Biology

apply to today's societal views. I feel it is important to be able to see how thing have and haven’t changed in societies eyes when it comes to a person’s biology. Not only on biology, but also how the theories are affected by nurture vs. nature, since society had seen changing and so has the ideas of gender and how gender affected by biology and or society. It seems to me that the sex role theory is a biosocial approach, because part of the idea is that because a woman's…

In every single learning aspect we learn more and more as time progresses. If it may be the slight change in weather or possibly even a new discovery we continue to learn and gain a better understanding of the world we are living in, and how we live in it. We have broadened our capabilities to understanding the human body and the certain processes that we need to be completed in order for us to keep surviving in this world, and we just keep going up from there. Since we have come to the…

I show interest in majoring in biology because of my fascination for dentistry. I have shadowed my personal dentist on several occasions in hope of gaining some insight on what he has experienced and learned in his many years of work. He advised me to explore my options, however, also to consider taking biology, anatomy, and chemistry courses. Throughout my high school career I have discovered that biology and anatomy are two courses I genuinely enjoy and I hope to further pursue in college and…

Zoologists and Wildlife Biologists study many species of animal and their environments to see how they can improve the animal’s quality of life. Zoology and Wildlife Biology may be a tough career, but it pays off because you get the opportunity to study animals and be around animals, work outdoors, and travel across the world. Zoologists and Wildlife Biologists have certain duties, specialized tasks, and many other work that they have to do throughout the day. According to Create a Career,…

The lecture this week discussed evolution and development. While Darwin believed that natural selection worked with individuals, the synthetic theory states that genes determine all traits that heritable. While the synthetic theory of evolution combined Darwinian evolution and genetics, it chose genes as the only focus of natural selection, hence an organism can be seen as the “vehicle” for genes because they are what create these individuals to deal with the environment to make more genes. So,…

Cellular respiration is a very interesting topic that we are currently learning about in our biology class. What makes this particular topic so remarkable are all of the different elements that work together for cellular respiration to occur in human beings and animals. In the video, “ATP & Respiration: Crash Course Biology #& 7.” (ATP & Respiration: Crash Course Biology #7. n.d.). The narrator does an excellent job of explaining the cellular respiration process in a very clear cut…

I plan to major in the field of Biology for the purpose of studying the natural phenomenon of life and applying this knowledge to advance the field of medicine. Ever since I took Biology, I have had an unhindered fascination with genetics and evolution because just as the title of a Richard Dawkins book indicates, evolution is “The Greatest Show on Earth” and…

issue that does not have a definitive cure. This is what began my desire for helping others by assisting in finding cures or new ways to more effectively treat diseases. Through Biomedical Sciences, I am able to make contributions to the fields of biology and medicine. A PhD in Biomedical Sciences is not typical of a person interested in learning sciences. However, I find it important that biomedical scientists begin to research areas involved with learning sciences. A degree in biomedical…

The anatomy of a human exists as an extremely complex and complicated phenomena. Although human anatomy primarily falls under biology, it also incorporates various characteristics from other sciences including chemistry. Among these characteristics, lies the relationship that exists between acids and bases for the functionality of the body. Therefore one can conclude that, acid-base reactions affect the human body through its role in the digestive, urinary, and respiratory system while also…

Growing up studying Biology I have increasingly become aware of the perplexity and beauty in which the subject holds. What truly intrigues me is the complexity of the human body, how one gene mutation can result in intriguing occurrences of unique diseases that shape people’s everyday life. With our technological advances we have the ability to discover and learn the reasons behind these cases that consequently bring about world-changing breakthroughs not only in medicine but our basic concept…
