wrapped around histones is a DNA-protein complex called chromatin that exists within the nucleus. How would spatial and temporal arrangement of these chromatin affect the gene expression in the eukaryotic genome? With the development of Chromosome Conformation Capture (3C) and the techniques that followed, it is now significantly easier to study the relationship between organization and gene expression within the nucleus. It has been used to identify long-range chromatin interactions. The Hi-C…
In order to better understand the cell cycle and the different phases of mitosis, students were expected to observe cell division in an onion root. I hypothesized that we would observe more cells in interphase since most of a cell’s life is spent in interphase. In order to make observations, we used a light microscope to view two slides of an onion root—one had been previously prepared while the other slide was made by each individual student. Furthermore, we then counted how many cells were in…

Paige Slopey Dr. Laurie Ward English II 4 November 2014 A Perspective of ALS A Perspective of ALS Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a muscular disease that affects the upper and lower motor neurons. When the motor neurons die the ability to control muscle movements is no longer there. Before the age of 65, slightly more men than women develop ALS. This gender difference disappears after age 70. ALS is more commonly known as Lou Gehrig 's disease; Lou Gehrig…
Interventions for a Patient with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Jonathan De Castro Concorde Career College Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), it is an analysis that no patients want to obtain. ALS is a gradual neurodegenerative disorder that results in damage of brain stem and spinal motor neurons and gives growth to painless weakness and muscle atrophy with few or no sensory symptoms. “Amyotrophic” stands for muscle atrophy, and “lateral sclerosis” means…
in spreading awareness of their intended mission, but efficient in spreading excitement about the fad. The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge was started in the summer of 2014 by an activist group attempting to raise money for the research of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig 's disease). A…
not everyone tell the truth. The only moment where people tell their truth feelings is when they are passing through a difficult moment. Prof. Morrie is a senior man who has 78 years old and was diagnosed with a terminal disease called Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). That is why Prof. Morrie decides to do a living Funeral…
have brought people to conditionally accept assisted suicide. In his report on physician-assisted suicide, Buchman MD CCFP FCFP (2012) states that, “This past June the BC Supreme Court rendered a decision that Gloria Taylor, a women with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, has the constitutional right to assisted suicide” (p.1169). Buchman’s report centers on the importance of physicians being informed about assisted suicide. Society, more importantly health care professionals and families of…
ALS and CTE: Its Impact on Society Concussions and head trauma have had a huge impact on the sports world, impacting the lives of many athletes by altering their state of mind. Basketball, baseball, football, soccer, boxing, and swimming are just a few examples of sports that continue to impact society in today’s world due to the amount of injuries that individuals receive. Head injuries, such as concussions and head trauma, need to be dealt with great care and precision. If an athlete is…
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis being found in the majority of athletes. As a whole, people are not seeing the true effects of athletes are struggling through. When one football game is over, fans continue into the next week and expect the same CTE-ridden athletes to endanger their life. However, this has been a national crisis we all have been blinded to for years. Changing the regulations of the game for the greater good is necessary and needs to happen quickly. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis,…
