The uppermost strand in this structure is called the coding strand. The second strand that lies below the coding strand is called the template strand. In order for a RNA polymerase to go from the upper strand to the second strand it must go through the process called transcription. First‚ the RNA polymerase must attach on to one of the genes on the coding strand on DNA. Once the RNA polymerase attaches‚ it must then begin the process called initiation. This means that the RNA polymerase opens up

Anatomy of a False Confession Depending on what study is read‚ the incidence of false confession is less than 35 per year‚ up to 600 per year. That is a significant variance in range‚ but no matter how it is evaluated or what numbers are calculated‚ the fact remains that false confessions are a reality. Why would an innocent person confess to a crime that she did not commit? Are personal factors‚ such as age‚ education‚ and mental state‚ the primary reason for a suspect to confess? Are law

Osteoporosis Anatomy & Physiology 250 CASE - Module 2 Osteoporosis is a condition of low bone density that can progress silently over a long period of time. Osteoporosis has no symptoms until a fracture occurs‚ which causes bone pain‚ height loss‚ and abnormal spine curvature. If a fracture is determined to be due to osteoporosis‚ it is considered a pathological fracture‚ which is a break of a diseased or weakened bone without any identifiable trauma or following a minor injury that would

High or Low Blood Pressure? Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to compare blood pressure as related to gender and athletic status. Hypothesis: I predict that males have a higher blood pressure than women and athletes have a higher blood pressure than non athletes Background Info: Blood pressure is the amount of force that blood pushes against the inside walls of blood vessels as it passes through. This pressure

effects that exercise has on cardiovascular functions such as mean blood pressure‚ cardiac output‚ and total peripheral resistance by comparing each numerical function’s numerical data before and after exercise. Before exercise‚ the mean blood pressure (MPB) was 84.03 mmHg with a standard deviation of 10.3. After exercise‚ MBP was 92.19 with a standard deviation of 10.5. The cardiac output (CO) before exercise was 5.45 Liters/minute with a standard deviation of 0.98. After exercise‚ CO was 11.05
