Writing from Sources When writing an academic paper it is difficult to use one’s own experiences as knowledgeable support‚ thus one must rely on resources from others. These sources are typically found in the written form‚ books‚ periodicals‚ journals‚ or even on the Web. If the source used is not valid the essay will not be credible. Consequently‚ it is imperative that each source is evaluated to determine its credibility (Spatt‚ 2011). This paper will induce that Wikipedia is not a credible

not be too far off in the future. Designing babies using genetic enhancement is an issue that is gaining more and more attention in the news. This controversial issue‚ once thought to be only possible in the realm of science-fiction‚ is causing people to discuss the moral issues surrounding genetic enhancement and germ line engineering. Though genetic research can prove beneficial to learning how to prevent hereditary diseases‚ the genetic enhancement of human embryos is unethical when used to create

Is Wikipedia an Acceptable Source for Academic Writing? Wikipedia is the ultimate source for information. It has articles on nearly every topic and has millions of editors around the world. However‚ just because it has a lot of information doesn’t mean that it is all good information. Academic writing is a very accurate type of writing that can require many unbiased‚ reliable‚ credible‚ and relevant sources. I do not think all Wikipedia articles are held to these standards and so‚ I do not believe

Genetic Drift as an Evolutionary Force Becky Gonzalez Genetics 2450 Lab Section 1262 March 2‚ 2011 Genetic Drift as an Evolutionary Force Genetic drift‚ along with natural selection‚ mutation‚ and gene flow‚ is one of the basic evolutionary forces of evolution. Evolution is the method by which allele frequencies in a population change over time. This process can be random‚ where the changes occur through genetic drift (Hahn and Bentley 2003)

"The age of genetic engineering is changing our lives‚ whether we like it or not" (Tagliaferro 9). This quote by Linda Tagliaferro is an excellent quote to explain how genetic engineering is currently standing‚ whether one is fore or against genetic engineering. In the old days animals went on with their lives breeding and reproducing in a manner that was unknown to civilization. However‚ through the years science and technology has surpassed the ways of the old‚ even though the rest of the world

Wikipedia- is it a credible and valid source of information? Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia. It contains millions of articles and depends mainly on volunteers and contributors to ensure that information are up to date.

An encyclopedia is generally not a good source of reference in a paper; rather it can

Christian Chou Mrs. McCarron 12/10/14 A.P Biology Drosophila melanogaster Genetics Introduction: The common fruit fly‚ scientifically named Drosophila melanogaster‚ is used by many in genetic studies. Because they can be easily cultured‚ have a relatively short generation time‚ and are prolific breeders‚ fruit flies are often very popular in genetic investigations. Furthermore‚ mutations and sex are easy to visualize among the fruit flies. Male fruit flies have a smaller abdomen than their female counterparts

Sources of african history A source of history can be divided into two big groups‚ remnants and storytelling which usually are called primary and secondary sources. The primary sources‚ remnants and written documents are counted as more reliable than the oral history. African history has been a challenge for researchers because of scarce written sources in many regions‚ especially sub – Saharan Africa. Prejudice against black Africans in particular‚ which goes far back in history‚ has meant that
