purposes. Since the mutation is dominant, when two homozygous dominant, or heterozygous and homozygous dominant parent cats are bred all offspring will be affected. If two heterozygous cats are bred ¾ offspring would be affected, and if a heterozygous and recessive unaffected cats are bred ½ of offspring would be affected. Therefore, the only way to prevent offspring from obtaining PKD is to breed recessive unaffected individuals. If cats with polycystic kidney disease are bred then the kittens…

On the Marquardt Beauty Analysis website, even though there are differences with people that are in the same category, there are familiarities of people group in the same category because as Marquardt, S. (2001) stated, sometimes it helps to understand the people better with respect to their general tendencies of the group. Therefore, the Asian ethnic group was selected for this lab because the image of the subject belongs to that ethnic group. The face-mask criterion confirm with the face that…

allowing certain characteristics/genes to be selected as more favorable than others. Therefore, humans breed organisms with the favorable characteristics together to have offspring that might have the same characteristic. To do this, the characteristic has to have heritable genes so that the parent can pass the genes over to the offspring and increase the chance for survival in future generations, not just the individual (parent). Overtime, organisms with the favorable genes would increase while…

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…

on the idea that all species are related and gradually change over time. Desirable traits are the traits that help an organism survive. The organisms that have traits that help them live are able to pass those on to their offspring, who then pass those traits on to their offspring. The story of the peppered moths is a prime example of natural selection at work. The story of the peppered moth occurs in 1700-era England during the Industrial revolution.…

one parents’ cell is used in order to replicate or produce offspring is known as Asexual reproduction. This is very common amongst microorganism such as bacteria. Bacteria reproduce through a sub form process of asexual reproduction called binary fission. In addition to binary fission there is a processes called vegetative reproduction which involves vegetative structures, roots leaves and stems. Budding, when a new organism or offspring begins to grow from the parent body. Regeneration, is also…

but now is sick. Lin finds her grandmother died. The characters represent two types of gender roles in the short story: The male adult has right to make decision for his family. The female elder has less concern and respect from her offspring, even though her offspring are indebted to her. The first gender role, the male adult in the family has right to make decision for his family. In the short story, Lin falls in love with a white…

dominance which is that alleles can be dominant or recessive with the expression of the dominant trait when a minimum of one dominant allele is present. Mendel described inheritance as the passing of genetic information from one generation to its offspring what can now be termed as a gene. The Hardy Weinberg Principle is achieved through the…

The four forces of evolution are mutation, gene flow, genetic drift, and natural selection (Wwnorton). What I understand about mutation is that it is a random change that sometimes is good or bad. Whenever I hear the word mutation I automatically think of the X-Men because they were labeled as mutants and had random mutations happen to them. What I know about gene flow right now is that its when properties from one party flows to the other party that did not have that property. In my mind…

Apolipoprotein E. The protein Apolipoprotein E can cause Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease usually occurs in older people, causing them to become very forgetful, and messes with their brain (What Is Alzheimer's ?). The APOE gene is usually passed onto offspring from the parent, for the child to occur Alzheimer’s disease (APOE).…
