for diagnosis‚ treatment and prevention of sleeping sickness. If one has a genomic education and know about the entire gene and their sequences. And they will be able to understand how the availability of the genome sequences of trypanosomatid parasites has set high hopes for the discovery of new drug targets using a reverse pharmacology approach. Reverse pharmacology contrasts with traditional drug discovery by starting with the genome as the source of all potential targets and then eliminating

Evolution as a theory * Theory- in science‚ a well substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world Evolution- the accumulation of inherited genetic changes within populations over generations * Does not refer to changes that occur in an individual within its lifetime * Not limited to speciation that may only occur over long periods of time * Can occur over a few generations‚ and is most commonly expressed as an adaptation to a changing environment or the change in allele

Ch. 2: Fundamentals of Epidemiology Causality: determining the cause of a disease Screening test: test given to people who have no symptoms to check for the presence of a particular disease Natural History of Disease: the course of disease if left untreated Latency period: time from start of disease process until signs/symptoms appear (Incubation period: time b/w infection & clinical disease) Nonclinical stage: no signs/symptoms present – pathologic changes occur Preclinical – sings/symptoms

Cells Cell Theory- Cells are the smallest units of life All organisms are made of one or more cells All cells come from pre-existing cells Cells are organized Organelles- compartments that perform different functions in the cell Cells can be prokaryotic or eukaryotic Eukaryotes (Animals‚ plants‚ and fungi) Contain: Nucleus Membrane bound organelles Prokaryotes Nucleoid- region that contains DNA Flagellum Characteristics of Chloroplasts and Mitochondria (similar to Prokaryotic Cells)

ARE WE STILL EVOLVING? Are We Still Evolving? Kenneth Posley ITT-Technical Institute Are We Still Evolving? The answer to the question at hand is some-what debatable among certain communities and also a bit perplexing to the general population. Undoubtedly we are‚ with the world’s population at 7 billion people we are apparently evolving because we are still reproducing and at an alarming rate. But something incredibly weird has happened to human evolution. Only 0.1% of the human genome

2 Review of Related Literature 2.1 The Significance of Using Models A model is a schematic description of a system‚ theory‚ or phenomenon that accounts for its known or inferred properties and may be used for further study of its characteristics. Thus in organizational models are schematic description of an organization as a system of different components. Models are important in organizational study because of the following reasons: • They enhance understanding of organizational behavior.

John Frelinger Dr. Travis Organic Evolution 30 April 2012 Evolution of the Immune System Animals are constantly bombarded by an immensely varied array of disease causing pathogens including bacteria‚ fungi‚ viruses and other parasites. The number of microbes living in the human body outnumber the actual human cells by a factor of 10‚ and for every single species of animal and plant on Earth‚ there are viruses that infect them. With the unrelenting threat of disease-causing pathogens all around
