Chromosomes

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), is a reproductive technology involving an egg being removed from a woman, and joined with the sperm cell from a man. This process all happens in a test tube, for the intent of controlling those who suffer from problems with fertility (Pbs.org, n.d.). The cells then join together in a process called meiosis, where they then divide to form an embryo. IVF is most commonly used for those who would otherwise be unable to have children, including blocked tubes, same sex…

development of atypical chromosomes can be socially, physically, and cognitively. Furthermore, the individual has physical differences compared to those with XY or XX chromosomes. For example, a female with Turner’s syndrome can have facial features, poor breast development, and underdeveloped ovaries. Although she may have high verbal skills, she may fall below average mathematical and spatial reasoning skills (McLeod, 2014). In sum, biological theories focuses on the ways chromosomes and…

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy The body is like one huge scale that needs constant conservation to maintain balance for a stable state of survival. Homeostasis is the component that helps the body maintain balance. There are four core principles that help homeostasis keep balance which are, feedback loops, relationship of structure and function, gradients, and cell to cell communication. “Muscular homeostasis is cell to cell communication that coordinate their functions and maintain homeostasis…

6F4Z1003- Genetics, Adaptation and Diversity Practical Report Section 1- Calculations and Pedigrees 1. In DNA extraction the proteins absorb light at 260nm and 280nm, especially the aromatic acids. 2. 250µg to nm, 250 x 1000 = 250,000ng. 3. 200ng/ml = 0.2µg/ml. 150µg/ml = 150,000µg/ml 250,000pg/µl = 250µg/ml 1mg/ml = 1000µg/ml ● 150,00µg/ml - HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OF DNA ● 1000µg/ml ● 250µg/ml ● 0.2µg/ml - LOWEST CONCENTRATION OF DNA 4. Sodium dodecyl sulphate is used as a…

genetic makeup is decided at conception, when the sperm and egg are fertilised. The sex of a child is determined by their sex chromosomes as this determines their sex, an XX chromosome would produce a female child whilst an XY chromosome would produce a male child. Due to hormones that are released pre-natally there is also a direct link between an individual’s sex chromosomes of XX or XY and their external genitalia of a vagina or penis as well as their internal genitalia of ovaries or testes.…

Madeline - Slide 1 and 2: Today we will be talking about evidence of evolution from molecular biology and biochemistry, the main topics covered today will be molecular biology and biochemistry, DNA comparison with chimpanzees and other species, serological tests, and cytochrome C. Jillian - Slide 3: The structure and function of cellular components can be used as evidence for evolution. The two fields that contribute to molecular evolution research are molecular biology and biochemistry.…

Ectopia Cordis is a prenatal malformation in which the heart develops outside of the thorax, alongside locations such as the chest, neck, or abdomen. This genetic disorder surfaces during the second trimester of pregnancy, and is discerned through an ultrasound. Abott was the first to discover Ectopia Cordis in 1898. The symptoms resulting from Ectopia Cordis include malformation of the heart, a cleft palate, spinal defects, and pulmonary atresia, or underdevelopment of the pulmonary valve.…

Chase Ochoa Biological Anthopology 1. Biological Anthropology, as a science, has had an enormous impact on the field of Human Anatomy. It’s given us insight into the history of human development, from where we’ve come to where we are now. Those within the science have researched mankind’s origins through the use of what was left behind: Remains of our ancestors, and the ancestors that came before we could even define ourselves as Homo Sapiens Sapiens. 2. This statement is true in numerous…

with different experiences and adventures, as the life of two beautiful sisters. These pair of sisters used to be all the time together, share everything, and have the same stuff, even sharing their own living space. They were called the sisters chromosome. These two sisters were like twins, always together and living in the same nucleus. This was normal for them, as if they had the same genes and the same components that made them be so unified. These two sisters were sharing everything to be…

donor and the mother (Saey 2016). As chromosome are divided, they are attached to protein fibers called spindles (Saey 2016). These spindle and chromosomes are removed from the mother’s egg and emptied from the donor egg (Saey 2016). Then, the spindle and its attached chromosomes from the mother egg’s is placed into the empty donor egg (Saey…
