understanding of DNA along with cellular chemistry. The following three subjects are very critical to be able to understand evolution: natural selection, Mendelian genetics, and DNA. The modern evolutionary synthesis explains how the discoveries of Gregor Mendel go hand in hand with that of Charles Darwin. The discovery of evolutionary principles first took place in western Europe. The discovery was made possible by the major advances in scientific thinking. Aside from this, it must also be…

A scientific theory is a type of theory used in the scientific method. The term theory can mean something different, depending on who you ask.Most people use the word 'theory' to mean an idea or hunch that someone has, but in science the word 'theory' refers to the way that we interpret facts. Every scientific theory starts as a hypothesis. A scientific hypothesis is a suggested ending for an unexplained thing that happened. According to the Dictionary, a hypothesis is an idea that hasn't…

and Watson had the honor to publish their discoveries in “Molecular Structure of Nucleic Acids: A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid” in April-May 1953 to great acclaim and praise. Johann Gregor Mendel:…

We have seen many observations and theories that are labeled as scientific; we have also seen many ideas or hypothesis as being described as non scientific. We need to compare and contrast about the differences between something that is science and non science. Scientists describe non science as pseudo-scientific. This is where demarcation comes in to play as a role. Demarcation is when we distinguish between science and pseudo-science. There is a slight problem when using demarcation; There are…

that uses genes to treat or prevent disease. In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient's cells instead of using drugs or surgery. The father of genetics is Gregor Mendel, a late 19th century scientist and Augustinian friar. Mendel studied "trait inheritance," patterns in the way traits are handed down from parents to offspring. Genetic processes work in combinations with an organisms environment and experiences to influence development…

My paraphrasing: It has always been told that one gets one’s genes from mom and dad. A child looks the way he does because he inherited genes from both parents, explaining why he does not look identical to a single parent. This notion, that Mendel and others widely accepted for the last hundred of years, is actually not entirely accurate. Rather than parents contributing the same number of genes to their offspring, it has been discovered that some of the genes the children receive only are…

Day 1: Teacher will provide printed, fill in the blank Cornell notes, which include the warm up. For students needing accommodations they may staple the worksheet to their journal page to write on. Students who do not need accommodations may draw lines in their journal to make two columns needed to replicate the Cornell notes. Warm up: Write some of your physical traits. Example: Eye color. Teacher will review the warm up with the students. The teacher will choose a few students to share their…

In the past years many scientist have undergone hours of research to finding what traits were passed down many family generations and the history behind genetics. Gregor Mendel came up with a theory of inheritance, he acted out on experiments that explained how dominant traits were more likely to be passed down than recessive ones. Another theory that came to place was in 1859 Charles Darwin introduced a theory of evolution among animals and plants and which he called it Darwinism. His theory…

to breed rapidly, survive in laboratory controlled conditions and have observable genetic mutations that enables different phenotypic differences. Dihybrid crosses shows lineages of two observable characteristics in a species, it was found by Gregor Mendel. This allowed scientists to conclude that genetic information can be inherited from one generation to the other. In this experiment a dihybrid cross involving wild type male drosophilae (cn+/cn+; bw+/bw+) and cinnabar brown female drosophilae…

One of the greatest arguments in the food world nowadays includes products that have been genetically modified foods. Consumer supporters have been forcing for regulations demanding companies to label foods that carries ingredients that have been modified for several of purposes, for example, making them impervious to herbicides. Currently, voters in Colorado and Oregon voted down for standards to need labeling. Other states, however, have accepted labeling, and the Drug and Food agency website…
