Freedom of expression

Professor Mustapha Of some 4,000 genes in Escherichia coli (E. coli), only a handful are expressed at a time1. This regulation in gene expression helps cells function more efficiently. To provide the cell with energy, glucose is the most highly desired source. However, in the absence of glucose and the presence of other sugars, operons regulate gene expression to code for enzymes that can help utilize the sugar as energy in the cell1. Galactose is a monosaccharide that is often a byproduct of…

The question of whether or not GMOs should be accepted hasn’t existed for very long compared to other issues; however, the idea of genetic modification has become highly controversial since the 90’s. GMOs, or genetically modified organisms, contain genes from a different organisms in order to achieve a desired characteristic. Although concerns regarding GMOs highlight issues such as effects on the environment, solving world hunger, pesticides, and health issues, these issues aren’t completely…

What is Cancer? Cancer is formed when malignant tumors are formed inside one’s body. Malignant tumors are defined as “ a term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues.” Quoted from https://www.cancer.gov/publications/dictionaries/cancer-terms/def/malignancy Tumors are also defined as a mass of tissues which also called lumps. These tumors are formed when the normal process of cells dividing itself was disrupted because normally, our body signals…

Emma Robinson Eden Newman Honors English 3 October 2016 Cancer Cancer is a disease caused by an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in parts of the body. Cancer results from an abnormal growth of malignant cells. We also have genes in our body which control how all cells work. Each gene has a certain job or task. If one gene has abnormalities or does not function properly, all of the other genes are changed. This creates an abnormal protein. Abnormal proteins sendoff different…

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are organisms in which the genetic material (DNA) has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally (Genetically Modified, 2006). GMOs are produced by forcing DNA from one organism into another. Soybeans, corn, canola, plums, and rice are few of the GMOs occurring in our world. Products continue to be developed and experimented in laboratories. Naturally modified organisms bring up the question about GMOs and if there is a difference between the two.…

Sirtuins and Histone deactylases (HDACs) Eukaryotic DNA is packed in a high level structure called chromatin, resulting from the assembly of an elementary unit, the nucleosome, and an octameric structure obtained from eight proteins called histones [1]. Histone deacetylation is a reversible process whereby histone and non-histone protein transfer the acetyl moiety from acetyl co-enzyme A (CoA) to lysines while histone acetylation is the direct opposite process whereby acetyl groups are removed…

Confusion by the man sitting behind the desk and the other two seem interested in the conversation. What type of nonverbal communication codes are being used to deliver the message(s)? There are body movements, gestures, eye contact, facial expressions, and personal space. What effect does each message have on the other people in the image? While the man behind the desk is talking the other two are very intrigue by the message he is delivering. What nonverbal communication skills…

Nonverbal communication is communication through gestures, eye contact, touch, and facial expressions. Nonverbal communication provides us with hints to individual’s internal feelings. It’s important that the messages conveyed through both nonverbal and verbal communication are clear so that messages are expressed appropriately. For example, if you are angry then your facial expressions should match your tone of voice however, if you state your not angry (verbal communication) while you are…

Final Exam Bacteria’s gene is only coding (makes a protein) meaning one gene equals one protein. Bacteria’s life history is a short lifespan, reproduces quickly in large number of individuals. Griffith finds that bacterial cells can be transformed. (Raven) There are two forms of bacteria, one that causes pneumonia and a nonvirulent that does not. The nonvirulent lacks enzymes to manufacture the coat of polysaccharide. Griffith performed a series of experiments with these types of bacteria on…

Everyday we use nonverbal communication, we may not think we always do, but it is impossible not to. We all are guilty of nonverbal communication, because even reading this essay shows that you are focused and do not want to be interrupted. One type of nonverbal communication that I find most noticeable and interesting is body movement or kinesics. Body movement has five roles that play in our relationships with ourselves. Those roles are: body orientation, posture, gesture, face and eyes.…
