more…

multiple pigments and for these, albinism is considered to be a hereditary condition characterised by the absence of melanin in particular, in the eyes, skin, hair, scales, feathers or cuticle. Albinism results from inheritance of recessive gene alleles and is known to affect all vertebrates, including humans. While an organism with complete absence of melanin is called an albino an organism with only a diminished amount of melanin is described as leucistic or albinoid. Albinism is associated…

organs of the patient. This disease will ultimately lead to fatal impairment of the lungs. It is most common to see Cystic Fibrosis diagnosed from early childhood to young teens. Cystic Fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder in which both gene alleles must be mutated for the disease to be expressed (Ignatavicius and Workman, 2013). As every person is unique, the severity of the effects from CF will vary from person to person. Although the life expectancy has risen over the years for people…

increase one’s susceptibility to late-onset of Alzheimer’s disease. One of the first evidences of identifying ApoE4 as a probable risk factor in Alzheimer’s Disease came from Shimano et al., who found a “twofold greater relative frequency of the E4 allele in AD pateints” (Siest et al., 1995). Later, Namba et al. (1991, p.163) conducted immunohistochemical experiments in patients with Alzheimers disease using antibodies to ApoE. Through ApoE immunoreactivity, the localization of ApoE4 protein in…
