Genotype

There is no question that humanity has made leaps and bounds since our initial creation. Advances in science and medicine have put humans on top of the food chain and have made us untouchable by any other species. However, as humanity continues to push the limits of nature, a problem of whether or not it is ethical to do so seems to take center stage. A current issue that is prevalent in todays society is genetic engineering of humans. This is the ability to design a fetus outside of normal…

1. INTRODUCTION Human mind, behaviour, feelings and thought are interested study. By explores the brain and the nervous system in relation to human behaviour, it helps to find ways of changing undesirable behaviour that linked with health. There are six basic perspectives that influence the psychologist’s study. One of the most important perspectives is biological psychology. This field of psychology is a powerful energy in modern society and its influence of human and animal behaviour. In…

In my opinion, B.F. Skinner was a highly influential theorist in modern psychology. His work was hugely beneficial and has also been studied for years. Skinner was highly educated and know to be pretty straightforward about things. His theories have managed to help us in many ways. He studied the behavior patterns of many different living organisms including birds. Skinners most important work was the study of behaviorism and much of his work has been published in journals. He also wrote many…

Introduction Moro et al., 2000 described an increased antimicrobial drug resistance of Escherichia coli in the intestinal flora of swine as a response to heat stress. This observation was gathered over the course of four studies. Throughout the four studies, finisher pigs (85 kg) were utilized from a common source of swine which had not been supplemented fed antimicrobials for the previous ten years. Animals were randomly selected from a single pen and transported to the research facility 30d…

Introduction: Lactase is an enzyme that helps to digest lactose, a sugar found in many dairy products (U.S National Library of Medicine 2013). This enzyme is made through instructions provided by the LCT gene. Lactase is primarily produced and found in the cells that line the walls of the small intestine. At the brush border, an area where microvilli absorb nutrients from food as it passes by, lactose breaks down lactose into simpler sugars like glucose through a hydrolysis reaction (Biology…

Gene Mutations Gene mutation is a permanent change in the DNA sequence that makes up a gene. Mutations are affected by the change in the DNA sequence. There can be many different types of mutations. (Department of Genetics, Stanford School of Medicine, Para I) Some examples are point mutations, missense mutation, nonsense mutation, frame shift mutation, silent mutation, deletion, insertion, and duplication. (US National Library of Medicine) These mutations can either occur naturally or actually…

Physical Description: Fully grown Tasmanian devils are typically the size of a medium sized dog, males weighing between 7.7–13.0 kilograms and females weighing between 4.5–9 kilograms They are stocky, muscular marsupials measuring around 60cm in length with strong fore legs and proportionately weak hind legs. Tasmanian devils are covered in a black coat accented with variable white markings on the chest, shoulders and rump. Devils are not fast animals, however, their high stamina and endurance…

Selective breeding is the human interference in the genetic transfer in animals and plants. Humans take the idea of natural selection where instead of the environment selecting for the alleles that are best suited for the organism to survive in the wild, humans select rare desirable phenotypic traits in organisms and breed them with each other in order produce an offspring containing those traits. Desirable traits include leaner meat in animals, or better quality milk in cows for commercial uses…

Diabetes Mellitus Type II There are two type of diabetes, type 1 and type 2. Diabetes mellitus type 2 is affects 29 million Americans, 86 million are living with pre-diabetes and it is the seventh leading cause of death (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2016). Diabetes type 2 has almost doubled in the past two decades and it is more common than type 1 diabetes. Type I diabetes patients do not produce insulin but type 2-diabetes produce insulin but not enough for the body’s needs.…

In a recent article, "What Doctors Should Ignore," written by Moises Velasquez-Manoff who is an American writer for the health, science and environment section of The New York Times, addresses the issues in medicine pertaining to doctors using race as a basis of aiding patients. Velasquez-Manoff argues that doctors shouldn't rely on race, because race is socially constructed ideology that creates problems due to the fact that it is self-identified and based on physical features, which history…
