For a century, scientists studied chromosomes by looking at them under a microscope. In order for chromosomes to be seen this way, they need to be stained. Once stained, the chromosomes look like strings with light and dark bands, and their picture can be taken. A picture, or chromosome map, of all 46 chromosomes is called a karyotype. The karyotype can help identify abnormalities in the structure or the number of chromosomes. To help identify chromosomes, the pairs have been numbered from 1 to…
“Genome editing” is a form of genetic engineering that involves the addition, deletion, and modification of genes in a genome. The genome of an organism is the full genetic complement of that given organism hence by editing the genome, scientists are able to alter the phenotype of these organisms and can modify the cellular functions occurring within the organism. Mutations in the DNA of an organism occur during DNA replication. For example in the human genome, it is thought that there are 6…
In the world today cancer is a frequently conferred issue. From treating cancer, to curing it, to preventing it. Most people understand the basics of cancer but do not know anything about the molecular genetic side of it. Although there are many reasons for someone to develop cancer that is not linked to genetics, there are many reasons that are linked to genetics. Among woman in the United States ovarian caner is the fifth leading cause of cancer related deaths ("BRCA1 & BRCA2 "). “Ovarian…
They have wood. They sing.” Informal assessment through conversation and speech samples revealed slurred speech and imprecise consonant productions and the following articulation errors: “sometime” for sometimes, “kid” for “kids” (final consonant deletion), “wid” for “with” (stopping), and “fee” for “free” (consonant cluster reduction). Jamilette read 11/20 words correctly from the Pre-K Dolch Sight wordlist (i.e. and, a, can, make, me, not, run, I, jump, go, little); she identified 25/26…
Recently in the 2016 Presidential Campaign, Republican candidate Donald Trump emphasized his concern for vote manipulation in several “swing” states such as Pennsylvania. (cite) Although many of his thoughts are outlandish, this one in particular should be taken very seriously. Technology is expanding ever so vastly on a daily basis. Although, technology can be helpful it is also vulnerable. This concerns me in regards to presidential elections, and leaves me with the following questions; How…
To many, The Big Sleep has created a legacy cementing itself as a Hollywood classic. However, when discussing the notion of fidelity in terms of the book versus film adaptation, issues concerning the narrative due to the Hays Code, the addition of a romance to the plot, as well as the question of whether or not remaining faithful to the book is necessary, are all valued, and important points. The Big Sleep is a crime novel that was written in 1939 by Raymond Chandler. During the time of its…
2. d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing Learners The growing body of research has provided better understanding of the benefits of Visual Phonics. Studies have indicated that Visual Phonics is a favorable educational tool to teach phonemic awareness, letter-sound relationship, and speech production (Beal-Alvarez et al., 2011; Guardino, Syverud, Joyner, Nicols, & King, 2011; Narr, 2008; Syverud et al., 2009; Trezek et al., 2007). The focal point of studies on Visual Phonics is younger students such as…
Given Korean does not exhibit overt definite and indefinite article forms (“the” and “a” / “an” respectively) in its syntactic and semantic properties, mastering English definite and indefinite article usage in ESL acquisition for non-native Korean speakers (NNS) is a challenging task. This topic of article usage variability has received great attention from researchers since it is a salient linguistic feature in non-native speakers (NNS) English. The difficulty of English article production…
