The aim of the data analysis exercise was to determine genetic relationships between the HSP70 amino acid chains of fourteen different organisms. The data produced was an identification table, a sequence alignment diagram and a cladogram. In cladograms the branches are not representative of the evolutionary time that has occurred. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are in a class of proteins called molecular chaperones. (Kiang, J.; G, Tsokos. 1998). They are present in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes,…

The mechanisms of evolution are mutation, gene flow, genetic drift and natural selection. These mechanisms are based upon the changes that occur within an organism’s gene pool and how they affect those organisms and their survivability. Some of these mechanisms of evolution move quickly and affect large populations while others are slow moving and affect small populations. Not all of the evolutionary mechanisms are positive and benefit the population’s long term survival. Commonly these negative…

carbohydrate and protein. Additionally, there are three types of bacteria Gram Positive, Gram Negative and Acid fast. Most bacteria on agar plate will be cream, white, or yellow with circular shape. Yeast are single celled microorganisms and eukaryotic organisms. They are belongs to the kingdom of Fungi. Typically, they have a round- white shape, but it may appear in football…

1953 and the cracking of the genetic code in 1966. Denise Caruso of the Hybrid Vigor Institute in a 2008 essay stated that synthetic biology ‘bioengineers’ use biobricks “an inventory of parts…” can be used to “assemble and programmed to compel organisms to operate in specific ways” or create “custom chemicals that can later be ‘harvested’ from cells and sold” (1). A very compelling statement for an opening of the paper, but most people will generally focus on the last five words of that…

kingdom, and it is autotrophic. The vorticella is a unicellular organism that usually anchors itself to small particles of material with its stalk but can also survive its own. The vorticella shows an evolutionary advancement because the vorticella is an organism that can organize itself to be with more complex organisms unlike the blue green algae that are only organized among them. This organism is also more advanced because the organism is eukaryotic, which means it has a nucleus. This is…

that habit and no evidence of pollution. Endless amounts of organisms were identified, therefore meaning that it was a healthy, sustainable…

Microbes, which are knowns as microscopic organisms, can be found everywhere and have interactions with most of living things and non-livings things. Also, it causes either positive or negative impacts within these interactions. Certain types of microbes play a big role in all ecosystems on Earth, such as bacteria and fungi in order to not only maintain the life cycle on Earth but also helpful in human activities. Therefore, this essay is aiming to identify the role of these groups of microbes…

In Unicellular organisms, the single cell constituting the organism functions independently and carries out all the functions needed for the survival of such organisms. However, for multicellular organisms, the cells are often independent and carry out specific functions and work together in order to sustain the needs for the organism to survive (Calabresi, 2008). Cancer and EDC exposure can cause many health issues for both the male and female population, as in developmental issues, to cancers…

Despite indispensable, the number of essential genes is composed to be the minority in an organism. In the single-celled Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast) genome, the whole genome systematic gene knockout analysis found 18.7% genes that are essential for viability (GIAEVER et al. 2002). There are around 25% in Drosophila (DIETZL et al. 2007). In Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), it is estimated that there are ~15% of the total genes in the genome are essential genes (JOHNSEN AND BAILLIE 1997),…

cells have existed and evolved from unicellular organisms that are prokaryotes. This occurred through different mutations, which is known as natural selection. Both eukaryotes and prokaryotes are living organisms and are a type of cell. Both types of cells have chemical instructions, can regulate their inter conditions to fit the surroundings, changes in both these types of cells are observed in their characteristics over the years. Living organisms have evolved into three large domains: Archea,…
