The use of animal carcasses in make up Makeup is now trending more than ever, “currently there are a lot of different make up brands and products that ranges from high end to drug store”. (Oddee.net) Most make up comes with a list of ingredients on the wrapper or container, but do we really know what is in our make up? This document seeks to highlight the fact that major ingredients in some of the makeup products we use are indeed animal carcasses. This document serves to further…

What is Genetics? Genetic Diseases A genetic disease involves an abnormality in genetic material. Otherwise, there could be mutations or changes in an organism’s DNA. A genetic disease can be inherited through a family. There are three types of disorders: Chromosomal Disorders, Single Gene Disorders, and Multifactorial Disorders. Chromosomal Disorders are caused by too many chromosomes, not enough chromosomes, or the chromosome structures are abnormal. Polymelia is considered as a…

Sickle Cell Anemia is an inherited blood disorder that mostly affects people of African ancestry, but it can also occur in other ethnic groups such as Middle East and Mediterranean descent (National Institute of Health). The disease affects the hemoglobin molecule in the red blood cells. Hemoglobin helps with carrying oxygen from the lungs and delivering it to different parts of the body. The mutation of this disease makes the cells become abnormal and irregular shaped. As a result, the abnormal…

identical base pairing, proposing that adenine always paired with thymine, and guanine with cytosine. They suggested that when arranged at a certain angle, hydrogen bonds form between the pairs of bases. Once they had become aware of Chargaff’s results which he published in 1951 stating that the proportions of the bases in DNA showing a standard ratio: there was always the same proportion of adenine as thymine and of guanine as cytosine. Watson and Crick built scale models of the components of…

The discovery of deoxyribonucleic acid, also known as DNA, was a ground breaking discovery for the scientific community. Its discovery made ground breaking impacts that would only prove to be more detrimental to society with time. On top of the high prominence in the scientific field, the discovery would also go on over to make waves in the criminal justice field as well. The discovery of deoxyribonucleic acid was not a discovery made by any one given person, but was instead a collaborative…

A nucleotide is made up of three things. It consists of a nitrogenous base made up of either adenine, cytosine, guanine or thymine. The nucleotide also contains either the sugar deoxyribose or ribose. Finally, it contains one or more phosphate groups. Nucleotides bond together and form a double helix, which was discovered by scientists Francis Crick and James Watson in 1956. Sucrose molecules contain a number of polar oxygen-hydrogen bonds, each with an effective positive or negative charge. In…

basically are building blocks of deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA. nucleotides are made up of three subunits. A nitrogen base, a sugar molecule, and a phosphate group. The nitrogen bases can be adenine, guanine, cytosine, or thymine. Adenine may only pair with thymine, and cytosine will only pair with guanine when being created . When there is an error in replication, a deletion of genetic information, or insertion or adding of genetic information, it is a genetic mutation. Genetic mutations do no…

Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids are large biological molecules that play a major role in relation to the structure and function in plants and animals. These organic molecules consist of many examples and functions. Each biological molecule has a unique function and emergent properties that helps contribute to the cellular structure in both plants and animals. These biological molecules are known as macromolecules because they are large and are composed of thousands of atoms.…

Then, 100% - 60% = 40%. That would comprise both cytosine and guanine. Therefore, the percentage for cytosine is 20%. 4. How are chromosomes formed? Chromosomes are formed when the DNA are packed or coiled around the protein histones to get ready for its replication. 5. List the different proteins and enzymes taking…

a linear arrangement of building blocks named nucleotides and bases. The four types of bases are adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine which are each represented by the letters A, T, C, and G. The two strands are tied together by the attraction between the four bases. Adenine is only attracted to thymine therefore forming a A-T pair and cytosine is only attracted guanine forming a C-G pair. These two pairs of bases form a bridge across the two strands making the double helix…
