Holoprosencephaly or HPE is a genetic disorder that affects the brain‚ face‚ and sometimes the body. This genetic mutation is present while the child is still in the embryonic stage of development in the mother’s womb. The most identifiable mutation is caused by the addition of chromosome thirteen or trisomy thirteen. In other cases HPE is caused by abnormalities in the genes SHH‚ SIX3‚ TGIF‚ ZIC2‚ PTCH1‚ FOXH1‚ NODAL‚ CDON‚ and GLI2. These genes play an important role in the embryo’s development

1. One patient has a grade I tumor of the lung‚ while another patient has a grade IV tumor of the lung. Explain how tumors in various stages are similar and how they differ. (1 point) Both stage I and stage IV lung cancer is presented with cellular differentiation‚ loss of normal tissue structure‚ as well as irregular size and shape of the nucleus. Normal cells are able to divide and die cancer cells are pile up on top of each other forming a tumor. The staging and grading of cancer depends on

Julie Brown Models of Abnormality PSYC 205 Shadia Ibrahim June 20‚ 2014 Abnormal psychology is the branch of psychology that studies unusual patterns of behavior‚ emotion and thought‚ which may or may not underlie a mental disorder. There are several models used to explain the nature and treatment of mental illness. A model is a set of assumptions and concepts that help scientists explain and interpret observations. Over the past half-century‚ improvements in clinical research has resulted in

Outline and evaluate the behavioural approach to abnormality This approach focuses on the behaviour of the person to explain psychological abnormalities. It believes that the behaviour is learnt‚ and therefore can be unlearnt. It focuses on 3 different things: classical conditioning‚ operant conditioning and social learning theory. Classical conditioning was developed by Pavlov through his work on animals. He explained the development of abnormal behaviours through stimulus-response associations

The Sexual Response Cycle Human sexual behavior or human sexual practice refers to the manner in which humans experience and express their sexuality. It encompass a wide range of activities such as strategies to find or attract partners (mating and display behavior)‚ interactions between individuals‚ physical or emotional intimacy‚ and sexual contact. Our minds and bodies can respond sexually to a variety of stimuli—including sight‚ sound‚ smell‚ touch‚ taste‚ movement‚ fantasy‚ and

Good morning everyone‚ Genetics is the study of how living organisms pass on traits to each generation. It also explores the variations in every make-up of cells. Every living organism contains instruction manuals inside of their body. These instruction manuals are called genes. (Medicine‚ What is a gene?‚ 2015)Genes lie in long strands of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) called chromosomes. DNA containing genes form structures call chromosomes. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. Chromosomes are made

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

Human Cloning: Genetic Advancement or Genetic Manipulation? Some people might argue that the real offense would be to hinder the progress of science and experimental investigation with regard to human cloning. That to do so would mean to deny the right to scientifically explore and gain from such. Exploration and discovery in advanced technologies and science quite often proves to be beneficial to mankind; however‚ even though human cloning capabilities may tempt man’s inherently diabolical God-playing
