Gene-environment correlation

A collection of genes that share the same significant features is a family gene. For example, close relative such as brothers and sister share similar sequences of DNA. 2. SNPs ( Single nucleotide Polymorphism) is the greatest mutual form of genetic variation between humans (Thieman,2013). As a result, it makes up to ninety percent of human genetic variation and if SNPs happens in a gene sequence, it can cause a change in protein structure which can…

in the book applied directly to our Biology class. Some topics that were covered in lecture can be directly applied to the book. Matt Ridley talks about many important things in his novel; however, I feel as if the chapters of life, species, and environment are the most relatable to lecture as well as our biology class as a whole. First and foremost, Ridley addresses life in his first chapter. This chapter consisted of the evolution of RNA to DNA. RNA was first on this planet Earth and it was…

Explore Correlation and Regression Using the explore function within SPSS gives a clearer view of how the data is represented. The explore function helps to assess the variables within the investigation by visually identifying various aspects of the data, therefor revealing the true nature of the data (Field, 2013). For example, the data in the Chamorro-Premuzic.sav file can be evaluated in a number of ways, for example analyzing the data based on the gender grouping allow one to visualize the…

will select for the disease that will kill you after several decades rather than allowing a disease that will kill you much sooner. One notable example would be the correlation of the Black Plague and hemochromatosis. While the Black plague ran amok throughout…

In his breakthrough article “Inventing the University”, David Bartholomae (1986) discusses the problem undeveloped writers have when it’s time to write for a class, they must use the discourse of the scholarly community they are speaking to. Particularly, Bartholomae goes to say that a student, “have to appropriate a specialized discourse, and they have to do this as though they were easily and comfortably one with their audience, as though they were members of the academy, or historians or…

it is a weak correlation, it indicates that an increase in cultivation year rate, the production follows in tandem. For example, the maximum rate of production (12 tons/ha) is mostly happening in maximum years of cultivation (year four). Conversely, the correlation of respondent age group and annual income is a negative relationship, which is -0.746. This is interpreted that as one variable increases in value, the second variable decreases in value. By the negative value of correlation, it can…

cut out for them; in order to make a case, they decided to examine Waldroup’s DNA for the Monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) gene, and found that he had the particular gene variant that correlated with violent behavior. It was clear that the…

evolution, Annelids now also have similar neoblasts (Rink 2012). Research also suggests that the evolution of sponges may take a part in this as well. From this it can be concluded that not only flatworms contain this gene but other organisms as well, furthering the insight on human gene research for stem…

skinned people produce mostly pheomelanin and darker skinned people produce eumelanin. The sizes of melanin particles differ among individuals and the number and size of these particles are what ultimately determines skin colour. More than 6 different genes code for this trait which is why skin tone varies from light to dark amongst offspring. This is what many scientists have concluded is the deciding factor of skin coloration and yes there is merit in this theory however this analysis will…

being there for a dear friend suffering from stage 4 colon cancer and seeing her condition worsen, my appreciation for the promising world of genetics has amplified. The need for more research on the molecular staging of cancer for example or the correlation between phenotype and the discrete genetic mutations present at a particular pre-malignant stage, will lead to more accurate prognosis, therapeutic intervention, and treatment targeted for a precise genetic profile. With these theories in…
