Everyone has their own lifestyle and life choices or things that you are better at and things you not so good at but why. Genes, everyone has them but how do they affect us. Genes help influence our life choices because it has certain codes or DNA which makes you more attracted to do or be something. Genes are what makes us, us. It determines our eye color, hair color, skin pigment and other things. Not only does it determine our physical traits it also affects our way of thinking because what…

Relationship between cells Cells contain organelles these are the basis of a cell it contains many organelles and is basically the same a human these cells are the basic blocks of life cells are microscopic and what makes up tissues. Tissues are visible to the naked eye and are what creates us there are four main types of tissue connective epithelial nervous and muscle. Tissue makes up organs these are the what run us humans and every other living thing these keep them alive and have many…

oligotrophic environments. Their dimorphic cell cycle produces two morphologically and functionally different daughter cells, known as the stalked cell and the swarmer cell. The stalked cell remains anchored to the substratum and is sessile, while the swarmer cell is motile. Upon chemotaxis, the swarmer cell disperses in search of nutrients. Once sufficient nutrients are located the cell cycle can continue. In the early phases of the cell cycle, the swarmer cell will lose its flagella and begin…

By: Ishika Modi “I ask people why they have deer heads on their walls. They always say because it's such a beautiful animal. There you go. I think my mother is attractive, but I have photographs of her”(Degeneres). The quote states that though people place deer heads on a wall because people think that the deer is beautiful, humans however would not place another human's head on a wall because the person thinks another human is beautiful. Clearly, this proves that humans and animals are not…

example of how Huxley’s warnings about science and technology are just as relevant as they were back then. “Human Cloning is similar to Brave New World because everyone’s lives were created in a test tube just like the process of human cloning where cells are combined scientifically and the embryo is formed outside the human body.” (Zucker, et al) “In addition to this, in The Brave New World Soma was used as a form of happiness, false happiness. It drew the society away from any form of true…

Ragweed Correlations While the partial correlations of the allergy skin test neutralization levels of many patients are statistically useful suggestions, they do not necessarily show cross-reactivity. Our next step is to conduct specific laboratory experiments to show us if the suggested cross-reactivity between a pair of correlating antigens actually exists. We needed ragweed antibodies for our lab tests so we purchased several vials of ragweed antigen and used one of these to produce rabbit…

Mitochondria How is it that when you hear about cells, they seem so complex? It is simply because they are very complex, even if they are small. Such a complex thing, however, needs a lot of energy to function. A lot of that energy comes from the mitochondria in each cell. Mitochondria are one of many parts in a cell that help the cell to function. These so-called parts of a cell are called organelles. The mitochondria were first discovered by Richard Altman, but was originally named…

always pairs with T. DNA is the blueprint of life. Humans have 46 chromosomes. Our entire DNA sequence is is called a genome. The average gene is 10,000 to 15,000 bases long. DNA can be extracted from many different types of samples: blood, cheek cells, urine. Alleles are forms of of the same gene with small differences in their sequence of DNA bases. Genes are made up of DNA. There are about 20,000 important genes located on one of the 23 chromosome pairs found in the nucleus or on long strands…

Procreative Beneficence Definition Procreative Beneficence is a term coined by Julian Savulescu and is stated as, “Couples (or single reproducers) should select the child they could have who is expected to have the best life, or at least as good a life as the others, based on the relevant, available information” (Savulescu, 2001, 295). Breaking this principle down, it says reproducers should select a child that is likely to have the “best life.” The word, “should,” is explained by Savulescu to…

In the online article “DNA Procedure”, the author Ian Sample explains a procedure of a DNA mitochondrial transplant to help parents who have a risk of passing on genetic diseases to their children. The procedure consists of taking the nucleus from the woman’s egg, inserted it into a donor’s egg, then fertilizing it with the husband’s sperm. This is a very controversial procedure that has been discussed for many years. The procedure is a great thing when wanting to help mothers who cannot have…
