Polyploidy in plants play a major role in evolutionary and genetic studies. Polyploidy is characterized by the presence of multiple sets of genomes in the same organism. It is one of the major causes of speciation; thus, is it plays a major evolutionary role in angiosperm development. Its genome undergoes remarkable changes in function and structure through genetic and epigenetic changes. Epigenetic changes are mediated by RNA and chromatic remodeling and occur vie regulatory pathways. Genetic…

Field Experience Report I decided to go to a seventh grade class on two separate days, April 6th and April 7th to do my field experience observations. The four different classes I observed are part of a school that is located in the lower side of the county of Otsego, New York. The city where the school is located is also known as “City of Hills”. The location of the school is hard to describe because it is located in the middle of nowhere. It is hard notice the school because the entrance of…

Both “Kiswana Browne” by Gloria Naylor and “Everyday Use” by Alice Walker focus on female characters with identities in conflict with the way in which they were raised. Kiswana, formerly Melanie, revolts against the older generation’s investment in politics of respectability, instead searching to reclaim her older, African roots. Kiswana is dedicated to a movement that advocates pride in being black, rather than a conformance to white normativity. This approach, unfortunately, splits the world…

various factors such as alcohol intake, body fat content, plasma lipid/ lipoproteins and glucose levels, and also various medications (Whitfield, 2001, p.263-3553). As noted by Das, Nayak, and Vasudevan(2003, p.111-118) there are other biochemical markers that is also associated with alcohol such as Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) activity, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)…

J774 macrophage, 293XL and Human Embryonic Kidney 293 cell lines expressing TLR9 9–11,13–15. However, to induce T-cell activation and proliferation, not the total amount of NK-κB produced following TLR9 activation but upregulation of co-stimulatory markers on DCs that bind to T-cells as well as presentation of antigen on MHC-I and MHC-II is critical. Only one study was found that looked at DC activation with CpG conjugated via the 3’ and 5’ end. Beaudette et al conjugated CpG via the 3’ and 5’…

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a type of malignant brain tumor typically found in the cerebral hemispheres, but can be found anywhere in the brain or spinal cord. These tumors are highly malignant meaning a large number of cells reproduce at any given time. There are two main types: primary, or de novo meaning the tumors make themselves known quickly and are extremely aggressive, and secondary meaning the tumors have a slower growth history but are equally aggressive . Secondary tumors are…

TRPML1’s Impact on MLIV In the article, “Fusion of lysosomes with secretory organelles leads to uncontrolled exocytosis in the lysosomal storage disease mucolipidosis type IV” discussed the impacts of TRMPL1 on MLIV. Lysosomes are important in maintaining healthy cells, however, with the absence of lysosomal TRP channel TRPML1 then the lysosomal pH becomes more acidic because of the calcium leakage; hence, this makes lysosomes more sensitive to fusing, and due to being near exocytosis regulating…

accurate dosages. The most common method to determine the dosage of herbal medicine is the standardized extract. First, one ingredient is selected as the marker, usually the presumed active ingredient. In ginkgo, the marker is flavone glycosides; in Saint John wort, the marker is hypericin, and in ginseng, the marker is ginsenosides. Then, the marker of each herb will serve as a guidepost for the strength of all the ingredients inside the herbs or herb-related products. Labeling laws and…

The American Institute of Stress states that women are twice as likely to experience major depression compared to men and three times as likely to suffer from anxiety or stress related disorders; most likely due to hormone level differences and a variation of genetic make-up. That being said, women already have a greater chance, statistically and under the previous idea of the human genome, to endure the effects of stress related disorders. However, recent research on a process known as…
