    herself to talk about this crazy geneticist who usually gets an “A” in his writings. After reading this book she is about to explain why this author gets an “A” in writings and an “F” in genetics. By using various example Lewis wants to prove her audience on why the book is wrong with the information about genetics and she is building her argument in a convincing way. From her usage of evidence in the argument, one could tell that she has some kind of experience in the science field. She makes a…

    nurture has been an active debate among the psychological community for decades. Nature, a side of this debate, is defined by the genetic code of a human, which utilizes DNA and biological connections in order to accurately demonstrate the importance of the development of a human being. The aspect of nature specifically centers on features that are innate. For instance, our genetic make-up, unchanging attributes, and physical predispositions are examples of factors that nature examines during…

    Unit 18 - Genetics (Assignment 1) Task 1. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA for short) is genetic material that carry’s the majority of information for development growth and many other functions. DNA is located in the nucleus of a cell. DNA has a double helix structure and is formed by a series of bases these are Adenine , Cytosine , Guanine and Thymine. These bases have a basic pattern when forming DNA. Adenine will only join to Thymine when in DNA and Cytosine will only join to Guanine when in…

    natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow. Mutations are the only force that can change the genetic code and without them the other forces wouldn’t happen. When a mutation takes place in a sex cell, it can them be passed down through generations. Natural selection was first brought about by Charles Darwin. It is the belief that the better an organism adapts to their environment, the more likely they are to live longer as well as reproduce. Genetic flow is the spreading of genetic material…

    DNA had been known to the the scientific community since 1869 but was not considered to carry any sort of genetic material. In 1952 there was a buzz in the scientific community about what proteins actually were for. This would lead to the Hershey - Chase Experiment. It would not go on to prove that DNA was what carried our genes, however it would be influential in changing many minds of the scientific community. Others would demonstrate their findings in different experiment years after through…

    of evolution is widely debated topic. However there is a wide variety of evidence that supports evolution. By studying the fossil record, comparative anatomy, genetics and natural selection scientists have been able to support Charles Darwin’s theory (evolution). This report will focus on evidence from the fossil record as well as genetics. The fossil record is the collection of information that shows the occurrence and evolution of living organisms through geological time from fossils. A…

    Dawkins pointed out that even though most of the genetic codes of all species are identical, only a very small fraction of these codes are differentiated for each species. As a result, these findings of the identical genetic codes can be linked to Dawkins’ statement based on this conclusion: “All earthly living things are certainly descended from a single ancestor” (Dawkins 12). We can trace…

    to study genetics for more than a hundred years. Thomas Hunt Morgan, in the early 1900’s, used the heritable traits of a common species of fruit fly to develop our understanding of genetics. Morgan was the first to show through experiments that genes were located on chromosomes. He also found that certain fruit fly traits like eye color are found on the same chromosomes that also determine their sex. Fruit flies have several characteristics that make them excellent subjects for genetic studies.…

    Danzi Engoron BI356 Genetics Currently, there are more than 600 genetic disorders known, all caused by defective genes. Genetic disorders result from the accumulation of the harmful substance in the body or from an inability of the body to produce or utilize essential substances that influence development and function. Most of the time genetic disorders are passed down through family, however, sometimes they can also be due to gene mutation caused by a combination of both genetic changes and…
