currently sourcing some of his material to read. This initiative and willingness to learn makes me well-equipped for the demanding nature of the course and will keep me motivated throughout. I completed the Biology Olympiad to demonstrate my improved approach to unfamiliar problems; I found the cell biology and biochemistry sections most enjoyable and ultimately I achieved a Highly Commended which I am extremely proud of. This year, I aim to spread my enthusiasm for biochemistry by aiding Year…

behaviors while norms are “expectations associated with roles”[2]. All in all, norms are the expectations and behaviors that the majority of us assign to spaces and statuses. My norm violation takes place in my biology classroom and the surrounding halls in the biology building. In my biology classroom, there is not much…

One of the greatest gifts from God to humankind is biology. From the Greek words which mean the study of life, biology is a branch of science that focuses on how living things works. For example, how does a tiny human being turns into a full-grown adult in just matter of time? Why are there twins that look exactly alike but there are some that are not exactly alike? Thanks to biology, scientists now are able to answers these questions. It is all in the genes or more accurately the…

The perusal and review of twin, adoption, and family studies allows us to understand how the combination of biology and environment shapes us all. Some aspects of personality are linked to genes and have a biological basis, but it has allows been hard to separate biological basis of behavior from an environmental basis of behavior. Twin studies are a vastly important tool in dissecting the nature versus nurture argument. Pros of twin studies are that identical twins otherwise known as…

With the genetic code now cracked, further advancements in molecular biology and biotechnology could now take place. The genetic code is universal so at the basic level it operates the same way throughout biology. It is used by cells in humans, plants, bacteria and all other species (Thieman & Palladino, 2004). Understanding genetics leads to a whole new array of tools and techniques in biotechnology…

Being a curious person with some little knowledge of biology I have always been interested in the human body and always wanted to know how the complex mechanism of the human body works to enable an individual function properly from simple cells combining together to form tissues, organs and then an entire human body. Further my curiosity lead me to interlude upon the term Biomedical Sciences, and on searching more I was able to understand its benefits as a career as it is certainly a constantly…

1994, Goolish came to Ames Research Center to conduct research on how the small forces within space can change aquatic organisms, vertebrates and behaviors. He was focused on the aspects of astrobiology, as well as other subfields such as marine biology, biochemistry, and little bit of zoology. He was involved with the planning and construction of many biological research facilities for the I.S.S. (International…

their different cultural, physical as well as social practices. The slave trade era, commonly referred to as the Atlantic slave trade, saw the rise of categorization of the various human groups and led to the justification of African slaves. In biology, race is used cautiously as it is a rather ambiguous word. It is used synonymously with the term subspecies as in the case of mammals whereby, it is the taxonomic unit right after the species unit (Anemone, 2011). Population geneticists overtime…
