Sociologist may associate biological influences on gender with the human behaviour and the structure of the human anatomy however; some sociologist may base their sociological influences on gender with cultural and environmental factors. This associates with the “nature vs. nuture” argument, as I will be exploring and comparing sociologist views on whether biology has more of an influence on gender or sociology. From a sociologist’s point of view, sex is referred to the biological approach and…

Down syndrome is one of the most common genetic disorders. Down syndrome is a genetic disorder where a person is born with an extra copy of chromosome 21. Down syndrome is a form of mental retardation. In the United States about 4,000 children are being born with this condition annually. One in about every 900 births is effected, making it the most common birth defect. There are three genetic variations that cause this disorder: trisomy 21, Mosaic Trisomy 21, or Translocation Trisomy 21. There…

Disorder). In the article "APA Diagnostic Classification DSM-IV-TR" it is explained that there are two ideas of how the disorder develops. The first one develops at conception. The genetic sex of a child is determined at conception. One X chromosome from the mother and one X or…

receives two sets of chromosomes: one set from the mother and one set from the father. The chromosomes are responsible for the genetic coding and DNA of the embryo; therefore, the responsibility of genetic variation lies on the chromosomes. Clones come from a scientific process called the somatic cell nuclear transfer or SCNT. During this process, scientists remove the chromosomes from the egg cell and replace them with the nucleus of a somatic cell which contains two sets of chromosomes. Since…

Angel man syndrome is a very unique syndrome. This is a lifetime, short time, syndrome. People with angelman syndrome have issues with balance, movement, seizures, speech impairment, very small head size and sleep. Also kids or adults who are diagnosied with this syndrome, they are all very happy, they laugh a lot, also they all have big bright smiles. The most major cause of this disease is a gene that is missing. A gene called ube3a which is a gene that focuses on targeting proteins. Four…

It is a defect on their chromosome 15, which affects one out of every 15000 births. Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a genetic disease that causes children to be hyperphagia meaning they…

means that the disease can be caused by a single mutation in a gene or multiple mutations in a gene. Early onset familial Alzheimer’s disease is an autosomal dominant disease, which means that there is enough of a mutation on one of the non-sex chromosomes to cause the disease. You can receive this from either parent, depending on which parent has the dominant gene, most likely the parent who has familial history of Alzheimer’s. There have been studies to try and figure out the mode of…

By looking at the fetal pig and its muscle structure, researchers and individuals are able to gain a better understanding of what human muscles look like, where they are located, and how they function. The muscles that were labeled in the dissection are important factors in the movement of the individual. The muscles work together though antagonism. Antagonism works when one muscle, such as the extensor carpi radialis contracts, and the flexor carpi radialis relaxes, allowing the hand to extend.…

The novel Genome written by Matt Ridley demonstrates many genetic disease and disorders as the novel progresses. Ridley, illustrates Asthma on page 66-67 and in Chapter 5, which is named Chromosome 5. Asthma, although not specially related one chromosome, has traces to many chromosomes throughout the body. Asthma affects more than 26 million Americans throughout the country, 18.9 million of them being adults and 7.1 million of them being children (1). Also, asthma causes around 3,500 death a…

Where is the cure for Alzheimer’s disease? The most common form of dementia is, Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Alzheimer’s can be defined as a disease that includes memory loss and inabilities that affect daily life. A common misconception is that aging comes with Alzheimer’s. Although majority people affected with this disease are 65 and above, there is also a 5% of people who are in their 40s or 50s affected by Alzheimer’s. AD is a disease of progression. There are three stages of AD and by…
