By examining where and when genes are expressed in a cell or organism‚ one can acquire valuable hints to its function‚ for genes compile the genetic make-up of an organism and exploring the function of genes is helping to uncover the complexity of ourselves and of other forms of life (1). Significant developments have been made in gene monitoring techniques specifically in DNA microarrays which only very recently revolutionized genome expression analysis (1). Despite continuous improvements and

Makuluva Field trip reflection Arishma chandS11099150 Heading to Makuluva reef islet The trip to Makuluva reef Islet was a really exciting and exhausting trip for me as it empowers me to learn new concepts concerning the terrestrial and marine organisms that are found in the islet. Also I got learn a lot of new flora and fauna species and its scientific terms that I had in my course of study. Before we board‚ the boat we were told by the capital to put on our life jacket for our own safety. I was

Genes are molecular units of heredity which encode for different types of traits. Each organism has traits that are defined phenotypically and can be studied though the field of genetics. Genetics is the study of genes‚ heredity‚ and how they cause variation in different living organisms. Scientists study genetic pattern in different organisms to determine the different trends in a certain population. In every organism‚ we obtain one allele from each parent. Alleles are types of genes that can be identified

Characteristics of organisms undergo changes across generations Gained acceptance when Darwin advocated it in his other four theories Perpetual change is clearly documented by the fossil record‚ which clearly refutes any claim that modern organisms originated in the recent past Perpetual change is regarded as fact o Common Descent States that all forms of life originated from

Causes and spread of infection. 1.1 Viruses are pieces of nucleic acid wrapped in a thin coat of protein that replicate only within cells of living host. Bacteria are one cell micro-organisms with simple cellular organizations whose nucleus lacks a membrane. Parasites may be protozoa‚ yeast or multi cellular organisms such as fungi or worms that live in or on a host to obtain nourishment without providing any benefit to the host. Fungi there are many different varieties of fungi‚ and we eat quite

Should the creation of Artificial Cells be banned? Until what extend can we play with living organisms? These are some of the reasons why for me this topic is so important. How Can AC be used in Different Fields? AC’s can be widely used im many different fields if managed with responsibility. These fields may include: medicine (vaccine technology)

Causes and Spread of Infection 1.1Identify the differences between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites. Bacteria – bacteria are extremely small singular organisms which are found almost everywhere. Viruses – it is a coated genetic material that invades cells and use’s the cells apparatus for reproduction. Fungi – it is a multi-celled living organism Parasites – they are types of living plants and animals that derive benefit from the metabolism of other animals and plants. 1.2 Identify common illnesses

it could be an animal‚ plants‚ or any other organisms and factors such as the weather‚ etc. evolution is the change over time of behavior‚ physiological or anatomical of a species. When Evolution happens it happens to the entire population not only 1 or 2 individual; evolution is the change in genes over time. The theory of evolution explains how species change over generations‚ why organisms are well-suited to their environment‚ and why some organisms resemble each other. Evolution is called a theory

Generally‚ progress is the process of improving over time‚ but as it relates to science‚ progress is the idea that science increases its problem-solving ability through the application of some scientific method. Overtime‚ science has indeed made tremendous progress through various analytical methods; one of the most controversial beings‚ ‘bioengineering’. Bioengineering is believed to be merely cloning‚ but bioengineering is specifically the application of sciences and engineering techniques that
