and principal component analysis (PCA). The GEI was calculated in AMMI by considering first two principal components i.e. interaction principal component axes (IPCA 1 and IPCA 2). ANOVA model was used to analyze the trait data with main effects of genotype and environment without the interaction, then, a principal component analysis was combined using the standardized residuals. These residuals comprise the experimental error and the effect of the GEI. The AMMI analytical model formula…

Genetics & Human Performance Abstract 1.1 Review 1.2 Genetics association with athletic performance When it comes to sport and performance, there is a major difference between the recreational athlete and the elite athlete. When it comes to comparing elite against elite, there can be many variable differences such as training volume, frequency and so on but what truly separates the best from the rest is those who fortunate enough to have the right mixture of Genetics with the correct training…

attacks the liver cells, this causes the liver to develop infection and inflammation. The Inflammation can cause cirrhosis and liver disease. HCV belongs to a single-strand RNA virus of the Flaviviridae family with 6 genotypes (Pears, 2010). The most common one in the United States is genotype 1. The virus incubation period last from 6-7 weeks, Most of the time people are unaware they have the virus. HCV is mostly spread through blood-borne…

For a long term, the prevailing logic in global microbial diversity has been “everything is everywhere, but nature selects”, coming from Baas Becking’s 1934 publication, “Geobiologie of inleiding tot de milieukunde” (Baas Becking, 1934). This conclusion was based on the presumption that physical, chemical, and geographical barriers play no role in the global dispersal of microbes, which aerosolise for easy distribution. In this scenario, it would be expected that any given species of microbe…

a person develops. A genotype for a specific trait is inherited from the parents. The environment can influence the phenotype through Epigenetics. The environment can physically alter a DNA sequence or it can influence gene expression. A trait that was once supposed to be present is suppressed by an environmental factor. The phenotype is often not influenced in one way or another; there is a range oh phenotypes that result from an environmental factor influencing the genotype. For example…

various genes, in turn, define the structure of the cells, regulate the synthesis of all other substances, perceive and transmit signals that cause the cell to react to changes. The set of all genes of an organism is called genotype. In all the cells of the same organism genotype is the same. Genetic engineering is the complex of technology which using molecular biological methods allow changing the structure of the genes and introducing foreign genes with the specified functions into the…

Approach: The specific aim of this Phase I project is to establish the technical merit and feasibility of detection of HCV RNA using an innovative assay called TARA. The overall work principles and design of the assays are shown in Figure 1. We will use peptide nucleic acid (PNA)-based probes to investigate in detail the signaling power and the selectivity of a transfer reaction (Figure 2). PNA is a chemically and biologically stable DNA analogue that combines an increased affinity towards DNA…

generations. The paternal side of the pedigree chart states that the first and second parents have the normal handedness or right handed. (McManus, 1992) states in his study on the Dextral and Chance Theory that the genotype DD will produce all right-handed offsprings, while the genotype DC will produce a 25% of left-handed and 75% of right-handed. Therefore, the heterozygous DC can also produce of left-handed offsprings in the next generation. Paternal side: Parent 1…

At the end of the lab, there were several different Chromaseratops offspring. It is like that because of meiosis. That process creates the cells and gives them chromosomes which become homologous pairs. From there, you can make a lot of different combinations of gametes. For this lab, there was 8 different gametes since there was 3 homologous pairs. For a human there would be way more combinations since we have 23 pairs or 46 chromosomes. Through independent assortment, you receive 2 homologous…

Name 2 psychologists who used this approach Charles Darwin. Knight Dunlap. Outline the key assumptions The main assumptions of biological psychology is that behaviour is influenced by brain anatomy, genetics and biochemistry and that there is a direct relationship between behaviour and biology. The biological approach is deterministic and falls strictly on the side of nature in the nature vs nurture discussion. At least part of the development of the brain is determined by the genes a person…
