The antagonistic pleiotropy theory was proposed by Williams in 1957, whereby Williams suggest a specific type of genetic inter-trait linkage, pleiotropy, as an evolutionary explanation for senescence (Williams 2001). Pleiotropy, or inter-trait linkage exists in a way to make it difficult for the evolution process to remove an individually adverse trait, such as aging, without simultaneously removing one or more beneficial traits. To explain further, inter-trait linkage is the phenomenon where…

James Watson Without the help of James Watson, we would not know nearly as much about DNA as we do today, with his help he opened a new world of possibilities for people everywhere in knowing more and more about genetics. Today I am going to tell you a little bit about his life and his accomplishment that go along with it. James Dewey Watson was born in the city of Chicago on April 6th, 1928. As a young child, he spent most of his youth Chicago attending Horace Mann grammar school he stayed…

Franklin, but she didn't understand its importance and true meaning, so all the credit goes to James Watson and Francis Crick. The Double Helix was founded by Rosalind Franklin. In the article The Francis Crick Papers: The Discovery of the Double Helix, 1951-1953 it states that, “Her evidence demonstrated that the two sugar-phosphate backbones lay on the outside of the molecule, confirmed Watson and Crick's conjecture that the backbones formed a double helix, and revealed to Crick that they…

contained genetic material because it was not seen as complex due to the fact not much was known about it yet, so many presumed proteins were the genetic material of life. It was not until scholars such as Frederick Griffith, Meselson-Stahl, James Watson, Francis Crick, Maurice Wilkins, Rosalind Franklin, Avery, McCarty, Erwin Chargaff and many more conducted experiments that would expose astonishing discovering that will lead to the understanding of DNA also known as the Race for DNA. It began…

blacks and white was imminent and would result in great power for the family. They should instigate the war by killing rich white people and trying to make it look like the works of the blacks. The main people in his family are Manson himself, Charles Watson, Steve Grogan, Patricia Krenwinkel, Squeaky Fromme, Paul Watkins, Catherine Share, Bobby Beausoleil, Mary Brunner, Linda Kasabian, Susan Atkins, and Leslie Wan Houten. The people who were involved in the killings are Manson, Susan Atkins,…

Charles Manson a leader of the Manson Family, the cult. The Manson family was known for their crimes in the late 1960’s. Murdering seven people, including pregnant actress Sharon Tate.

What he said went. Charles believe he knew…

security had also heard the gunshots and he proceeded to call the authorities. “Early the next morning the at 8:00 am the housekeeper found the brutally murdered bodies” (Crime library). According to the book Helter Skelter, manson had ordered Charles Watson, Susan Atkins, Linda Kasabian, and Patricia Krenwinkel to go to the Tate’s home. “He had ordered them to go in and to kill everyone inside of the home. He had also ordered them to kill them as gruesomely as they could” (Crime…

Genetic Engineering Genetic Engineering is the modification of something’s genetic makeup by using artificial means. There are many benefits of which this could be used. Many of these are not necessary which is why there should be limits. The people should be allowed to use genetic engineering but the government should limit the use to only be allowed for serious medical reasons. The reasons why genetic engineering should not be allowed for anything but medical purposes is that the rich would…

Wilkins, Watson, and Crick received the Nobel Prize, but in reality, was Rosalind Franklin’s data and photos of DNA that led to their discovery. They couldn’t have done it without her x-ray crystallography. Regardless of the discovery has had serious significance…

A small village in a rural area struggles with crop failure that affects everyone. The children are unable to focus in school on the topic as their stomachs rumble. Families struggle to put food on the table, farmer’s fields are bare of life. In a large city fresh food is scarce and overpriced, the frost came early this year. Without genetically engineering food, harsh weather conditions, and sudden catastrophes are able to wipe out thousands of necessary crops. Though the usage of genetic…
