How do the four biological explanations fit together to explain schizophrenia or are they mutually exclusive? The biological explanation can be divided into subcategories to explain schizophrenia; genetic‚ biochemistry (dopamine hypothesis)‚ brain structure and season of birth explanation. Firstly there’s genetics. This view says some people posses certain genes that predispose them to schizophrenia. However‚ if schizophrenia was totally and always inherited then concordance rates between MZ

Educational- when we look at the educational levels of people and the actions that they take we see that those with low educational levels may produce actions that others with higher educational levels may not make. If we are looking at a person’s level of education concerning religious views‚ such as Christianity‚ we would see that the person without the knowledge of what sins are that person may unknowingly commit a sin (McCall‚ 2011). We could also look at a person’s education in criminal or civil

Question: With the aid of specific examples‚ describe the concept of a hierarchy of biological organization. What is meant by the phrase “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts?” Answer: In an attempt to appreciate the world from a biological view of molecules‚ cells‚ and atoms; the study in which these properties build upon each other‚ called emergent properties‚ aid in understanding the human body and other life forms and the functions that nonliving matter contribute that assist

Genetic Modify Organisms Genetic Engineering Today many scientist use “genetic engineering” a new technology that manipulates the genes of many plants‚ bacteria and animals. This organisms are called genetic modified organism (GMOs) because their genetic material (DNA) has been changed in a way that it doesn’t occur naturally‚ it alters the organism’s genetic material through adding‚ deleting or changing the segments in the DNA. This technology is also referred to as "biotechnology" or "recombinant

Detection of Biological Molecules Introduction: Without carbon‚ nitrogen‚ hydrogen‚ sulfur‚ oxygen and phosphorus‚ life wouldn’t exist. These are the most abundant elements in living organisms. These elements are held together by covalent bonds‚ ionic bonds‚ hydrogen bonds‚ and disulfide bonds. Covalent bonds are especially strong‚ thus‚ are present in monomers‚ the building blocks of life. These monomers combine to make polymers‚ which is a long chain of monomers strung together. Biological molecules

The distinctions between bodies observed and imposed by our culture is where sociologists and theorists of gender identity find their theoretical interests aroused‚ poised for deconstruction action. This essay will visit the various approaches to gender realization under biological‚ interpersonal‚ or cultural. The essay will specify the one that I

evolutionary process that continues to this day. Crime is still a complex and misunderstood phenomenon with no concrete evidence when it comes to human behavior. Throughout time there have been endless amounts of crime theories‚ few of which revolve around biological explanations. We have Cesare Lombroso and the Positive School who thought that criminals were genetically different from the rest of the general population‚ that they were biologically aggressive‚ had criminal traits and/or born as criminals. There

Describe two biological therapies for schizophrenia and then evaluate each in terms of effectiveness (8 + 16 marks): One biological therapy is the use of typical anti-psychotic drugs‚ such as Chlorpromazine. The main aim of this drug is to treat schizophrenia by reducing the amount of dopamine in the brain. This is because high levels of dopamine are thought to cause schizophrenia‚ therefore by reducing the amount of dopamine‚ the symptoms of schizophrenia should reduce. Typical anti-psychotic drugs

9.7 Option – Genetics: The Code Broken? Contextual Outline Science has come a long way since Mendel’s important work on identifying the transmission of inherited factors across generations. The code for transmitting this genetic information has been identified and models have been developed to explain gene functioning. Transcription of the information into functional proteins is now well understood and models are being developed to test how genes direct the structure‚ function and development
