The development of Dictyostelium discoideum was compared in two varying temperatures after 30 hrs of development. The D. discoideum cultures were observed for developmental differences in multicellular aggregate forms of slugs and fruiting bodies in 10°C and 22°C. The mean percent of organisms was higher in less developed stages for both temperatures. The average percent of aggregates were higher at 41.625% for the D. discoideum cultures that developed at 22°C. The average precent of fingers were

The Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST)‚ which has also‚ been referred to as the Denver Scale. This test was initially developed by Dr. William Franken to be used as a tool for screening cognitive and behavioral problems in children for birth to the age of six. In 1992 a revision of the DDST and now is referred to as the Denver II. The Denver II has been use by clinician‚ teachers and other early childhood professionals to monitor and gage the development of children through their pre-school

Prospective. In this article it explains the different effects of spinal bifida within different domains‚ with an effort to promote awareness and different treatments. This article also focuses on treatment strategies and that can help with the developmental disabilities associated with Spinal Bifida. Spinal Bifida is the leading neurological disorder that is congestive. It is a life long struggle when someone

Many advancements in the field of genetics have occurred in the recent decades. Predicted to be the future of genetics‚ a new form of gene therapy known as CRISPR is one of the most revolutionary breakthroughs in history. The argument I would like to make is that although CRISPR has the capability to prevent serious disorders such as cystic fibrosis and Huntington’s disease‚ it is too dangerous given its novelty and safety and ethical concerns. Having discussed this technology in several classes

blastospore undergoes spiral cleavage diagonal cell division and determinate cleavage where the developmental fate of cells are fixed early. By contrast in Caecilians‚ the blastospore develops into the anus first and the mouth formed from the second opening to embryonic gut. The blastospore undergoes radial cleavage which cell divisions parallel and perpendicular and also indeterminate cleavage where the developmental fate of cells fixed at later stages. Oligochaetas are detritus feeders as they feed on non

Caitie Lawrence November 27‚ 2012 Biology Period 1 Stem Cell Debate I think that we should stick to researching adult stem cells because it is more ethical‚ better success rate than embryonic cells‚ and they are more knowledgeable to the people. Adult stem cells are controversial but way less than embryonic stem cells. Stem cells are found in all multicellular organisms and are divided through mitosis. Adult stem cells are found in various tissues. Adult stem cells can be regenerated into specialized

Investigating Effects of duration of heating on permeability of beetroot cell membrane Introduction: Cell membranes contain many different types of molecules which have different roles in the overall structure of the membrane. Phospholipids form a bilayer‚ which is the basic structure of the membrane. Their non-polar tails form a barrier to most water soluble substances. Membrane proteins serves as channels for transport of metabolites‚ some act as enzymes or carriers‚ while some are receptors

focused on Schmidtea mediterranea planarians found in Tusinia and southern Europe which are extensively used as a model organism to study development and regeneration process (Newmark 2012). Schmidtea mediterranea are chosen by researcher in molecular biology and genetics field because these planarians have diploid chromosomes and are hermaphrodite i.e. having both asexual and sexual component (Sànchez 2005). Planarians have unique ability to regenerate complete individual from a tiny body part i.e. small
