The Human Genome Project
360 wordsThe Human Genome Project (HGP) is an international research effort to chart and characterize the human genome; the entire package of genetic instructions for a human being. That entails laying out, in order the 3 billion DNA letters (or base pairs) of the full human genetic code. The Human Genome Project began in 1990. It was originally planned to take 15 years to complete but because of technological advance it should be complete by the year 2003. The eight goals of the project include decipher...

Gel Electrophoresis Chain Reaction
892 wordsHuntington Disease, (HD), is a hereditary degenerative brain disease. Usually begining in mid-life, cells in the caudate nucleus of the brain begin to die, causing a relentless deterioration of intellectual ability, emotional control, motor skills, balance and speech. Chorea, or involuntary movements, is nearly always a symptom as well. HD is caused by a single dominant gene. Every child of an affected parent has a 50 % chance of inheriting the gene that causes HD. The HD gene is found on chromo...

Time Of Year Iambic Pentameter
1,413 wordsMost of the 127 sonnets Shakespeare wrote to one of his close male friends are united by the theme of the overwhelming, destructive power of time, and the counterbalancing power of love and poetry to create and preserve beauty. Sonnet 73 is no different, but it does present an intriguing twist on this theme. Most of these sonnets address the youth and beauty of his male friend, as well as poetry's power to immortalize them, but number 73 addresses the author's own mortality and the friend's love...

English Civil Part 1
1,680 wordsEnglish Civil War English Civil War was the clash of two clearly differentiated social groups or classes: the fullest possible knowledge of men's social and economic background, if it leaves out the preaching available in their home parishes, tells us nothing about their likely allegiance in the Civil War.

Some of these enzymes break down proteins, others attack fats, and still others disassemble the nucleic acids that make up DNA and RNA (Bourne, 1992, p. 123). Lynosomes don't always work right. When they fail, the result can be catastrophic disease. In Tay-Sachs disease, for example, victims have inherited a faulty gene, which leads to a defective enzyme or no enzyme at all. As a result certain undigested molecules accumulate in the lysosomes, gradually lead...

Important To Remember Males And Females
3,107 wordsHuntington's disease is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder. It is passed from parent to child in an autosomal dominant manner (Berkon, pg. 1493), meaning you need only one copy of the gene to inherit the disease. This is in contrast to an autosomal recessive disorder which requires two altered genes to inherit the disorder or an altered gene from each parent (Hayden, pg. 11). If you have the gene and live long enough, you will eventually develop HD and each of your children has a 50 % chanc...

Sickle Cell Anemia Red Blood Cells
1,326 wordsThe Protein Site Protein Synthesis The process of Protein Synthesis involves many parts of the cell. Unlike other similar productions, this process is very complex and precise and therefore must be done in proper sequence to work effectively. The slightest error during this process could cause the action to experience difficulty or even fail. For example, in the production of starch, glucose molecules are combined to be stored and eventually utilized as usable chemical energy. The cell can break...
