4.1 The GABC Approach for Image Segmentation The GABC is the Genetic Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm. The proposed algorithm is the implementation of ABC algorithm with the key concept of GA technique.The GABC is actually the hybrid approach of Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm and the Genetic Algorithm.In this method we extend Genetic Algorithm with Artificial Bee Colony operators i:e Employed Bees and Onlooker Bees to improve the solution space named as Genetic Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm…

The disease i am going to talk about is cancer, cancer is an uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. How does cancer from cancer forms or develops when the body’s normal function for control stops working it happens like this old cells don’t die instead they grow not just any normal growth it’s an out of control type of growth with this growth it destroys the surrounding tissue it could possibly spread to other areas in a process called metastasis how does metastasis do this well it…

Over the years, many different theories and ideas have arisen regarding sexuality and gender. For a long time, there has been a societal debate over the impact of nature and nurture on an individual’s sex and gender. It can be argued that ‘biology is fate’ in regards to this but there are, however, many other influencing factors that can shape and dilute this ‘fate.’ Social norms, upbringing and the culture one lives in can heavily impact how and with who one identifies themselves. Sex and…

tested scientist still are unclear of the cause of Alzheimer’s, however, they do know that it all relates back to genetics. A healthy human body consists of 46 chromosomes and those who suffer from Alzheimer’s have genetic links to chromosomes 1, 14, 19 and 21. Late-onset Alzheimer’s disease affecting those over 65 has been linked with chromosome 19, also referred to as the APOE gene. A type of the APOE gene known as APOE4 has been correlated with the likelihood of Alzheimer’s setting in. There…

Introduction Drosophila melanogaster can be considered model organisms for the study of genetics. Some characteristics that contribute to this status are their quick lifecycles, large amount of offspring, and the presence of only four chromosomes. Drosophila melanogaster contain bristles on the thorax, head, legs, and abdomen. These bristles are used as a sensory mechanism, allowing fruit flies to detect their surroundings as they fly and walk around their environment (Yehuda, 2011). The rate…

Genetics Home Reference, an article by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, “the results of genetic tests are not always straightforward, which often makes them challenging to interpret and explain.” Results include numbers that correspond to chromosomes or a percentage of the probability of obtaining a specific disease. The intake that comes from genetic testing is difficult on patients, but genetic counselors are there to aid them. They provide patients with information about the results and…

A XX chromosome would indicate a female and a XY would indicate a male. This extra Y gives them a stronger urge to execute crime. This individual is occasionally called a “super male.” Having an extra chromosome would result an increase in testosterone, a sex hormone. Making men more aggressive and violent. “In the 1800s researchers conducted the Juke family…

Drosophila melanogaster the concept to understanding genetic inheritances from Parental to Offspring Lab Three: Genetic Experiments with Drosophila Arizona State University Kira James Professor Hoffman LSC 348: Fundamental of Genetics Lab Monday 27 October 2014 Abstract Drosophila melanogaster is a small, common fly found near upripe and rotted fruit. It is one of the most valuable organisms in genetics research since they are practical, small and have a short life cycle of about two weeks…

on sex and gender. Tian et al (2009) indicates that DSD is one of the most complicated problems in gender testing in sport. It can lead to various conditions where a child with XY chromosomes can develop as a female. For example, a person with Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome is genetically male (XY chromosomes) but she will not have male sex characteristic inasmuch as she is not capable of metabolizing androgen (an important male hormone). Consequently, she could make use of any male…

hyperextend the elbows and can flex his fingers and wrists far enough to touch his forearms. He has a noticeable pectus deformity of the chest. The inheritance pattern of his condition is: A. Autosomal dominant B. Autosomal recessive C. Duplicated chromosome D. X-linked dominant E. X-linked recessive Answer…
