I have studied a variety of subjects such as animal biology‚ genetics‚ comparative vertebrate anatomy‚ immunology‚ plant biology‚ biochemistry‚ and animal behavior. I have been challenged in new ways to think‚ when I fail I seek to find new approaches to solutions and remain persistent. Biochemistry was a very difficult course‚ with may cycles and chemical

Genetic engineering is a powerful and potentially very dangerous tool. To alter the sequence of nucleotides of the DNA that code for the structure of a complex living organism‚ can have extremely ill effects although the potential benefits can be huge. Before advances in genetic applications‚ gene therapy was unheard of and genetic defects were always inherited‚ plaguing generations. Today genetic testing is widely available‚ such as prenatal karyotyping of chromosomes to check for genetic abnormalities

Luck was a factor because‚ at the time a beer company’s beer was going off‚ so they decided to ask Pasteur for help. He then found that germs were the cause of the beer going bad. so therefore luck was most certainly a factor.Each area of land would be split into four sections. The crop that was grown on each field would be rotated so that different nutrients would be taken from the land. In the first year turnips or another root crop would be grown; in the second year barley was grown in the field
