Emma Watson

James Dewey Watson, an American geneticist; Francis Crick, a British molecular biologist, and Maurice Wilkins, an English physicist and molecular biologist. The three worked together and achieved a significant impact on biotechnology in terms of the discovery of DNA structure (the double helix), and therefore they had been awarded Nobel Prize in 1962 (Watson, 1968). Their research and subsequent major discoveries…

This article deals with gene therapy related issues. According to authors, gene therapy may substitute a defective gene sequence with its perfect version and thus, can cure severe diseases. The article is mainly focused on the progress and dilemmas of gene therapy in context of hemorrhagic disorders like Hemophilia. Authors also talk about those approaches, which are linked, with gene therapy’s clinical applications (Murphy & High, 2008). The article attracted me as it is relevant with use of…

Name: Maryam Sadiqa Group Members: Oralia Reyes Anny Then Anthony Mayers Date of lab performed: 06/4/16 Date of submission: 06/23/16 Lab Name: Genes in Human Population lab Page number: 57-66 Purpose of the lab: The purpose of this lab was to work with a partner and identify your partners and as well as your own phenotype and genotype. We did that by deeply observing our bodies and then determining whether we have the following traits. PTC, Darwin’s ear point, ear lobe attachment,…

During this lab report, we observed the anatomy of a rat. Our task was to dissect a rat and identify its internal organs along with the function of those organs. We carefully removed 10 organs from our rat to take notes on. What we noticed was the homologous structures of the rats were closely related to our own body composition. Their internal organs were positioned in close relation to where ours takes shape, and they looked immensely similar. In addition to their location and size, the rat's…

Charles Manson Biography Charles Milles Maddox – referred to by most as Charles Manson – was the leader of the Manson Family cult in the revolutionary period of the 1960’s. The Manson Family was responsible for nine murders, starting with the infamous killings of the actress Sharon Tate and four of her friends, occurring within five weeks in the year 1969. Charles Manson is still alive today serving a life sentence in Corcoran State Prison. Manson’s dark childhood was an appropriate indicator…

James Watson along with Francis Crick helped discover what we know about DNA today. They helped shape what we know about DNA and changed the world with scientific contributions. James Watson along with his colleagues helped shape the modern science of today with his many studies of DNA, cancer, and genomes. James Watson was born in Chicago, Illinois on April 6th, 1928. When he was young he attended Horace Mann Grammar School for 8 years and then attended South Shore High School for two years.…

Classical Conditioning UCS- The unconditioned stimulus in this experiment is the air coming out of the straw. When the air is blown into the eye, the eye automatically blinks. This is a natural reaction and has no other foreign variables acting upon it to influence the blinking. An unconditioned stimulus triggers an automatic response. UCR- The unconditioned response in this experiment is the eye blinking after being blown into. As stated earlier, this response is unlearned and happens without…

James Watson is one of many famous scientists who have impacted our world. With the help of Francis Crick, they discovered a life changing element which was DNA structure. Their discovery changed how we think today and our understanding of how our body works. James Watson, Molecular Biologist, Geneticist, and Zoologist, won a nobel prize with Francis Crick, a Molecular Biologist, Biophysicist, and Nutritionist. His Childhood James Watson was born in Chicago, Illinois on April 6th, 1928.…

Imagine growing up in a home in which parents do not teach morality, right from wrong, all goodness is an illusion, and the only present parent is an extremely young, alcoholic mother. Charles Manson’s early life was very similar to this. This terrible way of living can cause someone to do extremely obscene and grotesque things as an adult. Charles Manson’s life was like this, and as a result of his upbringing, he made some horrendous choices--such as convincing others to commit awful…

obstacles that woman of science faced and continue to face. Although Watson and Crick worked to study the structure of DNA, they would not have been able to complete their research without the Photo 51; a photo stolen from Rosalind Franklin. Although Franklin was so integral to the discovery of the structure of DNA and her work was stolen from her, she was portrayed as a villainous character by James Watson in, “The Double Helix”. Watson used her absence due to her death at the age of 37 as a…
