There are a few theories on how our brain communicates and works; two of those theories being left-brain right-brain dominance and top-brain bottom-brain. In the article There Is No Left Brain/Right Brain Divide it states “We have developed a new theory built on another‚ frequently overlooked anatomical division of the brain‚ into its top and bottom parts. Among other things‚ the top part sets up plans and revises those plans when expected events do not occur; the bottom classifies and interprets

Male Brain vs. Female Brain: Is one Better than the Other? Differences between males and females have been an issue affecting our society for thousands of years. Why are we so different? Why are we so similar? Several scientists have attempted to explain these variations‚ all using different methods and approaches. A very controversial study by psychologist J. Philippe Rushton suggested that men are innately more intelligent than women. This study gave arousal to several studies that oppose it

to explore the topic of the infamous show Grey’s Anatomy which was created and directed by Shonda Rhimes. This television series has been up and running since 2005 and since then has reached 13 seasons and continuing to grow every season as we speak. Grey’s Anatomy was the best fit for a media analysis paper because within this show there is so much that goes on that topics could never not be debatable. Just as a slight overview for Grey’s Anatomy this is an ABC’s television series and this show

What genetic mutations produce the greatest risk of skin cancer? Cancer begins when one or more genes in a cell mutate. This either creates an abnormal protein or no protein at all‚ which causes mutated cells to multiply uncontrollably. The Most common gene to carry skin cancer would be the MC1R (melanocortin-1 receptor). Increasing evidence is showing that the greater number of variations in this gene‚ the greater the risk for melanoma. It also carries a more moderate risk that the CDKN2A mutation

Lab Title: Microscopy Objective: To learn how to use and care for a microscope and to know the parts of a compound microscope and to efficiently use the microscope to focus on specimen. Introduction A microscope is an optical instrument used for viewing very small objects‚ typically magnified several hundred times. It consist of different lenses such as: Scanning = 4X‚ Low power = 10X‚ High power = 40 or 43X‚ Oil Immersion = 100X. A microscope is an instrument

The uppermost strand in this structure is called the coding strand. The second strand that lies below the coding strand is called the template strand. In order for a RNA polymerase to go from the upper strand to the second strand it must go through the process called transcription. First‚ the RNA polymerase must attach on to one of the genes on the coding strand on DNA. Once the RNA polymerase attaches‚ it must then begin the process called initiation. This means that the RNA polymerase opens up
