Abstract Human behavioral traits or personality are commonly referred to as ones individuality‚ of which is generally considered to be influenced and developed by the environment. However‚ recent studies have uncovered genetic factors that suggest a more biological origin for behavior; which is suggestive that our personality/behavior or parts there of‚ may possibly be inherited. Does this mean I am who I am explicitly due to the people I come from? Or does it mean I did not come here preprogrammed

Environment protection Agency shows that every nearly 40‚000 children in India are affected by respiratory diseases caused by the growth of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Air pollutants are continually poisoning our bones and the most susceptible to pollution are children below five years and elderly persons above 50 years. In general‚ those who have hyper-responsiveness to the presence of pollutants are bit harder than others. Air pollutants increase the risk of lung disease in asthma patients. Women

Genetic engineering hasn’t been around long‚ but since its inception‚ it has been a very controversial issue. In fact‚ it has become one of the most controversial ideas in science‚ people agreeing and disagreeing left and right. It is really a moral dilemma the question is‚ is it actually wrong? To make a conclusion about this issue the best thing to do is to look at the advantages and disadvantages of the issue. Genetic engineering has multiple advantages it can help make cures for diseases and

Examining Mendel’s “First Law”: Observing Anthocyanin in Brassica rapa Abstract The foundation of genetics lies with the principles that Gregor Mendel outlined after his experiments with pea plants where he discovered the relationship between physical characteristics‚ or phenotype‚ and genetic traits‚ or genotype. This experiment aimed to reproduce Mendel’s results with the Brassica rapa plant‚ noted for it’s fast generation time‚ and anthocyanin‚ a purple pigment that can be visually tracked

Air Pollution To understand pollution of air‚ some knowledge of the atmosphere is required. Atmosphere is a layer consisting of a few gases surrounding the planet earth and is vital for the survival of life on earth. The atmosphere protects earth from abrupt temperature fluctuations from the powerful ultra violet radiation coming from the sun. The atmosphere is made up of nitrogen 78%‚oxygen 21%‚argon 0.9%‚carbon dioxideo0.03% and small amount of trace gases ‚helium ‚neon‚ krypton‚ xenon‚ hydrogen

Genetic engineering in general Pros|Cons| With the discovery of DNA and unravelling the genetic code it contains‚ molecular biologists have finally come close to understanding what determines the form and function of organisms and can use this to design organisms at will. This is illustrated by the experiments on the transgenic fruit fly which has eyes on its antennae (Walter Gehring‚ Basel Biocentre‚ Switzerland. see the year 1994 in http://www.ifgene.org/history.htm ). This new technology will

1. Define genotype and phenotype‚ and describe how they are related. Genotype is the genetic make-up‚ the inheritable information‚ which comprises an individual organism. It is the code that is copied in reproduction and is passed from 1 generation to the next. It serves as the main guide in the growth‚ development and maintenance of a living organism; it also controls the formation of certain proteins and regulation of metabolism and synthesis. Alleles are alternative forms of a gene and genotype

Genetic Testing Essay Genetic testing is the analysis and examination of DNA‚ which is a line of code carrying instructions of your body’s function. Genetic testing reveals changes in the genes‚ usually things that will cause diseases and illnesses. Just because genetic testing provides a window of opportunity to prepare yourself from diseases‚ it cant really prevent an illness in some cases because it often really does nothing but give you a “maybe‚ maybe not”.
