In a natural population‚ there are a number of species with similar characteristics‚ though variation is still apparent in the population. This gives certain individuals advantages over others in its population. Adding a different species into that population with more favourable characteristics will ruin the chances of survival for the natural population. An example of this is the transgenic species and the impact they can have on genetic diversity. A transgenic specie or a transgene is basically

Reye Syndrome Reye Syndrome is an extremely rare‚ non-contagious disease thought to be triggered by aspirin use. The actual origin of the disease is unknown. Reye’s Syndrome‚ occasionally called Reye-Jacobsen’s Syndrome‚ is known to follow any viral infection. Two of the most common viral infections it precedes is influenza‚ "the flu"‚ and chicken pox. A now-familiar warning on bottles of aspirin‚ most notably Tylenol‚ is not to give Tylenol to a child who is recovering from the chicken

Chris Brunelle Biology 112-online Professor Gaskin September 10‚ 2014 Minimal Organism “A minimal genome is generally defined as the smallest set of genes that allows for replication of the organism in a particular environment (Cho‚ M.‚ 1999). The creation of these minimal genomes can be helpful and harmful at the same time. There are many opinions out there about the subject‚ I will share some of those and my position on the subject. First let me just start with my personal position on minimal

Biological weapons are living organisms‚ whatever their nature‚ or the materials that are created because of their use. Biological weapons can cause disease or death in living organisms‚ and are depended upon for their further ability to multiply inside the organism that it attacks. Chemical weapons are defined as chemical substances of gas‚ liquid‚ or solid which are used because of a directly toxic effect upon humans‚ animals‚ or plants. Even though the two weapons are closely related‚ chemical

Results Larval Studies Normal Honey Bee Development of the Control Plate By day two‚ it seemed that three of the larvae did not survive due to their small size compared to the others. By day four‚ it seemed that four did not survive; however‚ movement was present in the others. By day eight‚ most of the larvae died due to mold development. However‚ three of the larvae started to progress into the pupal stage‚ but some of them did not complete the transformation. At day eleven‚ there were signs of

Dr. Barry James Marshall is an Australian physician who is significant for discovering Helicobacter Pylori (H. pylori) as the most common cause of peptic ulcers. Scientists and physicians ridiculed Dr. Marshall for his idea at the time. During the time Dr. Marshall began his work‚ the scientific community agreed that peptic ulcers were the result of various phenomena such as stress‚ spicy food and the stomach overproducing acid. Scientists at the time also believed it was impossible for bacteria

Tularemia is caused by the bacteria Francisella tularensis. It infects both animals and humans.
