Stem cell research has been taking place since the late 1800’s when scientists from all over the world studied stem cells in plants, rodents, and humans in order to propagate and find cures for disease. (Boston Children’s Hospital, 2016). When looking at DNA replication, it can be very confusing and makes one wonder, “which came first, the nucleus or the DNA?” It certainly made me wonder. In the wake of stem cell research and the controversy that surrounds it, I hope to shed some light on how DNA is replicated into RNA and how the

    The main objective of this lab was to observe the activity of enzyme peroxidase in real time under different experimental conditions. To see how peroxidase reacts with its substrate guaiacol under different conditions. We measure the amount of substances per test tube and then combine all of them together. Each test tube contains a measured amount of any listed substances including H₂O. Each measured amount of peroxidase along with its substrate guaiacol, and other listed substances will show how actively the enzyme oxidizes the substrate. To measure the…

    The Death Cap Mushroom scientific name is the Amanita phallodes. When it is ingested, it causes a deadly reaction in the human body. The major toxin mechanism is the inhibition of RNA polymerase II in DNA reproduction. The reason this becomes deadly is that this is a vital enzyme in the synthesis of the messenger RNA and without it, protein synthesis cannot happen and new cell production ceases. (Karlson-Stiber C, Persson, H (2003). When the human body is no longer able to recreate the template for new cell reproduction, the old cells die and new ones can no longer be reproduced and this quickly causes system failure in the body and the organs begin to fail rapidly. Due to the onset of symptoms taking between 12 and 30 hours to be visible, the damage has already taken place and is irreparable and can quickly lead to death.…

    There is a problem that seems to be surrounding our community that is having an effect on the health of our neighbors. Our community is new and we have grown to become something like one big family so this problem will take its toll on all of us. There is something around us causing our neighbors including our children to get sick, because of the unknown circumstances this not a good thing for any of us. The first thought that I had was that the developer of the community had done something wrong and caused the problem. Because of the fact that this situation will affect me as well, I decided to do some research into the problem and this is when I discovered that the problem came from something on part of the gas supplier for our community. As a community we must unite and stick together so we can get this problem taken care of before it causes more illnesses to our families. While conducting my research I visited a few of my neighbors along with an inspector who knows more about these type of situations, he conducted several tests on our homes and concluded that it had to be something else besides the construction of the homes. This inspector informed me that we should perform other tests like maybe on the gas lines that had been put in. After the meeting with the inspector me and several neighbors met up because they were also concerned about this problem and together we decided that we would take a trip to visit the gas company and express our concerns so that perhaps they could look into the problem as well by having one of their professionals to come out and meet with us. Once we visited the gas company the next day several of their employees came out and started performing all kinds of different tests. It took them several days but it was found that the pipes which had been installed were not equipped and therefore caused vapors to escape, the vapors were not strong enough to smell but we were inhaling them which was causing the illnesses that had taken over…

I couldn’t say my ABC’s or count to 10, but with a box of markers my imagination was endless. In grade school, my teachers couldn't keep me from drawing simple flowers and hearts all over my papers.

    • RNA contains ribose, rather than deoxyribose (difference of a single oxygen). • RNA uses uracil rather than thymidine as a base; Uracil still base pairs with adenine. • RNA is generally single stranded, rather than double stranded and thus is capable of folding into complex three-dimensional shapes.…

    Transcription, or RNA synthesis, is the process of creating an equivalent RNA copy of a sequence of DNA. Both RNA and DNA are nucleic acids, which use base pairs of nucleotides as a complementary language that can be converted back and forth from DNA to RNA in the presence of the correct enzymes. During transcription, a DNA sequence is read by RNA polymerase, which produces a complementary, antiparallel RNA strand. As opposed to DNA replication, transcription results in an RNA complement that includes uracil (U) in all instances where thymine (T) would have occurred in a DNA complement.…
