Plants reproduce by asexual reproduction or pollination in most cases, they do this in order to make seeds. Seeds are the embryonic, or unborn, state of a plant. These seeds are made to carry the genetic material and make new plants. In most cases a plant wants its seeds to be spread of moved to a new place not close to the parent plant, this is done through seed dispersal. There are many types of seed dispersal for example wind, water, animals, and other biotic and abiotic factors. One of the…

Chapter 01: Introduction 1.1. Xenobiotics The term xenobiotic is derived from Greek words, “xenos”, meaning strange or foreign, and “bios”, meaning life. Thus xenobiotics are exogenous chemicals which includes natural and synthetic chemicals. These can be pesticides, chemical vapors from automobiles, industrial chemicals, plastics, secondary plant metabolites, toxins produced by plants, molds and animals, food additives etc. Xenobiotics are considered as pollutants, but all the pollutants are…

e Three - Research and draft 1 Question 1 1.1) Give a possible diagnose and name the etiological agent involved. Schistosomiasis caused by Schistosoma haematobium. 1.2) Name the intermediate and definite host of this particular parasites mentioned in 1.1 Intermediate host - Freshwater snails Definite host - Humans, primates (Tierney et al., 2007) 1.3) Discuss the life cycle of this parasite mentioned in 1.1. According to Weerakoon et al.(2015), the schistosome parasite has a life cycle…

1. INTRODUCTION Our mind comprises of 100 billion neurons and a trillion glia [1], which is a conservative structure of tissue measuring approx 3 lakes. The mind houses our mindfulness, our gathered encounters isolated and broke down and interpreted into a code by combined fleeting projections, and put away in a system including the working of cerebrum. Stroke has enhanced our present comprehension of the cerebrum more than some other ailment. There are numerous routes in which neurological…

3.0 MATERIALS AND METHODS 3.1 Materials The main material that used was sodium dodecyl sulphate and Zebrafish embryo. SDS was purchased from Sigma Aldrich with concentration of 99.95%. The embryo of the zebrafish larva was obtained by breeding the adult zebrafish in the laboratory. Furthermore, the other basic materials that was used including aquarium tanks, breeding tanks, water filter, fish food pellet and Instant Ocean Salt. While for the measurement tools that used were pH meter, cylinder,…

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be defined as a subfield of computer science closely tied with biology and cognitive science. It is concerned with computing techniques and models that simulate and investigate intelligent behavior. Research into artificial intelligence builds upon our understanding of the brain, its evolutionary development, and provides insights into the way the brain works, as well as the larger process of biological evolution. Artificial Intelligence…

whole human genome would have been 9000,000,000 dollars. The main objectives of human genome project were :- 1. To determine the number of all base pairs in human genome and to sequence them 2. To identify the functions of all genes present in human genome 3. To identify genes responsible for genetic disorders 4. To establish the susceptibility or resistance to various…

Justin Dubler August 31, 2015 Mrs. Werle Period #1-2 AP Biology Summer Assignment Survival of the Sickest Big Idea 1: The process of evolution drives the diversity and unit of life. Passage 1: “Our genetic makeup has been adapting in response to where we live and what the weather’s like. The food we eat has evolved to cope with the organisms that eat it, and we’ve evolved to cope with that. We’ve looked at the way we’ve evolved to resist or manage the threat posed by specific infectious diseases…

relatives. More modern techniques of plant breeding offered the ability to introduce new traits to a crop by crossing individuals with members of other species, increasing the extent of potential variation in parental lines. Through recombination the genes that confer a desired trait can be carried by an F1 hybrid for the introduction to the crop species by successive rounds of back-crossing. For example, Triticale, a now widely used animal feed, is the result of a forced cross made to create a…
