    viewpoint put forth, yet not accept it, as it resists the dominant social perceptions regarding motherhood and women being emotional. A key example of this can be seen in the scene during which her Sarah’s son, John, converses with the Terminator about being afraid. The Terminator tells him that he must not feel emotion, as he must stay “functional” until his mission is completed. A close-up of John as he replies “Yeah. I have to stay functional too.

    state. While doing so, they differ in the way they interact with nonhumans. The horror genre faces normal vs. abnormal while Sci-Fi confronts normal vs. alien/machine. Examples of each would be Friday the 13th the campers vs. Jason, and Terminator Sarah vs. the Terminator. The pair confronts the search for knowledge to solve a problem or threat. Horror has a more direct approach of locating the problem/threat and finding a way to destroy it, but science fiction, obviously takes a more scientific…

    al. reconstructed Helraiser, an ancient element from the bat genome, and use this transposon as an experimental tool to unravel the mechanism of Helitron transposition. A hairpin close to the 3′-end of the transposon functions as a transposition terminator. However, the 3′-end can be bypassed by the transposase, resulting in transduction of flanking sequences to new genomic locations. Helraiser transposition generates covalently closed circular intermediates, suggestive of a replicative…
