discussed in class about human embryos and stem cell research in the framework of a trolley problem. In this scenario‚ five men arrive at a reputable hospital for severe injuries that will be fatal if they do not get the treatment they need. To make things simple‚ the specifics of the injuries are not important‚ however‚ doctors at this hospital have all come to the consensus that these men will not live unless

Discussion The various stages of nuclear division were observed in this experiment. These stages are prophase‚ metaphase‚ anaphase and telophase. There are two types of nuclear division include mitosis and meiosis. Mitotic cell division is involved in the formation of an adult organism from a fertilized egg‚ asexual reproduction‚ regeneration‚ and maintenance or repair of body parts. Mitosis typically results in new somatic‚ or body cells. Meiosis results in the formation of either gametes in animals

death? They have to first find out what tumors need to grow‚ what can kill a tumor‚ and what happens when a tumor is a solid. For a tumor to grow it must obtain from the body’s blood supply all the food and nutrients it needs to make more cancer cells. If a tumor doesn’t get the food and nutrients the it won’t grow. To get these foods and nutrients tumors leak out substances into thesurrounding tissues that encourage angiogenesis‚ the formation of small blood vessels. This call for more blood vessels

3/14/2013 Values Science is undoubtedly a very important part of growing as the human race. It has improved our lives drastically from the first stone tools‚ to iPods and cars we drive. But what is it really that matters when it comes to science? Material things are not the only things that science gives humanity. Richard Feynman explains his point of view of the values of science‚ and on how science is used to create things beneficial and afflicting‚ how the values behind science are affected

Normal cells undergo cell division in an orderly process known as the cell cycle. In this process‚ normal cells send chemical signals to pass between neighboring cells. This keeps the rate of cell division equal to the rate of cell death. Cancer cells break free from normal constraints and follows it’s own pattern of cell division. Cancer cells divide much more often than normal cells which produces a mass of cells‚ also called a tumor. Proto-oncogenes makes proteins that encourage cell division. These

Cell division in animals: mitosis‚ cytokinesis‚ and the cell cycle. Cell division in animals is a two-step process involving mitosis and cytokinesis and is set up by interphase. Interphase is a growth period for the cell. In the nucleus the chromosomes are duplicated but are not yet distinguishable because they are still a form of chromatin. There is also a nucleoli‚ one or more‚ present producing ribosomes that are sent to the cytoplasm. Mitosis is the division of the nucleus and multiplication

Introduction Using microscopes allows humans to see things they’ve otherwise would have never seen before‚ like cells. A cell is the basic unit of life. All living things are made of cells. All cells come from preexisting cells through a process called cellular division. There are two types of cells‚ eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Prokaryotes are very simple and small. They are unicellular and have no membrane bound organelles. Their DNA is found directly in the cytoplasm since they have no nucleus

meiosis I and meiosis II. Both divisional sequences have sub-stages such as‚ prophase (I‚ II)‚ prometaphase (I‚ II)‚ metaphase (I‚ II)‚ anaphase (I‚ II)‚ and telophase (I‚ II) that is continued by cytokinesis (I‚ II)‚ which is not part of meiosis. The cell undergoes different changes and transformations before and during meiosis‚ such as replication and condensation of chromosomes‚ duplication of centrosome‚ disappearance of nuclear envelope and the nucleus itself and more. During the first stage of

Cell Transportation Lab Eggs are a great example of a cell. Underneath the hard shell is a thin membrane that is just like the cell membranes in your cells. There are microscopic pores in the membrane that allow substances to move in and out of the cell. Way Cool! Recall that the function of the cell membrane is to control the internal balance of the cell. It helps to maintain homeostasis. In this lab you will use vinegar‚ an acid‚ to dissolve the shell off of the egg to expose the membrane
