Siqi Li May 2015 What topics will students address during the beginning of the school year in Buffalo? During the beginning of the school year in Buffalo, students will study two parts of Living Environment in 7 weeks. The main topic is about the introduction to the course includes the cell which is the foundation of the study of all living things. The key idea 1 in curriculum, living things are both similar and different from each other from nonliving things. The enduring understanding is…

Cells Research Assignment I. Define the following terms CELL NOUN The (usually) microscopic structure, known as a cell. Is the functional and biological unit of all organisms (life forms). INFERENCE NOUN Is a conclusion, idea and/or opinion that is reached on evidence, reasoning and the information that you have. It is simply, an educated guess. Synonyms implication, interpretation, deduction, reasoning, speculation, presumption, assumption. OBSERVATION NOUN 1. An act of viewing,…

is the process in which living organisms have changed and developed ”evolved” into different species, but are believed to have derived or originated from a single species or ancestral background (Biological Def.). This can be proven by studying the changes of, DNA, anatomical structures, and embryological development, over a long period of time. The existence of evolution can also be proven by studying cladograms, the homologous and analogous structures of an organism, and fossil records. The…

1. In the article entitled, “The DNA Mystique: The Gene as a Cultural Icon,” authors Dorothy Nelkin and Susan Lindee argue that the gene has influence as a social symbol outside of its biological domain, becoming something like a “magical force”. Nelkin and Lindee describe the gene as, “powerful, deterministic, and central to an understanding of both everyday behavior and the “secret of life””. The popular media has helped to shape the general public’s view of the gene as an all powerful device…

The oldest forms of life are single-celled organisms known as microbes. There are many different types of microbes that are found all around the world, and they play an important role in the environment, in the body of animals, and even in the health of plants. The specific type of microbe investigated in this paper is the gram positive bacterium known as Kocuria rhizophila, which has a bright yellow color that simplifies identification. The main objectives of the paper are the following:…

The article “Tweak in Gene Expression May Have Helped Humans Walk Upright” found on Science Daily discusses work conducted by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine and at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology. These researchers have been able to distinguish what gave us humans the ability to walk upright through research conducted on the fish threespine stickleback. The fish has evolved multiple times over time in order to match different environments around the world.…

The Epigenetics Revolution: How Modern Biology Is Rewriting Our Understanding of Genetics, Disease, and Inheritance, written by Nessa Carey, is a uniquely constructed introduction to the world of epigenetics. Regardless of its recent emergence in science, Carey articulately ties in both historical context and scientific evidence to outline and support the developing knowledge of epigenetics. She uses scientific studies, advances, and even possible future developments of the field to engage and…

segmented worms, both externally and internally. Flatworms is part of the phylum named Platyhelminthes, that is part of kingdom Animalia. They are usually soft and flat, and they also have internal organ systems and tissues. Flatworms are the simplest organisms that have three embryonic germ layers, are bilaterally symmetrical, and have the feature of cephalization. Cephalization is the concentration of sensory organs and some other organs at the anterior end of the body, or the front end. This…

Many living organisms rely on the environment for essential resources, including water, food, and shelter. However, they not only need the help of the environment but also other species that live within the biosphere. This lab aided in demonstrating how the affect of one organism has on another, and whether or not it benefits either organisms or one organism. In order to progress with the experiment we first have to identify our variables that will be used during the experiment. The independent…

fascination with genetics and evolution because just as the title of a Richard Dawkins book indicates, evolution is “The Greatest Show on Earth” and I would love to kick back and see the future and past of living organisms. While the topic is very controversial, I find the idea of cloning organisms and the ability to create inheritable disease-free babies through CRISPR/Cas9 to be very fascinating and I would hope that I can contribute to human welfare in an ethical, yet effective…
