History of biology

Sex Identification In regards to the human os coxae, Bruzek et al. worked to develop a new tool for sex estimation based on the measurements (Bruzek 2017). They used a database of known sex subjects to develop the Diagnose Sexuelle Probabiliste v2 (Bruzek 2017). The combination of different dimensions can be used to determine likely sex, and as dimensions are added the likelihood increases to higher that 90% (Bruzek 2017). This method used ten metric variables in order to identify the likely…

Throughout life, a person grows from infant to adulthood. Developmental stages and psychosocial crisis are always changing while growing from infancy to adulthood. For this assignment, I will be exploring the characters of Cecil Gaines, Louis Gaines, and Gloria Gaines. These characters are a family. Louis Gaines is the son of Cecil and Gloria Gaines. All three characters are African American, and all have lived through major events that have affected their lives, good or bad, at some point in…

NYU’s comprehensive biology program allows me the opportunity to gain a substantial and significant amount of knowledge while allowing me the freedom to peruse my other academic interest such as scientific inquiry and experimentation. NYU New York City provides undergraduate…

constant changes in secular theories and society about the beginning of the universe and of life on Earth, which give way to the idea of existentialism. Through some research, I found that he is best known for one his evolution paper, called Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution. Dobzhansky states in the article his three predictions that have been disproven in the following years after its publication. These guesses include that Darwin’s theory of the tree of life will…

Nature and Nurture Nature begins the moment conception starts. Our DNA contains our genetic information. It determines the color of our hair, skin, and eyes. It tells our genetic linked diseases and all our other biological characteristics. Nature is our entire genetic make. Nurture is the environmental influences around us, it is what affects our development to make who we are. Some believe that our nature is what makes out to be who we are. They believe that we are genetically made with our…

The Harsh Reality of Animal Testing “Think about spending your entire life like a prisoner, even though you have committed no crime.” This is a reality for animals in laboratories and is accompanied with feels of deprivation, isolation, and misery. In the United States the law allows different forms of animals to be burned, shocked, poisoned, isolated, starved, drowned, addicted to drugs, and brain damaged. No matter how painful or trivial, no experiment is prohibited and not one animal’s life…

Imagine being born with something you can not help being stereotyped as a future murderer that would hurt would it not? To assume someone will murder is to assume someone is not going to succeed. We can all do this, however, it is one’s free will. Criminal violations are a major issue in today 's society; obviously there will be wrongdoings whether one wants to believe it or not. In any case, does that imply that individuals are all bound to perpetrate wrongdoings in the event that they are…

This summer I started at ITT Tech. I started off a medical assistant student. I was going to class on Mondays and Wednesdays. I went to class for six weeks, I learned a lot. In those six weeks I had three classes, Human Anatomy and Physiology I, Medical Terminology for Health Care, and Strategies for the Technical Professional. In anatomy and Physiology I we learned the human body using a systems approach, focusing on the integumentary system, bones and skeleton tissues, joints, and muscles,…

Family, a word that holds more than just one meaning in our society. While many people believe that family are the people that are biologically related to you such as your mother or father who share the same household, this is not necessarily true. For instance, in cases such as adoption, the people taking care of the individual might not necessarily be considered biological family, however they care for the individual as if they were his real family. Family is a word that should be more…

their life, it helps in explaining why they look and behave as they do in addition to showing why some different plants or animals have similar behaviors or morphologies (Neal, 2004). Among the examples of application of plant and animal evolution in biology today is the organizing principle. In this, clearer revelations can be achieved, establishing that all living organisms (plants and animals) existing today are descendants of those that lived in the past. It aids in understanding why and how…
