Most chemotherapy drugs are designed to block DNA replication; majority of the generally and successfully drugs are DNA-damaging agents. The DNA targeting has proven to result in comparatively potent and discerning distribution of cancerous cells. Compounds which are empirically identified with anticancer activity have been indicated to target DNA as the crow flies or through enzyme inhibition which controls the integrity of the DNA of offers the DNA building blocks. With the revelation of the DNA structure various therapeutic modlaities have been established namely; the antimetabolites which, depletes the nucleotides comprising folic acid, an example being methotrexate. Alkylation agents ...

There is an ongoing debate of “nature vs. nurture” in the psychological field. How much of a person’s childhood experiences influence who that person becomes as an adult? Can a child with a happy “normal” childhood morph into a nefarious monster? Or could that child become a successful banker on Wall Street with a family of his or her own? However much the nature fact may come into play, it does not discount how strong a child’s experiences can play on his or her behaviors and interactions as an adult. In fact, it can be said that a child’s experiences can play just as big ...

Behavioral Genetics: Heritability

The quantitative fields of genetics started from 1920 have followed demonstration of statistical data showed that traits are that are commonly distributed may arise by means of multiple gene’s action and each one has relatively smaller effects. There are two ways of studying the methods of heritability and those are twin and adoption studies with respect to environmental factors. An environmental factor includes variance proportions explained by common or shared influences in the environment. For example a family member may be exposed to environmental disadvantages; furthermore the effects to the peculiar behavior may appear to be a ...

The issue of gene patenting is an interesting one, bringing up concerns about the extent to which we ‘own’ our cells, and what rights we have with them. While some believe that, for instance, organ donors do not have the right to tissue that they have donated, others think that there must be some sense of bodily ownership that must be accounted for in issues like these. To that end, the work of Schleiter (2009), Caplan (2010), Satel (2008), and Rubin (2010) will be examined in order to see the ways in which organ and tissue donation intersect with ...

Therapeutic recreation is a form of health practice that is focused on interventions to make people with disabilities to feel better. These interventions aim at improving their cognitive, social and physical functioning as far as any disability is concerned (Coyle and Shank 102). The definition of the word ‘disability’ is not clear to many people. Disability is seen to involve a lot of other things other than what is commonly known and perceived by most people as a disability. The Americans with Disability Act defines a person with disability as “anyone that has physical or mental impairment which limits ...

Why should anyone believe him? Yet that initial view through the microscope confirmed what he had nervously anticipated for days, as he now had to quickly decide who he should tell and, more importantly, when it should be said. Excitement shone on Stanley’s face as he saw his cell samples accepting the spider cytoplasm. He had drawn inspiration from Spiderman and decided that it was his calling to step into his favourite superhero’s shoes. For once he felt lucky for himself of being a biology student, which otherwise turned out as a regret at most of the times. He ...

In the family of the genogram, it appears that the tendency for a serious physical illness may be inherited. This is particularly likely, as both serious illnesses in this case are autoimmune problems, which are known to have genetic biases. There is also the possibility of a substance abuse tendency, although it has not yet shown up in the third generation. However, as the members of this generation are still young, the possibility of this happening remains. Also clear from the interactional pattern information, having a serious physical illness can result in hostile relationships with your relations whether you are close or ...
