An Investigation of the Effects of Cytokinins during the Germination of Brassica rapa Seeds Germination is a vital stage in a plants life, but it also plays a significant role in other animals’ (including humans) life cycle. It is the process in which a new plant grows from a seed. Due to the fact that plants are autotrophs; they use the process of photosynthesis to transform sunlight and make their own food. Germination occurs in gymnosperms and angiosperms when the seed is using its own…

Abortion Abortion has been around for many years. It was widely practiced in the U.S. during the 1800s and was just a part of life. In 1821 Connecticut passed the first law in the United States making abortion illegal after quickening (when the woman can feel the fetus move during pregnancy). During this period woman was usually given poison after the fourth month of pregnancy. Most states followed Connecticut in this making abortions illegal after the first trimester but nothing big…

Imagine walking down a long row of cages. In every cage there is a terrified animal. The animals range from birds, rodents, and fish to dogs and cats. Although each animal is different, they all have one thing in common: they are lab subjects. Every animal is petrified while cowering in the corner of their cage. The animals also writhe in pain because of the drugs that are coursing through their bloodstream. The animals have never experienced what it is like to be loved and cared for. They only…

with this matter. He tries to keep a positive outlook, but he is also afraid, even though he doesn’t show it. The first doctors check up was already in the second stage of the embryonic stage. The organs start forming, and the body system of the embryo starts to grow. In her case, since her career is based on her body and health Dr. Septien is allowing her to train normally but limiting her load to only 20 lbs due to a fresh pregnancy and the chances of miscarriages. The doctor took her…

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…

Over 400,000 frozen embryos can be found in storages throughout the United States, inclining daily, people still don’t know what they want to do with their own left over frozen embryos that will not be used (Beauchaine). Although frozen embryos offer an extensive amount of help to couples that cannot conceive a problem still remains with the increasing amount of embryos…

Twin studies aid in strengthening the correlations between fetal environment, low birth weight, and adult disease. On average, twins have lower than average birth weight as they experience reduction in growth during their third trimester due to limitations in size of the uterus (Vagero & Leon, 1994). Research involving monozygous and dizygous twins has determined that the lighter twin was more likely to develop higher blood pressure and have increased cardiovascular disease risk (Baird, Osmond,…

Pharmaceutical drugs are defined as drugs prescribed by a doctor or bought over-the-counter (OTC) for medicinal purposes. In relation to pregnancies, prescription and OTC drugs can affect pregnant women and their child in positive and negative ways. These pharmaceutical drugs have helped women maintain health conditions and aid in overcoming the discomforts a pregnancy brings, yet have the potential to cause harm to the fetus. Studies have been rather limited in both their research and results,…

In Frankenstein, Nature and science have brought a significant impact onto the characters. The progression of science combined with nature leads to a debacle. With this, there are various effects and roles shown through nature and science. Mary Shelley expresses her message about this. In her times, she was part of the transition from the Enlightenment to the Romanticist age and this led her to composing a story with nature and science competing against each other. From the struggles between the…
