    ABSTRACT The microevolution of Alu element TPA-25 was tested in the experiment through the examination‚ observation‚ and analysis of population alleles distribution under the Hardy-Weinberg Theory of Genetic Equilibrium. Alu elements affect the genome by causing insertion mutations‚ recombination between elements‚ gene conversion‚ and alterations in gene expression. In the lab PCR was used to amplify a short piece of DNA from human genome which allowed us to look for a DNA sequence called an Alu

    Subsumption Theory  (David Ausubel) Ausubel’s theory is concerned with how individuals learn large amounts of meaningful material from verbal/textual presentations in a school setting (in contrast to theories developed in the context of laboratory experiments). According to Ausubel‚ learning is based upon the kinds of superordinate‚ representational‚ and combinatorial processes that occur during the reception of information. A primary process in learning is subsumption in which new material is related

    bioengineering have helped us develop a better understanding of the origins from which humans and other living creatures spur. The discovery of the Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the key to all bioengineering. The DNA is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms and some viruses. The main role of DNA molecules is the long-term storage of information. An allele is one of two or more forms of the DNA sequence of a particular

    Two biological processes which control our stress response involve the hypothalamus and the autonomic nervous system. When a human is under threat‚ the sympathetic branch of the automatic nervous system becomes active and sends a signal to the adrenal medulla. Similarly‚ when the body is no longer under threat‚ the parasympathetic branch sends the body into a more relaxed state. Therefore‚ the human body will automatically react when the body is under threat or stressed and then help itself go back
