Viral Infection Host Cell
851 wordsIt all started with a little tickling in my throat. I forged ahead, knowing all too well what that feeling meant, I was getting sick. I convinced myself to just not think about it and it would just go away. This whole time there was an army of alien species amassing in my bloodstream and older cells. They are horrifyingly ugly, like something straight out of H. R. Geiger's imagination. They writhe and twitch while they are on the hunt for one of your precious body cells. One can almost imagine t...

Million Years Ago Five Hundred
1,312 wordsOn Saturday 12 th 2000, my family and I went on a float trip on the Huzzah River in Steelville, Missouri. The Huzzah River and its surroundings were a perfect location for me to look for my fossil. Since the water level was shallow, that enabled me to look to the river bottom. Almost immediately after I began my search near the edge of the river, I spotted a rock that appeared to have some sort of shell embedded in it. I decided this would be a good specimen for me to try to examine and identify...

Research Into Human Cloning Research Into Human First
615 wordsAs technology keeps advancing each year we are left with nothing else but to learn how to use it. In 1997 history was made when Dolly - the first cloned sheep - was born. Questions arose about whether or not it was possible to clone humans. Nobody knows for certain how far cloning can go but nobody can stop technology from becoming advancing. Even as I grow old, expertise in certain fields of science will be far more then what the average person can handle. It is important to remember anything n...

Full Blown Aids Human Immunodeficiency Virus
1,579 wordsHIV and AIDS The first case of AIDS was identified in New York in 1979. The cause of the disease, a retro virus now called Human Immunodeficiency Virus, was identified in 1983 - 84 by scientists working at the National Cancer Institute in the United States and the Pasteur Institute in France. These workers also developed tests for AIDS, enabling researchers to follow the transmission of the virus and to study the origin and mechanism of the disease. Close relatives of the AIDS virus infect some ...

Cognitive Dissonance Ive Learned
1,005 wordsOn my journey to a better understanding of how learning theories have shown themselves in my life, I realized that I have had more experience with them than I had first thought. I dont see myself as being changed dramatically by any one learning experience, but I do realize that my desire to learn has increased as I have been introduced to a variety of teaching methods. In short, I could not pick one theory that I could relate most of my learning experiences to. Therefore, as I looked through ou...

832 wordsThe issues of abortion always perplexed me in many ways. There were many questions to be answered and to be discovered based on the arguments why people consider it as an option. In issues regarding abortion there are many opinions that I had to observe based on the fact that many individuals had different views and perspectives.

Takes Place 1 N
858 wordsAlthough Bryophytes and Pterophytes are both plant divisions with a common ancestor, they have little in common. While Bryophytes (mosses) are generally nonvascular and very short in height, Pterophytes (ferns) are vascular plants that usually grow much taller than mosses. While the dominant generation in mosses is the gametophyte, ferns exhibit the sporophyte generation. The details of their alternations of generation vary as well, although both have diploid and haploid stages. Alteration of ge...

Genetically Engineered Recombinant Dna
775 wordsVirtually every crop we eat have undergone hundreds of years of genetic modification by farmers and scientist in search of desirable traits. Selective breeding and hybrid strains have contributed immeasurably to farm productivity during this time. Over the past 30 years however, genetic engineering has been revolutionized. While before, a farmer wanting to develop a frost resistant tomato would be able to breed towards one only if the necessary genes were available somewhere in tomatoes or a nea...

Reproductive Cloning Artificial Insemination
1,338 wordsArgue a case for or against Clone is the title given to any organisms that are genetically identical. Cloning can be classified as a form of genetic engineering including AID (Artificial Insemination Donor) and AIH (Artificial Insemination Husband) and IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation). AID is the injecting of the semen of a male donor into the womans womb and AIH is the same with the difference that the semen is of the husband These forms of artificial conception have been questioned especially with...

Genetic Engineering E G
406 wordsBioengineering, or genetic engineering is an altering of genes in a particular species for a particular outcome. It involves taking genes from their normal location in one organism and either transferring them elsewhere or putting them back into the original organism in different combinations. Most biomolecules exist in low concentrations and as complex, mixed populations which it is not possible to work efficiently. This problem was solved in 1970 using a bug, Escherichia coli, a normally innoc...

Schools Of Thought Part Of Life
1,456 wordsWhy Do we go to college? Sociology As we journey down this road called life, many of us face the rigors of academia during the early years of our life. One of the most critical junctures in this path is that of whether we should continue on with education into college, or veer off this path and one towards a job or other future prospects. For most technological and industrial advanced societies, going to college has become an integrated part of the learning process. But the fact that it is not d...

Amount Of Carbon Costa Rica
1,265 wordsGreg Costa Bio 190 /Costa Rican Adventures 11 / 30 / 1999 Part I Banana: Bananas were most likely picked up by the European traders in Southeast Asia when in search for spices. Soon, as the discovery of the Tropics arrived, traders took bananas to Central America. Breadfruit: this fruit commonly grows among the southern Pacific islands, and it probably found its way to Costa Rica when the natives started to explore on boat. Chocolate: as far as I could find, chocolate is native to Central Americ...

Worker Bees Dominant Male
1,187 wordsAltruism is thought of as being behaviour exhibited by one individual to benefit another, with no direct gain but at some cost for that first individual. Apparent altruism is the idea that although behaviour may seem to be fully altruistic (i. e. non-selfish) behaviour there is actually a gain for that individual. Genetically this gain tends to refer to the fitness of the individual i. e. their reproductive success. It was Darwin who first suggested the problematic paradox introduced by some alt...

Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer Ban Human Cloning
1,939 wordsAccording to Webster s New World Dictionary (1990), a clone is all descendants derived asexually from a single organism. In layman terms a clone is an exact duplicate of another organism, therefore a human clone would be a perfect copy of another human being. According to the American Medical Association, the scientific name for cloning is somatic cell nuclear transfer, which means the nucleus of an existing organism is transferred into an oocyte from which the nucleus has been removed (AMA 1998...

Moral Obligation Brain Activity

First, animals exist only as a concept. Otherwise, they are cuddly cats, curly dogs, cute monkeys.

The right to be free of pain? The right to ...

A paleontologist, he was based for most of his life at the museum of comparative zoology (MCZ) at Harvard, where, since 1982, he had been Alexander Agassiz professor of zoology. But he was best known to the public through his unbroken sequence of 300 monthly essays in Natural History magaz...
