I chose this article HPV in inner city teenagers because I remember hearing about the vaccine at the end of high school and being told it was probably too late for me to have the vaccine! I was interested in find out how many girls are getting the vaccine these days. I plan to have all my children, boys included vaccinated against HPV. As future health professional I may also find myself in the position to recommend the vaccine to the patients or clients I work with. The article states that the

Biotechnology tools and Techniques 1) Restriction enzymes Restriction enzymes are DNA-cutting enzymes found in bacteria (and harvested from them for use). Because they cut within the molecule, they are often called restriction endonucleases. In bacteria the restriction enzymes naturally provide immunity to the bacteria against bacteriphage by cutting viral DNA is that introduced into the cell (Fig. 2 Page 280). After being cut, the viral DNA becomes inactive and thus the phage cannot attack the

are restriction enzymes and ligases involved? What are “sticky ends” and how are they important to this process? What are DNA fingerprints, how are they made, and of what do they inform us? Understand the processes and importance of polymerase chain reaction and gel electrophoresis. Who were some of the major scientists (natural and social) whose work affected changes in the way the world was viewed in the 1800’s? What were some of Darwin’s observations in South America and the Galapagos

individuals by characteristics of their DNA, known as DNA profiling, is used in forensic science to establish the guilt or innocence of criminal suspects, to identify victims, to determine paternity, and to contribute to basic research. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is used to replicate certain regions of the DNA sample. The short tandem repeat (STR) analysis is used to compare the length of STR sequences at specific sites in the genome. In the restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis

1) State three genetic diseases that often occurred in adults. a) Atopic Dermatitis (AD) Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is a type of eczema by which it manifests in the skin of the whole body. It is classified as an overactive immune response to environmental factors (DermNet NZ 2015). A cardinal feature of AD is a dry skin that makes AD patients suffering. b) Familial Hypercholesterolaemia (FH) Familial Hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is caused by a gene alteration in which it involved in controlling the

asddsaProteins (/ˈproʊˌtiːnz/ or /ˈproʊti.ɨnz/) are large biomolecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues. Proteins perform a vast array of functions within living organisms, including catalyzing metabolic reactions, DNA replication, responding to stimuli, and transporting molecules from one location to another. Proteins differ from one another primarily in their sequence of amino acids, which is dictated by the nucleotide sequence of their genes, and

A Review: Genetics as a Predictor for Success for Elite Athletes Performing in Power vs. Endurance Sports Common wisdom tells us that a sprinter is highly unlikely to excel in a marathon, and vice versa. It is easy to conceive that genetic variation is a major source of such differences in athletic ability. Actually identifying these genetic causes requires classification of athletic traits and in depth data analysis. Every year the number of polymorphisms that are candidates to clarify individual

Case Study on Herpes Zoster Case Study on Herpes Zoster History of Present Illness: This is a case of a 27 year old Asian female who came to the clinic complaining of pain on her right hand. She states that it feels like “pins and needles going up to my arm” She denies fever but states that she feels body malaise. She claims to have slight loss of appetite because of the pain. Pain level is about 7-8/10, occurs continuously and is temporarily relieved by Tylenol 500 mg. She noted the appearance

Forensics Week 8 Trace evidence is often the key to an investigation and may be your only evidence. It is critical to understand what trace evidence can do for the investigator. What is the composition of vehicle paint layers? What is the best way to examine paint chips and how are they evaluated? How is soil collected and preserved at a crime scene. What standard/reference samples need to be collected? How is soil examined? What does the scientist look for? Trace evidence is

Epidemic Paper Ebola In the late 2014 and early 2015 there was this great outbreak of deadly Ebola in many countries in West Africa. The Ebola virus disease was formerly referred as Ebola hemorrhagic fever. The outbreak has happened in the past, but the recent one was a massive. It proclaimed much life that the west was a no-go zone due to fear of transmission. Due to the collaboration of many world health organizations and non-government organizations the epidemic was controlled and maintained
