February 20th‚ 2014 Lab report 4 Abstract This pBlu lab had for purpose to present the changes of the strain of E. coli bacteria due to new genetic information being introduced into the cell. In this experiment we are freezing and heat shocking the E. Coli bacteria that is then forced to take the plasmid DNA. The E. coli then transforms the pBLu plasmid‚ which carries the genes coding for two identifiable phenotypes. After following the Carolina Biological steps our lab worked well and we able

done on the genetic causes of Sickle Cell Anemia and how it developes‚ as well as it’s effects on the circulatory‚ muscular‚ and respiratory systems‚ as well as it’s effects on the joints and other systems of the body‚ and the complications associated with them. Most of the research has been done to explore on the reasons why it mostly effects the African-American community and people who are from the West Coast of Africa. It has also been known that Sickle Cell Anemia also effects people from the

Dangers of Cell Phones While Driving In today’s society most of us have become very attached to our cell phones. They have become a very large part of our lives because they simplify communication‚ and they help us with everyday tasks. However‚ when used while driving in a car‚ cell phones can become very dangerous or even deadly by distracting drivers from the road. Using a cell phone while driving can include talking‚ texting‚ or navigating through a smartphone app. In fact‚ using your cellphone

Sickle Cell Disease Physical-Adult • Eye problems. The retina‚ the "film" at the back of the eye that receives and processes visual images‚ can deteriorate when it does not get enough nourishment from circulating red blood cells. Damage to the retina can be serious enough to cause blindness. • Jaundice‚ or yellowing of the skin‚ eyes‚ and mouth. Yellowing of skin and eyes. These are signs of jaundice‚ resulting from rapid breakdown of red blood cells. • Delayed growth and puberty in children

Hydrogen Fuel Cells There are many reasons to look for new cleaner forms of energy. Fossil fuels‚ being non-renewable‚ will eventually run out. Pollution from burning fossil fuels destroys our environment. Hydrogen fuel cells could be used many places where fossil fuels are currently being used. Using hydrogen as a form of energy can not only reduce our dependence on imported oil‚ but also benefit the environment by reducing emissions of greenhouse gases and pollutants that affect our air quality

contemporary biological issue Introduction Stem cells are undifferentiated cells able to differentiate into specialized cell types. These are used for stem cell treatment‚ which is an intervention strategy that introduces new adult stem cells into damaged tissue in order to treat disease or injury. For over 30 years‚ bone marrow and‚ more recently‚ umbilical cord blood stem cells have been used to treat cancer patients with leukaemia and lymphoma because during chemotherapy most growing cells are killed‚ but a donor’s

However‚ the cell phone remains just as much of a groundbreaking device that divides people in very powerful ways. There are some who strongly back the product and those who stand strongly against it with very valid reasons. At times‚ the cell phone serves as a powerful communication device for humans and as a

Functions of the cells The functions of cells are shown in the body which is comprised entirely of cells. Every cell also has its own or more than one job to do. The cell membrane The cell membrane also known as the - plasma membrane. It consist of two layers of a fatty type substance. Its function is to protect the inside and the outside of the cell by allowing certain substances into the cell‚ while keeping other substances out. It also serves as a base of attachment for the cytoskeleton in some
