Inheritance and Polymorphism Prepared by: Prof. Irysh Paulo R. Tipay‚ MSCS Quote for the Day “That’s the thing about people who think they hate computers. What they really hate is lousy programmers.” ― Larry Niven Recap! What you already know… In OOP‚ EVERYTHING is an OBJECT A Class is a blueprint/model used for creating Objects An Object is an instance of a Class Both Objects and Classes have an attribute and behaviour A class should have at least one Constructor.

to another. This is called “genetic engineering.” Genetic engineering also refers to the artificial modification of the genetic code of any living organism. Genetic engineering changes the original physical nature of the organism‚ sometimes in ways that would never occur in nature. Genes from one organism are inserted in another organism‚ most often across natural species boundaries. Some of the effects become known‚ but most do not. There are some examples of genetic engineering that have created

Trait theory is the successor to what was deemed the Great Man theory of leadership. The Great Man theory surmises that leaders are born with innate abilities that make them great leaders. However‚ Trait theory follows the belief that leadership traits are in fact not innate‚ but are learned and developed through experience and learning (Krietner‚ 2010‚ p.470). Trait theorists have been studying leadership since the turn of the 20th century. Such theorist as Mann‚ Stogdill‚ as well as Kirkpatrick

Rickets are mostly found in young children “…and 1 in every 100 non-Caucasian…” (Vitamin D Council 13). Rickets is a disease where one or one’s child has a severe vitamin D deficiency‚ it can also form softening and the weakening of the bones. Rickets are caused when a child is “…not getting enough calcium or lack of calcium and vitamin D…” (Mayo Clinic 4). Children that do not get enough sunlight or do not eat certain foods can start to develop a deficiency this is because the skin produces vitamin

After witnessing the complete social and cultural upheaval of the 1960’s‚ Americans did not expect to see as an exciting of a decade in the 1970’s. However‚ new forms of media and an increased dependence of the news allowed people to witness a decade in which journalism expanded and pushed new boundaries. The 1970’s displayed the country’s dependence upon newspapers as a primary source of their daily information‚ along with a shift in government coverage. Two of the decade’s biggest stories came

It is due to this that a great body of research within health psychology has focused on not only the consequences of obesity but also understanding the causes of obesity‚ both genetic and environmental – this is what this essay will explore....

Genetic engineering is a powerful and potentially very dangerous tool. To alter the sequence of nucleotides of the DNA that code for the structure of a complex living organism‚ can have extremely ill effects although the potential benefits can be huge. Before advances in genetic applications‚ gene therapy was unheard of and genetic defects were always inherited‚ plaguing generations. Today genetic testing is widely available‚ such as prenatal karyotyping of chromosomes to check for genetic abnormalities

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 on the chromosomes‚ which are in the nucleus

Neurological Disorder There are many neurological diseases and disorders that affect the nation’s population. Many go unnoticed while others have severe symptoms. One such disease is a neurological disorder called Huntington’s disease or HD. Huntington’s Disease is a neurological disorder that affects the brain by forming abnormal brain cells that do not function correctly this disease is incurable and how it spreads is unknown. Huntington’s disease has been found in most races and becomes evident

Sex linked genetic disorders Fragile x syndrome Sex-linked traits are genetic characteristics determined by genes located on sex chromosomes. Genes are pieces of DNA on chromosomes that carry information that are responsible for inheriting traits. Different forms of the same gene are called alleles. One allele for a certain trait is inherited from a mother and one from a father. These traits are passed down from parent to their offspring by sexual reproduction.
