Introduction Genetic counseling is defined as “the process of helping people understand and adapt to the medical, psychological, and familial implications of genetic contributions to disease” (Ormond, 2013, p. 189). It can be used to predict and prevent multiple heritable conditions, including diabetes. In the given paper, the focus will...
Summary: Types of reasons. Types of cloning In the article “Human Cloning – The Science and Ethics of Nuclear Transplantation,” Jaenisch (2004) has raised many vital questions of scientific and ethical aspects concerning human cloning. According to Taheri (2016), “Human cloning brings a new challenge into a global and general...
Internal Female Reproductive Organs The system of internal female reproductive organs includes glands (ovaries), cervix, and uterus. Also, fallopian tubes and vagina are part of it. Fallopian tubes are narrow tubes with a pronounced muscular layer, which are constantly shrinking. Their mucous membrane consists of cells with cilia (deWit &...
Abstract The paper is focused on describing four basic causes of evolution, namely natural selection, mutation, genetic drift, and gene flow. As a matter of fact, all the stated above elements contributed to the process of evolution. The paper examines the contribution of every cause of evolution. Natural Selection Natural...
Introduction All organisms play the role of hosts to one or more species of parasites, which can have a significant impact on their fitness. To respond to the threats from parasite infections, hosts learned to develop a range of behavioral, physiological, and morphological defense mechanisms that progressed to be effective...
What is the specific mutation? Xeroderma pigmentosum is a rare autosomal recessive genetic defect. The mutation occurs in nucleotide excision repair (NER) by affecting the ATP dependent DNA helicase XP. The ERRC2 protein known as XPD in NER is also damaged. Essentially, the mutation causes NER to malfunction and no...
Introduction Mycotoxins are metabolic substances produced by fungi and molds contaminating grains, fruits, forages, feed, human food, and the environment (Gonçalves et al., 2017). They differ in chemical structure, biosynthetic origins, and biological effects (Bellio et al., 2016). Aflatoxins (AFs) are a subset of mycotoxins produced by molds. Several of...
Introduction Stem cell research is one of the most controversial issues in the fields of medicine and religion. The controversy involves the ethics of the use, development, and destruction of human embryos for purposes of scientific research. In particular, it focuses on the use of embryonic stem cells in research....
Abstract Cocoa is a necessary cash crop both for producing and consuming countries (Bales, 2004). The cocoa beans go through a rigorous and delicate process. Some of the challenges that farmers face in cocoa production include the weather patterns, insects and a number of diseases. Cocoa production is not an...
To state the fact that chemical disposals located near the community can cause severe illnesses, it is necessary to complete the careful research, to analyze the findings, and focus on conclusions. Thus, it is important to clarify the type of research needed in order to find the necessary materials on...
Introduction The economy of Honduras visibly depends on the agricultural sector. Its influence can be traced in the country’s GDP and is properly reflected in the involvement of the population, with roughly half of the workforce involved in agricultural activities. Unfortunately, the most value-added segment of the country’s productivity is...
Introduction Ever since the discovery of DNA and the ability to manipulate it, genetics research has remained one of the most controversial scientific topics of the 21st century. The key concepts around this topic consist of genetics (the study of genetic material and mechanisms responsible for the transmission of characteristics)...
Biological Basis The concept of personal genomics can be defined as the area of genomics which addresses the issues of gene sequencing, creating a personal eTQL genomic profile, and other aspects of obtaining essential information from one’s genome (Martinez-Jimenez et al., 2015). Particularly, the concept implies that the order of...
Video Summary The video called “In the Womb” presents an amazing discovery of the development of a newborn since the moment of the conception to the birth. Using computer imagery techniques, it is possible to observe the fetus in the mother’s womb and understand its complex nature. The video reflects...
The article that I have chosen as a target is called “Adipose stem cells: Biology and clinical applications for tissue repair and regeneration” (Kokai, Marra, & Rubin, 2014). It tells about how biology can help people solve such significant problems as tissue regeneration and recovery from serious injuries. The authors...
Mitosis Mitosis is the process of cell division; as a result of it, two identical cells emerge. The cells of all types, except for sex cells, multiply via mitosis. Mitosis occurs in several phases (Dawson, 2002; The University of Arizona Biology Project, 2004): Meiosis Meiosis is the division of cells...
Abstract In this paper, we experimented to assess the nutritive value of ruminant feeds. To do so, we analyzed the chemical compositions of dry matter, crude protein, acid detergent fibre, neutral detergent fibre, ash, and ether extract. Our findings revealed that ryegrass had the highest concentrations of dry matter (95.46),...
Introduction Delmarva is a peninsula that is situated at the East Coast of the United States. It covers vast areas of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. The farming area is about 24 kilometers long and 113 kilometers wide. It borders Chesapeake Bay on the western side. Delaware River, Delaware Bay, and...
Extensive research exists on the topic of genetic makeup and its influence on personality. For example, a study conducted in 2004 found that such character traits as agreeableness and conscientiousness showed a complex genetic architecture, whereas the common pathway model could be used for the explanation of neuroticism and extraversion...
Introduction Human genes are widely discussed nowadays, as scientists are willing to understand how they are connected with people’s health conditions. Epigenetics is one of those studies that focus on alterations in gene expression. In particular, it discusses those heritable changes that do not influence human DNA. Denoting alterations in...
Culture influences the humanity in many ways. Nevertheless, it is not always possible to explain its origin. Specific cultural characteristics have been forming for centuries. A lot of people consider culture a privilege of homo sapiens, but they are wrong. It is curious to observe the behavior of primates in...
Horse Populations Horses belong to the Equidae taxonomic family. The majority of horses are separated into two types. The first is Equus caballus, and it represents the domestic type of horse. The second is called Equus ferus, and it is used for wild horses, which are extremely rare in the...
