Until recently I had accepted the definition of a species as being a class of individuals sharing common characteristics, with the ability to reproduce with another member of the same species to produce a fertile offspring. However after this essay was assigned, I began researching and found that there are areas where this definition can be difficult to apply. There are four major definitions and concepts that can be applied to a ‘species’. The biological species concept, the morphological…

The scientific community has come very far and reached a point in scientific breakthroughs that cloning and bioengineering can help with the advancement in the quality of human life. This process of cloning and bioengineering will help the human race as a whole through the benefits and advancements that follow due to the outcomes of this practice. Cloning and bioengineering should be used due to the benefits in the medical field, the advancements in crop and animal yield, and gives the…

Environment is the term used for defining our surroundings which may include the biotic and abiotic components that are present around us. Biotic components include the microbes, plants and animals and abiotics are soil, water and air [1]. Biotechnology is the integration of technology and natural sciences by utilizing organisms and cells, to produce knowledge, services and products [2]. Environmental biotechnology refers to the application of biotechnology which is used for finding a way to…

hesitations about making a career out of research, whether through academia or another sector. The reason that I chose to go into developmental and stem cell biology lies in the potential applications for the field. While I enjoyed my experience in bacterial bioinformatics, and have gained a greater appreciation for computational biology, I want to pursue a field that is more applicable to human health. The ability of the ability of induced pluripotent stem cells to differentiate into any cell…

Name: Maryam Sadiqa Group Members: Oralia Reyes Anny Then Anthony Mayers Date of lab performed: 06/4/16 Date of submission: 06/23/16 Lab Name: Genes in Human Population lab Page number: 57-66 Purpose of the lab: The purpose of this lab was to work with a partner and identify your partners and as well as your own phenotype and genotype. We did that by deeply observing our bodies and then determining whether we have the following traits. PTC, Darwin’s ear point, ear lobe attachment,…

been keen on specialising in the science industry due my desire for researching, as well as exploring more about the specific field of will forever continue to amaze me. My favourite subject in primary and secondary school was science, particularly biology. As a result, I was trying to enhance the skills and abilities needed to work in the appropriate condition in science classes thus I discovered how fascinating science was and what I wanted to do in the future had to be science based. For that…

NYU’s comprehensive biology program allows me the opportunity to gain a substantial and significant amount of knowledge while allowing me the freedom to peruse my other academic interest such as scientific inquiry and experimentation. NYU New York City provides undergraduate…

Labeling Genetically Modified Foods(GMOs) How many genetically modified foods does the average person put into their body every day? Unfortunately, many people don’t even know what GMOs are so they also don’t know that it is entering their body and can cause damage. This process started in the mid-1900s but didn’t get approved until the 1980s so it has had its course so far. At times it is very difficult to tell a GMO from a regular, healthier version of an organism but it’s like this because…

4.1 The GABC Approach for Image Segmentation The GABC is the Genetic Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm. The proposed algorithm is the implementation of ABC algorithm with the key concept of GA technique.The GABC is actually the hybrid approach of Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm and the Genetic Algorithm.In this method we extend Genetic Algorithm with Artificial Bee Colony operators i:e Employed Bees and Onlooker Bees to improve the solution space named as Genetic Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm…

Byron Likdisha AP Biology Essay #2 The modern synthesis incorporated Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection and many other fields of science, including genetics, to explain evolution more accurately. When Darwin wrote “On the Origin of Species “, he only explained the first mechanism of evolution, which was natural selection. The modern theory of evolution now highlights three more important mechanisms for evolution, which are mutations, genetic drift, and gene flow. Many…
