Mitosis

Paramecia, unicellular cilliated protozoa, usually are ovoid and elongated. They widespread in brackish environments and freshwater. Length of the species are various ranging from 50 micrometers to 330 micrometers. They feed on yeasts, algae, and small protozoa which are captured by them through phagocytosis, devouring a particle by “wrapping pseudopodia around it and packaging it within a food vacuole” (Campbell and Reece 2011). They also serve as the models for the study of basic biological…

chromosome 1 at position 36, is involved in renal tubular development and function. The SDCCAG8 gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 1 at position 43, encodes a protein believed to be involved in organizing the centrosome during interphase and mitosis. The WDR19 gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 4 at position 14, encodes a protein that is involved in the forming and maintaining of cilia. Løken-Senior syndrome is autosomal recessive, which means a child acquires both copies…

focuses on heterogeneity and homogeneity of the CCND1 amplification. To my understanding, cyclin D1 is a normal protein that plays a specific role in the regulation of the G1 phase in the cell cycle. G1 phase is that stage that begins right after mitosis and where…

Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States among men and women. 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer in the course of their lifetime. A study showed that from 1970 to 2009, melanoma among women age 18-39 increased 800%. The use of tanning beds, bulbs, and other devices attributed to this. The skin is formed of two layers, the epidermis and dermis. The epidermis is made of squamous cells, basal cells, and melanocytes scattered throughout the basal cells. Melanocytes are…

lives of others. I know I am ready to begin teaching and I am confident in my ability to build relationships and educate children. I want to be the teacher that helps a student finally understand multiplying, what the Federalist Papers are, or what mitosis is. I want to…

individual with presence of more than two sets of chromosomes (3n, 4n, 5n, etc.) (Soltis et al., 2009) as sporophyte. Polyploids may have arisen as the result of nondisjunction during meiosis or may be generated when chromosomes are dividing properly in mitosis and meiosis, but the cytokinesis does not follow. Polyploidy can be classified into two: polysomic polyploidy (autopolyploidy) and disomic polyploidy (allopolyploidy) (Stebbins, 1951). Autopolyploidy comes from doubling of chromosome…

Proof reading and Mismatch repair are crucial processes in DNA replication, their existence reduces the likelihood of a mutation occurring by a significant amount. In fact, proofreading reduces the likelihood of errors occurring to approximately one in every ten million nucleotides (Pierce, 2012-pp354). This essay will emphasise the importance of proofreading during, and mismatch repair post DNA replication and explore its significance in the mechanisms that drive Lynch syndrome. In eukaryotes 3…

Lyme Disease Education There are many diseases in the world such as influenza, rubella and lice. There is one particular disease that will be discussed in depth in this report called Lyme disease. This report will further explain the details of the disease and public health strategies. Ticks Lyme disease is a disease you may get if a tick bites you. Lyme disease is caused by bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi. The bacteria is corkscrew-shaped. Ixodes ticks which are also know as…

Gene mutation is a permanent alteration in the DNA nucleotide sequence, such that the sequence is different from what is commonly found. Mutations range in size; they can affect anywhere from a single base pair, to a large segment of a chromosome. Gene mutations can be categorized in two major ways, hereditary and acquired or somatic mutation. Hereditary mutations are mutations inherited from a parent. These mutations are present in virtually every cell of the body, and are present throughout…
