means is, that I used a trend line to find an average, but if I was solving a different situation I might have used the trend line differently. Also, it is enjoyable using trend lines because it is fairly simple to find the slope and then turn it into y-intercept form. Hopefully, it is clear that trend lines can be used in real world…

Silent Generation Every generation has their own specific defining moment that makes everyone in the future look back on them in a certain way. Each generation is judged and examined by how they respond to that one defining moment, and in many cases are ripped apart because they didn’t live up to the expectations set out for them. These defining moments can be large scale for some like a World War or the Great Depression, but for others they go seemingly unnoticed until way after that…

The condition was named Kleinfelter’s Syndrome, though what brought about these symptoms was…

Down Syndrome is the most prevalent and recognizable chromosomal abnormality in live born children, with a current prevalence of 2.8 out of 1000 children born with the genetic disorder [1]. In 1866, John Langdon Down termed the condition “mongolism” before it was later termed Down syndrome in honor of his discovery. Nearly a century later, geneticists Jerome Lejeune and Patricia Jacobs reported the chromosomal abnormality for the first time in humans to be secondary to a trisomy of chromosome 21…

Triple X Syndrome (Trisomy X) What is a genetic disorder? A Genetic disorder is inherited conditions caused by a DNA abnormality. Genetic disorders are caused by problems by one or more abnormalities in genomes. Usually apparent at birth. Genetic disorders are usually rare and impact one in several thousands, if not millions each day. For example Triple X syndrome affects 1 of 1,000 of females.

It can happen to every female, but it is not that common. Many women may never be diagnosed because some symptoms are not noticeable or there are none…
