AO1 2 Types – Genetic and Biochemical Genetic – depression seems to run in families and a number of studies have shown a correlation between the biological closeness of the relationship and the likelihood of developing depression. Biochemical imbalances in neurotransmitters cause depression; most notably noradrenalin‚ serotonin according to the permissive amine theory is a controller and dopamine.

Outline and evaluate the biological approach to psychopathology (12 marks) The biological approach is widely used in diagnosing and treating mental illness. The theory suggests that mental illnesses occur due to a physical cause. Physical causes include genetic inheritance‚ viruses‚ toxicity‚ physical trauma for example a head injury or perhaps an imbalance of hormones bought on by stress. These physical‚ external occurrences can distort thinking‚ emotion and behaviours in some people. Studies

A protein is a Biological polymer made up of as different amino acids joined by peptide bonds. A protein is formed by amino acids which are the basic building block of a protein components of an amino acid include a :C-carbon atom‚ H-Hydrogen atom‚ H3N+ - Amino Group‚ COOH- - Carboxyl Group‚ R- this group varies from amino acid to amino acid. There are 20 amino acids‚ each differing in its R group. Two examples are: Glycine‚ its R group being H(Hydrogen) and Phenylalanine its R group being CH2 (Carbon

Finally‚ it is argued that aggression is related to sex hormones‚ which can be changed. The empirical statements seem to be very questionable based on the existence of well-established sex differences in aggression.

This involves the identification of biological harm to individuals‚ as well as the collectivization of people with a common biological injury.

RESEARCH PAPER ON BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF ACTINOMYCETES ................ ABSTRACT: The microorganisms are ubiquitous in nature. They are found in probably every environmental condition present on earth. Actinomycetes were originally considered to be an intermediate group between bacteria and fungi but now are recognized as prokaryotic organisms with high G+C (>55%) content in their DNA. Our project aim is to evaluate some biological activities of Actinomycetes like:
