setting the location and the eerie town. The visuals are good and the description of the town sets the tone for this thriller. One already gets the sense of being isolated. The story quickly introduces Rhiannon and Sydney. Rhiannon is established as the main heroine. The introduction of both of them is rather ordinary. There’s nothing that stands out or makes a statement about whom they are and there’s nothing that makes the audience remember them. Try to find a way to make them standout. One…

The relationship between codons and amino acids is known as the genetic code where it defines how sequences of codons specify which amino acid will be added next. Ribosomes are large structures within the cytoplasm that house the translation process and catalyze some of its steps. These structures are made up of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and protein…
In order to survive in and withstand many environmental pressures, one aspect that is both critical and necessary is the ability for organisms to be able to regulate gene expression. Amongst bacterial species, one gene that has been identified as a main factor is the cell-cycle transcriptional regulator, known as ctrA. It controls at least 25% of the genes involved in the cell cycle process (Mercer et al., 2010). ctrA has been highly studied in the model organism, Caulobacter crescentus, in…

I found that a good representation of this would be with the usage of water and environmental objects that…

McGregor (2007) focused on metacognition, building schema, inferring, questioning, main idea, visualizing and synthesizing. All of this she does with hands on, concrete examples to help students understand the new concept before she applies it to their reading.

The shapes of their word bubbles were different. Alison’s word bubble looked like a typical word bubble, very round like, but her mother’s word bubble was…
