An assay is an investigative (analytic) procedure in laboratory medicine, pharmacology, environmental biology and molecular biology for qualitatively assessing or quantitatively measuring the presence or amount or the functional activity of a target entity (the analyte). The analyte can be a drug or biochemical substance or a cell in an organism or organic sample.[1][2] The measured entity is generally called the analyte, or the measurand or the target of the assay. The assay usually aims to measure

Species and Evolution Rasmussen College Dana Voicinco G156/BSC1548 Section 02 Human Biology - Online – 2016 Winter Quarter A species is defined as a group of organisms, which, under natural conditions, tend to interbreed and produce fertile offspring. A species is the biggest gene pool possible under natural conditions. If we look different does not mean we belong to different species. Organisms may appear to be alike and be different species, or may look different and be considered the

2009, 2007 by University of Phoenix. All rights reserved. Course Description This course applies a broad, conceptual understanding of biology. Students are introduced to scientific ideologies and concepts that not only shape the biological world, but also shape humans. Students examine the scientific method, evolution and biodiversity, the biology of cells, physiology, the dynamics of inheritance, and the effect humans have on the environment. The text emphasizes methods and the theoretical

Honors Biology 4 March 2015 “Ancient viruses regenerated from 700- year- old frozen reindeer poop” Scientists have detected two ancient viruses in an ice patch located in Northern Canada. The specimen that scientists have observed is from reindeer feces, dating back about 700 years ago. This discovery is very important to the field of genetics, because it provides evidence upon how the viruses evolved, and the old compared to new biology. Even with the new techniques in molecular genetics, it

Darwin’s impact on Society Charles Darwin was born in Shrewsbury, England on February 12, 1809. He was a great humored, pleasant man (“Darwin’s, Charles Robert.”). Darwin’s education was began by his older sisters after the premature death of his mother (“Darwin’s, Charles Robert.”). In 1817, he was sent to a (day school) in Shrewsbury, where he was found to be slow in learning; a year later he was entered at Shrewsbury School under Dr. Samuel Butler. He was then removed from school in 1825 and

Life course is a map of what is expected to happen at the various stages of the human life cycle. In today’s modern world biology alone no longer controls the life course and huge variety is now found e.g. getting married, having children, where you will live. Life expectancy is an estimate of the number of years a person can expect to live, on average. Developmental norms

In my opinion, human existence is a result of the evolution of a single organism. As Charles Darwin suggested, I think that genetic mutations, natural selection, and habitat played key roles in how multiple species emerged. Throughout school, biology classes have taught the anatomy of plant and animal cells. With exception to a few minor differences

The subject encompasses many of the life sciences and would allow me to gain knowledge of several different disciplines. Combining knowledge of physiology from biology and with the structure of substances learnt in chemistry provides me the rigorous scientific background that is crucial in the neuroscience course. My understanding of molecules and chemical concepts developed in ‘A’ Level Chemistry will prepare
