Nature is “the genetic makeup that influences the brain”. So, the genetic makeup are the genes from both mom and dad that makes the sex of the child, and the child’s skin, hair, and eye color. As the child is growing they are observing and taking characteristics after their parents or caregiver, such their personality, behavior, and intelligence. Nature also deal with the basic aspects of life such as learning how to walk, talk, pick up and use basic tools, and imitate other. Nurture is the “physical

Changing one’s beliefs is difficult in modern time, but imagine way back in the 19th century: it was nearly impossible. The evolutionary theory was close to impossible to get the public to comprehend since the theory challenged religion and the precious story of the creation of life that is exclusively found in the Bible. Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace were brave enough to challenge creationism, which was believed by many people around the world. Charles Darwin, born in the United Kingdom

I have visited to the Dallas Fort Worth museum of science and history last summer. It was a great experience and has recognized a lot about the scientific and historic facts about ancient days. It was a really worth visiting and I got to know many more things about the Pre-Columbian ceramic figures of United States. The history of the museum was it was open on May 21, 1941 as a museum for children and has a wide range of collections. It was also built to appreciate the biological collections and

Genetics and genomics are two terms that are often inaccurately. Genetics is the study of the impact that single genes have on the way in which certain characters are passed from one generation to the next. Genomics is the study of an organism’s genes. The difference between both of these terms is that genetics looks at the effects of genes and their variety of inherited traits whereas genomics is the study of the function, structure and mapping of the human genome. There is a great difference between

Curiosity is a common human instinct that has lead to the beginning of many revolutions in the scientific world. As we advance as a population and team up with diverse individuals worldwide, we are able to piece together new information that can help us understand how all the diverse organisms on earth arose. One of the most astonishing populations of organisms that seems to continuously baffle scientists is the Drosophilia fly. This Drosophilia has been said to have branched from one species of

SHORT REACTION #7 Nancy Scheper-Hughes reports that the American Medical Association is reflecting on options that include a “futures market” for organs that would operate through deals. The pervasiveness of this grisly commodification of body parts lead Scheper-Hughes to pessimistically conclude that “the very idea of organ scarcity has to be questioned. It’s an artificially created need, invented by transplant technicians and dangled before the eyes of an ever-expanding sick, aging, and dying

Natural selection, a concept conceived by Charles Darwin, is one of the most important ideas about the natural world. It states that environmental variables decide the course of life and its evolutions to produce constituents with the most favorable traits. It is prevalent and intangible; it is trial and error in its most beautiful form. However, natural selection is not just limited to the agrarian world, its patterns can be observed in society too. In the process of natural selection, there is

“Be A Hero - Become An Organ Donor” If you knew that you could, for sure, save someone’s life, would you? Do you hate waiting for something that you really want, or, perhaps, cannot live without? If your answer is yes, then you should become an organ donor today. Be a hero. We all know what it is like to have to wait for something that we really want, but we have never physically died because we didn’t have it. On average, twenty-two people die everyday while waiting for an organ. That brings the

VI) Discussion After reviewing the completed data charts after the experiment, some of the results supported the original hypothesis, but there was also evidence from the experiment that supported the idea that the recessive gene can also be strong throughout generations, and somewhat refuting the claim. The frequency table showed that the thumb, earlobe, and hairline all have the dominant trait more frequent. The dominant form frequency for earlobe was 65%, for the thumb was 75%, and hairline had

Humans are born with genetic mutations and malfunctions that lead to life-threatening diseases. Diseases such as cancer and alzheimer’s constantly cause suffering through families. This is why genetic testing and engineering is building up to modifying the genetic coding to the point where these diseases do not exist in the body. Not only that, genetic engineering could possibly get to a point in time in which they modify DNA for pleasing factors such as aesthetics, intelligence, talent, and personality
