It is known that, despite expectations, genome decoding has failed to respond to many questions about the health and treatment of illnesses. It has been realized that genes happen to behave in different ways depending on the environmental factors. Therefore, epigenetics has come forward to play a significant role in...
Introduction Research on epigenetics continues to elicit varied interest from scholars keen on understanding how heritable shifts impact or influence genetic expression without necessarily influencing the fundamental DNA sequence. This paper reviews a research article and two videos on epigenetics with the view to developing a deeper understanding of the...
MKK3 Experiment for Protein-Protein Interaction To confirm the related protein with MKK3, the Yeast Two-Hybrid (Y2H) assays would be performed (Teige, Scheikl, Reiser, Ruis, & Ammerer, 2001). The Y2H experiment is used to identify physical interactions between proteins via downstream activation of the reporting gene. The reporter gene generally influences...
Some of the inherited genes may predispose individuals to certain health conditions like cystic fibrosis among other inheritable diseases. Therefore, genetic counseling is recommended for people with a family history of a certain inheritable condition. This paper discusses the reasons for genetic counseling and possible responses from a patient together...
Abstract People face stress from various stimuli that end up affecting their lifestyle and responses related to various areas. This study attempts to investigate whether the stress can be affected by the priming effects associated with looking at humorous pictures. The research applied a quasi-experimental design with a controlled population...
Gharials, also known as fish-eating crocodiles, are “a type of Asian crocodilian distinguished by their long, thin snouts” (“Gharial,” 2017, para. 2). They belong to the Gavialidae family. The average lifespan of the crocodiles in the wild ranges from 40 to 60 years. They may reach up to 15.5 ft...

England is one of the most powerful countries in the modern world. It was a great empire up to the 20th century and this has some effects on modern life (Robson 547). The country has close ties with many other countries in the world. These ties contribute to the economic...
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...
Methodology The data of annual salaries were collected from a sample of 12 operators (N = 12) in a chemical manufacturing company. The sample of plant operators was selected randomly and annual salaries recorded. Sharpe, De Veaux, and Velleman (2015) assert that sampling of data reduces researchers’ biases in the...
Some of the most catastrophic natural dangers – tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions – are usually connected with tectonic plate boundaries (Duarte and Schellart 1). Their emergence has caused a debate in the scientific world about their physical origins and their allocation within time and space dimensions. The 1755 great...
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...
The issue of validity applies to any research or study and requires the researchers to develop methods and designs that would help to control the variables and achieve internal validity. Internal validity is “the extent to which [the experiment’s] design and the data it yields allow the researcher to draw...
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...
Statistics are the base of any quantitative research (Wyse, 2011). They allow analyzing data gathered from numerous test samples and compiling it in a way for the researchers to see connections between them. These patterns simplify the analysis of the results of an experiment. The program Minitab is an automated...
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 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)...
Introduction In the study of parasitology and disease ecology, and the ability of a host to tolerate or resist parasites has been given extra attention. First, it is important to differentiate between resistance and tolerance to apply these terms in further research. Biologists recognize that both terms refer to the...
Benedicta is planning for his retirement based on his current savings and salary. Table 1 indicates all assumptions that are taken into consideration for retirement planning. He has savings, which are considered as savings at the start of the plan. His salary is expected to increase by 2% every year...
The phenomenon of the F statistics is typically referred to as the value retrieved in the course of carrying out an ANOVA test (Hahs-Vaughn & Lomax, 2013). Similarly, the F-statistics-related data can be acquired when running a regression analysis. Seeing that the two tests mentioned above are aimed primarily at...
The accuracy of the research’s results depends on the statistical test chosen to measure variables. To decide what specific test to choose for the study, it is necessary to analyze the variables’ character. Considerations made during the decision process can be organized according to a series of questions to direct...
Theoretical Probability Theoretical probability is one of the most commonly applied types of probability in statistics, especially in real-life situations. Theoretical probability refers to the possibility of a desirable outcome occurring; hence, one has to define the desirable outcome (Bennett et al. 214). The probability of an event occurring is...
Introduction Creating the environment, in which consistent quality improvement becomes a possibility, is imperative for the contemporary entrepreneurship. Therefore, a detailed analysis of the current production process, including the repeatability and the reproducibility levels needs to be carried out (Liu, 2014). In the context of the identified scenario, one will...
As the irrigation costs soar and are expected to double by the 2040s, growing pumpkins will become a challenge, the American Pumpkin Growers Association (APGA) stated in the Friday, Sept. 23, 2016 release. Droughts in the main farming districts will substantially decrease the average pumpkin diameter and possibly cause yearly...
