A common complaint many students have regarding GPA is that it doesn’t measure intelligence. I understand this on a basic level‚ yet I contend that it does measure work ethic and through that‚ intelligence. In the same way‚ I’m proud of my GPA not because of the connotation that I must be smart but because it describes my work ethic: who I am. Outside academia‚ most other numbers are irrelevant. An employer never asks for ACT scores on an application; no one outside the military cares for the ASVAB

Epigenome controls the genetics of the body by determining how cells differ from one another. The cells in our body all have the same genes‚ but it’s the epigenome that differentiate the cells to become skin cells‚ nose cells‚ liver cells‚ and heart cells. Skin cells are different from nose cells because the certain set of genes are turned off by the epigenome to express what that cell will become. For example in the video the fat mice with yellow coat have the agouti gene. When the mother is given

Biology Essay Genetic Engineering‚ also called Genetic Modification‚ is the direct manipulation of an organism’s genome using biotechnology. An organism that is generated through genetic engineering is considered to be a genetically modified organism (GMO). Humans have altered the genomes of species for thousands of years through artificial selection and more recently mutagenesis. Genetic Engineering as the direct manipulation of DNA by humans outside breeding and mutations has only existed
