Due to the fact, that the increase of radicle length within lentil bean seeds was affected by the environmental aqueous solutions, which was made up of either a table sugar, dextrose or a control. It presented that there was not a statistical difference between the table sugar or dextrose aqueous solutions in comparison to the radicle lengths since the P values were less than 0.05. Although, there was a statistical increase in radicle length with the comparison to the control. If these seeds…
billion and would have funded human embryo research and modifications. This bill was rejected because congress was concerned with the success rate when dealing with such a large sum of money. The bill is expected to be passed soon with more research going into this technology and it only improving. Dealing with ethical situations, Health and Safety organizations around the world are concerned with the outcome of a genome experiment going wrong, such as the embryo forming incorrectly or even…
Germination- Germination is when seeds are spread/blown somewhere else and grow into new plants or when a seed is planted by someone in the ground. Although there are many important factors that are involved in seed germination the three most important ones are water, sunlight, and temperature. Plants are not able to germinate if the seed is watered too much or too little. Plants are not capable to grow food from sunlight when they are seeds, so the seed will use other things, such as water, to…
gallus domesticus) is used as a model organism, it has many features which qualify it for this role. Fertilized chicken eggs (therefore embryos)…
When discussing the physiological effects of alcohol, drugs, and tobacco it is understandable that each person’s effects vary and no two people will ever have the same effects or outcomes. Differing situations, emotional, biological, environmental, and even social influences can all add to an addictive behavior. The two special populations that I will be discussing are adolescents and pregnant women. These groups as one may see are obviously very different and have varying strategies that need…
Christian groups want to put an end to this research saying the embryos being used are human beings that are being exploited and then dumped as medical waste. Whereas some scientist says the research will help people who are stricken with awful diseases find cures ( Embryos and Enoulment 2005) We must also ask the question of why some pregnancies come to term and others do not. If anything is physically wrong with…
translucency (NT) is the sonographic appearance of the subcutaneous accumulation of fluid behind the fetal neck in the first trimester of pregnancy. NT is measured between 11 to 13 weeks gestation with the optimal measurement of crown-rump (the length of an embryo or fetus measured from the skull vertex to the midpoint between the apices of the buttocks10) of 45 mm to 84 mm. Most fetuses can be viewed transabdominally scan, while some need additional transvaginal examination2. The image of…
Can a cure be found by using three to five day old embryos? Stem cell research has been going through a debate for the past decade whether it’s ethically or unethically to be using Embryonic Stem cells. Some groups seem to think embryonic should be used to lives and other seem believe they should be laid to rest. Scientists are working round the clock to progress the lives of people, experimenting with different types drugs in order to do so. However, they are also using organic materials as…
This week in dynamics of human development we met with our groups for the remander of our class and did some group activities, watched the PBS film of Life’s Greatest Miracle, read Issue #2 in the Taking Sides book, and read chapter 3 in our Development of Children and Adolescents textbook. Issue #2 in Taking Sides was Does Maternal Employment Have Negative Effects on Children’s Development. Bascially it is stating that if a parent is in the workplace or at home, which side would end up in…
Genu varum is a condition that causes the lower leg to angle medially and produce an outward appearance at the knee. It can cause one or both legs to form a slightly visible projection that creates an image similar to an archer’s bow, therefore the term “bowlegged” is often used. Every baby is born bowlegged because of the way they sit in the womb, although it does not become noticeable until the early stages of walking. This is considered normal until 18 months of age, but usually by the time a…
