Creation Science Versus Evolution Science One of the most debated subjects in our society is the issue of evolution science verses creationism. The debate of Ruse versus Laudan gives an overview of the major issues between the two topics. While Ruse and Laudan both argue against Act 590, which, states that a balanced treatment of creationism and evolution science should be taught in the public school system, they drastically vary in viewpoints. The aim of creation science is to provide an…

Mitosis & Meiosis are the two major cell division processes. We know that mitosis is used for fulfilling a body’s cell division requirements. However, meiosis is use solely used for one purpose in a human body. It is used for the production of gametes cells, also known as the sex cells. Mitosis and meiosis are quite similar in processes with very few differences. One of the differences is that mitosis has one division whereas there are two divisions in meiosis. This is the reason meiosis is also…

Laboratory Exercise #12: Human Genome Project Elena Zachel Part 1: The Human Genome Project 1.The main goals of the HGP (Human Genome Project) are to establish all the 20,000-25,000 genes in human DNA, find out and understand the order of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA, save the information of human DNA in databases, enhance tools for data analysis, move similar technologies to the private sector, which means that it would not be owned by the government, and last…

Georgia. The questioner before the intervention included questions, “[asking] explicitly about “spitting out foods,” “vomiting during meals,” “refuses to swallow,” and “problems chewing.” It is likely that the significant correlation is due to this homology between items on the two different questionnaires” (p.…

Offender profiling is used more often than not. Offender profiling can be defined as characterizing an offender by examining the characteristics of their offences. Profiling in general is the process in which we use the available information given about a crime, a crime scene, and or a victim in order to create a profile of the unknown offender. Of course, offender profiling cannot tell law enforcement who exactly committed such offence. It can potentially help us make predictions about the…

QquickC change mutagenesis PCR (QC-PCR). The former is popular for introducing multiple mutations in the gene. Degenerate oligonucleotides are used as primers in PCR to amplify fragments of the gene. Each amplified fragment contains a region of homology with the appropriate adjacent gene fragment. Fragments are mixed, similarly to DNA shuffling, in the absence of primer and allowed to extend until the full length gene has been amplified. Though this technique has proven successful, it can…

70 Of these operons, only three, bpeAB-oprA, bpeEF-oprC and amrAB-oprA have been extensively characterized for their impact on clinical treatment.71–73 There has been relatively little investigation into the diverse cell processes suggested by homology comparisons of these Bp operons to other species, including efflux of environmental metals and secondary metabolites. However, mounting evidence suggests that these complexes play a large role in development of MDR phenotypes and may influence…

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a rare single gene disorder affecting 1 in 3,500 boys. The muscles of the affected person weaken and waste away (atrophy), usually beginning in the lower limbs and then spreading to the upper body as the disease progresses (1). This disorder is caused by recessive mutations in a gene called dystrophin. The dystrophin gene is located on the X chromosome (Xp21.2). Because the X-linked disorder is recessive it occurs mostly in males because males who inherit the…

All of the isolates shown in Table 1 were resistance to S. aureus and were considered antibiotic producers. However, only isolate 12 and 16 showed resistant to the unknown Gram-negative organism. All of the antibiotic producers were then tested against Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas putida, Acinetobacter baylyi, Escherichia coli, and Enterobacter aerogenes by the streak-plate method, which can be seen in Table 2. As demonstrated in Table 2, none of the antibiotic producers were found to be…

Protein-protein interaction can be defined as the interactions between different protein molecules within the cellular organization leading to formation of large protein complex which is modulated by non-covalent interactions such as hydrophobic interaction, hydrogen bond, van der Waals interactions etc. Protein-protein interaction plays an important role in functioning of body’s significant mechanism such as replication, transcription, translation, signal transduction, cell cycle, etc. Thus,…
