Gene Therapy & Cancer Cells Gene therapy is often defined as a treatment that uses genes to cure or prevent diseases. Genes, DNA, and protein are all involved with each other, therefore, in many immune diseases, if one fails your whole immune system could eventually fail. This treatment is relatively new; hence it is still a pretty risky experimentation since it involves getting genes into cancer cells. Gene Therapy is often involved in serious cancer cell treatments; its main purpose is to try…

Michel Foucault, in “Panopticism,” explains that panopticism it can be very beneficial; however, it would lead to tyranny at the end. Plato talks, in “Allegory of the cave,” about the experience in the point of view of a prisoner chained in dark caves and his experience after that. Brian Doyle, in “Joyas Voladoras,” describes a variety of creatures that have hearts, explains their adaptation and their properties; demonstrates that humankind have a unique type of heart - the locker of all the…

environment. What are two main sources of food? Why do organisms depend on food? Who or what is the primary producer in a food web? What do the arrows tell us about a food web? How would a food web change if an organism were removed? How can energy move through an environment? 2. Organisms and events cause environmental changes. How would an environment be affected by a change that harmed some hunted organisms but favored other hunted organisms? What are some natural events that change…

Have we ever given much thought to the knowledge of how we know? What allows us to understand the world around us? How can we explain behavior and our cognition itself? We are always set to think that what we see, hear, experience is certainty. What we experience day-to-day is reality, and there is no other form of it. However, can I be too certain that how I see things is always how others will as well? With a little outside-of-the-box thinking, the answers to these questions lie in the basics…

CHAPTER TWO LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1 Basic Concepts of Land-Use and Land-Cover Change According to (FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization), 2000; Gregorio, 2005) land cover refers to the biophysical cover of the earth surface or land for instance vegetation cover such as forest, shrub/bushland, and grassland and water. Whereas land cover can be defined as the attributes of the earth’s land surface covered by vegetation, desert, water bodies like lake, sea, ocean, bare soil and ice (Chrysoulakis…

biodiversity – is the term given to the variety of life on Earth. It is the variety within and between all species of plants, animals and micro-organisms and the ecosystems within which they live and interact.'(Wwf.org.au, n.d.) Every organism plays an important role in their ecosystem and they are all connected in some way which means if the population size of one organism declines or goes extinct the condition of the ecosystem could fall dramatically. Biodiversity conservation involves saving…

Life. Webster Online Dictionary states the simple definition as life to be, “the ability to grow, change, etc., that separates plants and animals from things like water or rocks, the period of time when a person is alive and the experience of being alive”. Purpose. Cambridge online dictionary states that the definition of purpose is, “why you do something or why something exists”. Why is it that you have a life? Does your life have a purpose? Does a purpose for life truly exist? Have you found…

aspect is found in plant and animal life. But the socio-cultural aspect is the rare division of human life alone. Our life in the complex world is governed not only by the biological process, but also by a social process. Though the performance of the organism is the biological heredity, education is our social heredity. With biological heredity alone, we would be nothing better than an animal. But we have social heredity that makes us a man. It is only man who can be educated. Education is very…

Epigenetics translates to “above the genome”, according to Epigenetics article on PBS. Above the genome refers to external modifications to DNA that turn genes “on” and “off”. Although modifications don’t change the sequence per se, it changes the way the cells “read” genes. Essentially, this is what differentiates genetics from epigenetics. Going further into detail, genetics conceptually deal with gene and gene function. This focuses on how DNA sequences make changes in the cell. However,…

Bob The Blob and his dog Blobby were green cells that lived in a human named Tyler. It was very strange being a cell. Although, it was almost the same world that humans lived in, just different. For example, instead of roads, they had bloodstreams, instead of humans and their pets, everyone was a cell, just in a different form. Roads still existed and they were still called ‘roads’, or at least by the cells. If you were a human, you’d call it a bloodstream. The small world the cells lived in was…
