1ml per sample. The samples were incubated at 4⁰C overnight. The following day, the samples were washed with DPBS at 4⁰C and then washed with 2ml 1 perm buffer twice. Anti-mouse Foxp3- PE Ab was added in a 1:100 dilution for 30 mins at 4⁰C. The samples were washed with perm buffer and resuspend in DPBS for flow cytometry analysis.

The theory of evolution has been argued over for many years. This theory states that all living things have a common ancestor and each living organism has adapted and evolved through natural selection. Many people disagree with this theory because they feel that the theory of evolution has removed God from his rightful place. These people who did not believe in evolution came up with creationism, which says the universe and living organisms were created by a celestial being rather than natural…

Alex and Me is a book written by Irene M. Pepperberg, a scientist who mainly focusses on animal behavior, animal cognition, and comparative psychology. Pepperberg was born on April 1, 1949 in Brooklyn, New York. She received her M.A. and Ph.D. from Harvard University and her B.S. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After this, she became a psychology professor at Brandeis University, where she also became involved in wildlife conservation. Alex and Me is about a parrot who becomes very…

This gene regulates serotonin, which affects your mood, in the brain. However, a certain version of this gene does not have the ability to respond to the calming effects of serotonin. Astonishingly, this specific version is found in several serial killers, which was discovered from Fallon’s study. Moreover, this proves that it is likely that serial killers are created based on several biological factors that are evident in the gene makeup of fellow killers. In addition…

There are many diseases in the world that are deadly but acted as an evolutionary advantage in the past to help us, humans survive, reproduce and evolve into the species that we are now. For example, in Survival of the Sickest by Doctor Sharon Moalem and Jonathan Prince, it discusses diseases such as hemochromatosis, diabetes, and favism or glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency which all are deadly but helped humans survive in the past. Hemochromatosis is an inherent…

Yasmin Mendoza 9-26-17 5th hour Process Paper What is an Ant Farm? An Ant Farm is known as a project to study an ant colony and the behavior each ant carries. There are many ways to start one of these colonies and many ways to maintain them. This could be a really cool science project or even a type of “pet” to have. The first thing you need is a formicarium, which is a type of transparent box thin enough to study the ants and for the ants to make their tunnels. You need three types of dirt…

Have you ever wondered if you were the same person as you were when you were a baby? The nature and nurture debate is about whether you are raised by genetics or if you are raised by the environment around you. Nature is the genes that run in your family. Nurture is how you were raised by the environment. Nurture is more powerful because it affects the child’s mind set. (NICE!) Nature is genetics, and it makes us who we are. Take the Jim twins for example they’re names were both Jim, also they…

superior life. The separation casted between “valids” and “invalids”, suggests society values one’s place and purpose over an individual’s personality and qualities. Gattaca’s tagline “there’s no gene for the human spirit” contradicts the film itself, as a person's self-worth cannot be measured by their genes. However, throughout the film, the dystopian society is isolated into two groups depending on what you are. Niccol outlines that no matter who you are, whether you are genetically perfect…

Professor Fowler The Mode of Inheritance in Nicotiana Tabacu seeds and Albinism Introduction In plants, the chloroplast is an essential organelle for a plant cell’s primary metabolism. Productions such as CO2 fixation, manufacture of carbon skeletons and fatty acids, and synthesis of amino acids from inorganic nitrogen that is important for a plant to live and thrive. (Liu, Li, & Cheng, 2016) In addition, the chloroplast is responsible for producing the color pigment in plants because…

G: In sci-fi films, directors highlight the importance of symbolic codes in promoting ideas in such films. R: In the 1997 film, Gattaca, the director Andrew Nicoll, presents viewers with a seemingly utopian film, where the people featured in the film are genetically engineered to create a perfect society where their genetics determine their jobs and social status. O: Nicoll uses symbolic codes such as a crucifix/infinite symbol, a staircase shaped as a genetic ladder and bars to…
