The Selfish Gene

This is what forms traits such as hair or eye color; genes from parents are mixed, and depending on the dominant/recessive alleles, the offspring could inherit one of the parents traits. Genetic diversity is caused by the crossing over of chromosomes during Prophase I, the random assignment of chromosomes…

3.3 Results and Discussion 3.3.1 Agarose Particles By microscopy observation, both ABT and CSS were activated by the Mix&GoTM solution with significant colour change on the particle surface. Seen from Figure 3-1 and 3-2, a dark green layer was formed outside the particle after treating with Mix&GoTM. By visual observation, the agarose particles turned from colourless to green, which supported the microscopy observation. The activated particles were also sent for zeta potential measurement and…

In the article “Ethics and the New Genetics” written by The Dalai Lama, the author explains a religious symbol that is trying to send a message to the science community. A genetic technology that one day will change the definition of what it is to be human. Similarly, in “Human Dignity” written by Francis Fukuyama the author examines Factor X, the same number of factors that makes a human being human. Individuals should be political, the ethical esteem is embodied, the decisions made, and the…

When considering the argument of Bioethics, the ethical standards of determining if a scientific process is morally legitimate opens innocent minds across the world. Bioethics has been integrated throughout today’s society and quickly advanced into an embroiled storm that is sweeping nations across a broad spectrum. When examining the importance of these controversial issues, the development of new scientific advancements is incorporated into the field of Eugenics. Eugenics can be considered a…

Not to our surprise, the ICS results of Chiang Mai case are different from other 3 cases in several aspects. We will try to elaborate and discuss about those different accordingly in each section. Figure 5.1 shows the distribution of the ICS samplings according to their country of origin as follow, among 100 respondents, the majority is from Myanmar (34%) following by Japan (14%), USA (10%) and Lao (10%). 10 people are from Cambodia, 8 people are from China a, 7% of the respondents are from…

1. What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis? Define each term, and then explain how each process contributes differently to the conception and growth of a zygote. The two ways cell division can occur are through mitosis and meiosis. In mitosis, a cell produces two clones of itself, each with the same number of chromosomes. In meiosis, a cell will produce four cells called gametes through the process of spermatogenesis and oogenesis. Gametes are most commonly known as sperm cells in…

English 101 Essay # 2 10-6-17 Rachel Hockenberry Swarm Intelligence The meaning of swarm is well known and is used to describe a group in movement. Picture a swarm of bees flying together. Intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge. (Wikipedia) Swarm intelligence is a collective behavior of decentralized, self -organized systems, natural or artificial. (Wikipedia) When I think of swarm intelligence “the no I in team” saying comes to mind. Basically, you can get more done…

Locomotion is the movement of a body from one place to another. There are various ways in which species of organisms in the 9 major phylum classes of the kingdom Animalia adapted unique muscle systems and how they use them. A phylum class includes organisms that are different but share important characteristics that resulted from evolutionary relationships among major groups of animals that allowed organisms to adapt in terms of the way they locomote. The Phylum Porifera is made up of sea…
