Reflection: SS Chapters 6 & 7 I believe that there is much that we take for granted in our world today. One of these things we take for granted in the instant “treatment” for plants. We do so without even a second thought or consideration and continue to let it happen year after year. We also take for granted our everyday dependencies that stem from nature. I then question what it would take for us to realize our dependency on nature and to respect it as such. On page 73 of the reading‚ it discusses

In Chapters 30-31 Jeremiah discusses a new covenant stressing that God will forgive the Israelites for their sins and renew his relationship with them. This forgiveness comes in a few different forms. The first form that is mentioned is in terms of physical possessions. The people are told that they will enter exile and 70 years later be returned. This exile will damage the people’s identity and strip them of almost all their earthly possessions. After exile God will restore their wealth in

Calvin Williams Chapter 20 1. Advances in recombinant DNA technology allow scientists to work with smaller fragments of DNA‚ give them more tools to dissect and analyze DNA‚ and also allow for them to make many copies of a strand of DNA. 2. Restriction enzymes are made by bacteria to cut up invading DNA. They target specific base sequences in the DNA and then work to cut out those sequences from the DNA. 3. When a restriction enzyme cuts out a portion of DNA‚ it will sometimes leave a sticky

Biology has been the most interesting and appealing subject I have taken. Taking the course as a freshman‚ and the AP course as a junior‚ has really influenced my choice of a potential major. The course taught me how to be more studious and efficient with the information I retain. It is a puzzle‚ in which you piece together process by process‚ step by step. AP Biology also enhanced my collaboration skills. The course is very rigorous and challenging‚ and I struggled often trying to do it all by myself
