Unit 5 Case Study Mariella Hines is a 9 year-old African-American girl attending the 3rd grade in the JFK School. She was referred to the School Psychologist because she has recently become very withdrawn during class‚ refusing to speak to anyone‚ including her teacher and peers. Previously she seemed to have age-appropriate social skills‚ interacting well at school. Her withdrawal started suddenly. Mariella’s teacher‚ Mrs. Levine‚ called Mariella’s mother to find out more information‚ but her

Role of Genetics Brenda Dople PSY 104 Child and Adolescent Development Instructor Andrew Fletcher April 16‚ 2012 There are billions of people on this planet. Everyone is different. Even our closest siblings can look‚ behave and have different abilities than we do. Do you ever wonder how this happens? Environmental and biological factors work together in a lifelong process to determine how a child will develop into an adult. In this paper‚ I will discuss how the biological

A controversial issue of the twenty-first century is the possible application of new techniques in genetic engineering to produce human clones. Up until now genetic engineering and cloning has been used to clone plants‚ unicellular organisms‚ amphibians and simple mammals. This has led to significant advances in agriculture‚ industry‚ and medicine. Newer techniques in genetic engineering have enabled scientists to clone more complex mammals and opened up the possibility of cloning humans. Although

Genetic Inheritance Silvia Phillips PSY 104 Professor Bennett April 7th‚ 2013 Genetic Inheritance Humans have diverged genetically since we emerged from Africa about 100‚000 years ago (Stearns & Koella‚ 2007). The impressive diversity of humans in the planet establishes that each human is unique in their traits and characteristics. Those traits describe our genotype‚ the complete inherited makeup of an organism (Mossler‚ 2011). The genes of both parents play a crucial role in the

Genetic Engineering – A Curse or a Blessing? What is geneitc engineering? Many struggle to understand the real meaning and outcrops of this complicated‚ highly expensinve procedure. Genetic Engineering is a direct human manipulation of an organism’s DNA structure. As intricated as it seems‚ it’s a technology that has been used for decades‚ and is soon to outbreak into a real “Cloning Aeon”. Therefore‚ how could we know the benefits and the drawbacks of this technique? Let us take a hinge

AP Psychology Midterm Study Guide #1 Unit 1: Psychology’s History and Approaches 1.Definition of Psychology? Disciplines it is rooted in? Psychology is the science of behavior and mental process; it seeks to answer how and why we think‚ feel‚ act as we do. Psychology is rooted in philosophy and biology. 2.What is the difference between nativism and empiricism? Which ancient philosophers/early psychologist were nativist? which were empiricist? Nativism is the argument that all our skills

America’s love for marijuana 1950-2000 “A Critical Analysis” By Mohsin Aftab Prof: Thomas Anderson CJ-411 In this paper I will be analyzing the various aspects of American culture in terms of drug use and abuse particularly marijuana‚ such as legislation‚ the media’s relationship to drug use‚ drug use and advertising. I have chosen to discuss the time period spanning from 1950-2000. According to the research‚ marijuana is the most used drug in the U.S. besides tobacco

AmirAshkan Semyary By using the techniques of genetic engineering scientists are able to modify genetic materials so that a particular gene of interest from one cell can be incorporated into a different cell. It is necessary to obtain a gene to modify genetic material. First a scientist isolates plasmid DNA from bacteria and DNA carrying a gene of interest from cells of another organism‚ such as an animal. A piece of DNA containing the gene is inserted into a plasmid‚ producing recombinant DNA

IODINE TEST FOR STARCH The Iodine test is used to test for the presence of starch. Iodine solution — iodine dissolved in an aqueous solution of potassium iodide — reacts with the starch producing a purple black color. The colour can be detected visually with concentrations of iodine as low as 0.00002M at 20°C. However the intensity of the colour decreases with increasing temperature and with the presence of water-miscible‚ organic solvents such as ethanol. Also the test cannot be done at very low
