CRISPR stand for: Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat. The CRISPR is repeat spacer array contain a series of short direct repeats interspaced with short sequence which had been detected in the genome of many bacteria and archaea. The CRISPR method is based on the natural defense system used by bacteria to protect themselves from invading viruses. When the DNA of virus detected by bacterium, the CRISPR RNA as a guide RNA which contain a sequence, match to the invading virus…

Demonstration of the Relationship between the Surface Area to Volume ratio on the rate of Diffusion Introduction: The surface area to volume ratio determines the rate of diffusion, the larger it is the faster nutrients will diffuse. Phenolphthalein acts as an acid-base indicator, turning pink in bases like NaOH and being colorless in acids like HCl. Using agar blocks as cells, a model was made to measure the rate of diffusion of different sized pink agar blocks changing to colorless ones.…

of authority as shown the episode, “The Waters of Mars”. Time travel is destructive because when technology is relied on it can kill millions of people as shown in the stories, “The Last Question” and “Answer”. If they could not even reverse entropy or even comprehend the known universe, why would we choose to add yet another problem to this equation? Time travel is something that as mortal beings we should not even bother to understand. Not only does it surpass our intelligence level but…

The Führer, on the other hand, had a more nebulous relationship with Nietzsche’s writings. While Hitler appropriated Nietzsche’s ideas into his ideology, he never actually read his works personally. There were, however, stories and rumors spread throughout Germany regarding the two. Viennese actress Rosa Albach-Petty, for example, reportedly heard a story from a friend of a young workman named Adolf Hitler who asked to borrow Thus Spoke Zarathustra and another book by Nietzsche, saying, “‘almost…

Question 4 Answer: Smoking damages the whole body, but for this answer, I am going to focus on smoking and the changes to our respiratory tract, skin blood vessels and antioxidant levels. Respiratory tract: “(1) Nicotine constricts terminal bronchioles, which decreases airflow into and out of the lungs. (2) Carbon monoxide in smoke binds to hemoglobin and reduces its oxygen-carrying capability. (3) Irritants in smoke cause increased mucus secretion by the mucosa of the bronchial tree and…

Kuznets Hypothesis of income and inequality in context of Indian growth experience In economics, a Kuznets curve graphs the hypothesis that as an economy develops, market forces first increase and then decrease economic inequality. The hypothesis was first advanced by economist Simon Kuznets in the 1950s and '60s. One explanation of such a progression suggests that early in development, investment opportunities for those who have money multiply, while an influx of cheap rural labour to the…
