The Twins Research Paper
The constellation I have chosen is Gemini "The Twins". I have chosen this constellation because it is my zodiac sign for the month I was born in and I have always found it interesting of how it got it's name. It is the third astrological sign, which originates from the constellation Gemini. The symbol of the twins is based on the Dioscuri which were two mortals granted with shared godhood after death.

The constellation is named after the twins Castor and Pollux in Greek mythology. The twins shared the same mother Leda, the Queen of Sparta, but they had different fathers.

    Pros And Cons Of Being A Twin

    From the beginning of when I can remember everything has been shared. Birthday parties, celebrations, pictures, graduation day and even small things like a room when I was younger. But I never minded it. Sharing with my twin brother seemed natural and it was almost strange that everyone else didn’t share like we did. But it seemed that everyone else didn’t think that we liked to share with each other. Throughout my childhood, I remember family and friends poking fun at our shared birthday parties with comments like “Don’t you wish you had your own party?” My answer is no. Many of my family members held the idea that sharing everything and ultimately being a twin was wretched…

    Double Muscling Research Paper

    Double muscling is a phenotype that is known to enhance the muscle mass of an individual. The Myostatin (MSTN) gene (Bellinge et al. 2005) causes the double muscling phenotype. When an individual possesses the MSTN gene, they will experience a larger amount of muscle mass (Bellinge et al. 2005), however, an individual must be homozygous for MSTN to show the phenotype (Bellinge et al. 2005). This means that they must possess two MSTN genes in order to be double muscled (Bellinge et al. 2005). Double muscling occurs because muscle fibre composition is no longer controlled (Bellinge et al. 2005). The MSTN gene is triggered by a Frameshift mutation that results in the deletion of some nucleotide bases in the gene (Bellinge et al. 2005). The MSTN gene has been…

It would also be more fun to play with someone your own age so I wouldn’t have to always play my little sisters games all the time. If I was going to go my little sister’s soccer game, I would not have to be fatigued because we could go to the park and play with each other. Being a twin would just be perfect.…
