The four forces of evolution are natural selection‚ mutation‚ genetic drift‚ and gene flow. Natural selection has to do with adaptation. It preaches that those species that have better adapted to the environment with various traits and just simply their behavior‚ will be stronger and therefore able to survive for longer periods of time and allow for their genes to continuously be passed on to the next generations of that species. Mutations have to do with adding‚ subtracting‚ and deleting of nitrogen

Basal Cell Skin Cancer Basal cell skin cancer is a cancer that develops from the skin’s basal cells. The basal cells are located in the outermost layer of the skin called the epidermis and can be found in the deepest layer of the epidermis [1]. Basal cells constantly divide to form new cells in order to replace the squamous cells. As basal cells move up in the epidermis‚ the basal cells flatten and eventually become simple squamous cells. Separating the epidermis from deeper layers of the skin‚ the

Summary- This article is about an alternative way to treat Sickle Cell Anemia. Sickle Cell Anemia is caused by an inherited genetic mutation. The mutation prohibits oxygen from being transported to tissues. Typically‚ hemoglobin is made up of two alpha-globins and two beta-globins‚ which can each take or remove a molecule of oxygen. If a copy of the mutation is given by both parents‚ only defective beta-globins will be produced. These beta-globins will latch onto each other instead of to oxygen

have discovered that the mitochondrial genomes of birds have found two mutations within the mitochondrial genomes within fifty years. Within those fifty years it has shown two mutations within the mitochondrial genomes which can debunk the two percent of evolution per million years. By studying individual chickens Professor Greger Larson at Oxford University’s Research Laboratory for Archaeology‚ they have found two mutations in the mitochondrial genomes. Now the chickens that were chosen for this

If the gene is enhanced or inhibited this may cause one to show extreme aggression. When one has an imbalanced amount of MAO‚ he/she tend to have a imbalanced mood. Some of the other symptoms of this mutation include mood swings‚

Middle Ages’ Most Notorious Killer: The Black Death This paper analyzes the documentary film "Secrets of the dead-Mystery of the Black Death". This film discusses about the Black Death‚ a disease resulting from a combination of bubonic and pneumonic plague‚ which killed millions of Europeans during the Middle Ages. Researchers in this video clarify the origins of this pandemic/how it spread‚ the damage it caused on the whole European continent‚ the theory explaining how some people managed

through proteins. The experiment presented tests how enzymes affect the pigment in the eye of Drosophila. What was resulted in this experiment is that when certain enzymes change‚ a mutation is created‚ causing the change of pigments in the different Drosophila’s eyes. The production of one enzyme is one gene and a mutation of this gene can cause an enzyme to be inactive which leads to the phenotype changing. Introduction: George W. Beadle and Edward L. Tatum discovered that DNA controls the synthesis

A breathing treatment for cystic fibrosis‚ using a mask nebulizer and a ThAIRapy Vest A breathing treatment for cystic fibrosis‚ using a mask nebulizer and a ThAIRapy Vest CF is caused by a mutation in the gene for the protein cystic fibrosis trans-membrane conductance regulator (CFTR). This protein is required to regulate the components of sweat‚ digestive juices‚ and mucus. CFTR regulates the movement of chloride and sodium ions across epithelial
