- Genetic testing is a medical assessment that detects any changes occurring in your genes, proteins or chromosomes. ("What Is Genetic Testing? - Genetics Home Reference." U.S. National Library of Medicine. National Institutes of Health, n.d. Web. 29 Nov. 2016.) - It is used to rule out any genetic condition as well as it can be used to determine a person’s chance of developing a genetic disorder.

Charles (Robert) Darwin • Charles Robert Darwin born on 12th February 1809 in Shrewsbury, England (Bio.com,2014) • He had an obsession with insects and bugs from a young age. • Darwin started off as a geologist, but over time he began to develop his theories and became a naturalist. • Darwin brought forward one of his main theories which was ‘Natural Selection’. • “Natural selection is Darwin’s most famous theory; it states that evolutionary change comes through the production of variation in…

Evolution, Does It Makes Sense? For hundreds of years the topic of how we got here today has been questioned, and formed into different theories that tell the history of life. The theory of evolution is the most thought out and elaborate way to look at how life started as only single celled organisms and evolved into many very complex species. Evolution is said to have started on a prehistoric earth after it had formed over 4.6 billion years ago. It took about a billion years after Earth was…

In the early 1990s, a psychologist named Robert Plomin began a wide-ranging study whose results are upending everything we thought we knew about the roots of human behaviour. He began to study twins. He wasn’t the first in the field, but today he is the most influential. Twins come in two types: identical, which means they share all their genes; and fraternal, which means they share no more genes than any other siblings. They present a natural experiment in why people differ, and the influences…

While finding food, the hammerhead shark uses its shape of its head to seek prey, which helps it to find food. That is one of the incredible abilities that animals have, to survive. They are called adaptations. The amazing pelagic zone is filled with many astounding animals, like puffer fish, great white sharks, seahorses, and many other mysterious creatures. The pelagic zone has frequent temperatures, lots of food, and very little pressure. The pelagic zone is in between the neritic zone and…

Growing older has always been something I thought I would be so ready for when the time was to come around. I thought being an adult would hold some form of power and that I would be able to do any and everything that I wanted without having to answer to anybody. But, with aging it does come great responsibility and not as joyous and great as movies and T.V shows paint it out to be. I’m pretty sure that the older I get there will be very happy moments and really down moments. I tend to always…

The term Homo stasis comes from two Greek words, Homo which means “ the same” and stasis which means “ steady ” and the literal translation is staying the same. Some refers to this term as a tendency to maintain a stable constant environment where the body continues to function properly and to maintain this state of stability the body has to resist any internal changes.however,Cannon (1932), who introduced the term ‘homeostasis’, defined homoeostasis as ‘a condition, which may vary, but remains…

Darwin's Theory is the greatest scientific breakthrough in History. Laws that exploded into existence out of a unimaginably small dot. In 1859 Charles Darwin completed his book on the origin of species. He went on a vogue on a boat to the exotic island to learned more about the evolution. he would examine insect, plants, and worms. Darwin was unleashing a vision of nature following the hands of the creator himself. Darwin had many secrets and question but he wasn't really a talking person he…

My thesis is that genes passed from parent to offspring affect their lives in many important ways. Some dogs are bred especially for hunting. These dogs have to be endurant, fast, strong, and intelligent. Meanwhile a toy dog like a teacup dog has to have none of these traits. A toy dog would not be able to take the place of a hunting dog, their genes are just far to different from one another. my first selected subject would be non heritable traits. Non heritable traits affect my life in many…

Taking Advantage of Emerging Adulthood and the Luxury of Time to Choose The period of time between the high school graduation and the start of a family and or career is uniquely a selfish and transformative time. Obedience is an expectation of childhood, just as responsibility is an expectation of adulthood. Thus, the in-between commonly becomes the most appropriate time for selfishness, or better put, self-focus. Self-focus allows for directional career and relationship decision making prior to…
