Essays on Inheritance

The chromosomal theory of inheritance is a theory that defines the role of the chromosomes in the execution of the process of Mendelian inheritance (Waddington, 2016). The theory makes a maximum application of the Mendelian laws of inheritance based on various observations. Some of the observations affiliate to the laws includes; the migration of the homologous pairs of chromosomes as discrete structures independent of the other pairs that exist in the same strand. In addition, the theory explains the random process of the pre-gamete occupation of each homologous pair of chromosomes (Waddington, 2016). The parent contributes half of the ...

The nature versus nurture argument is one of the oldest discussions in psychology. The debate revolves around the contributions of environmental factors and genetic inheritance to the growth and development of human beings (Zaky, 2015). Different branches of science rely on one part of the discussion. Nature is the influence of biological factors and genetic inheritance while nurture is the influence of external factors such as experience, exposure, and learning. This discussion is used in explaining medical conditions such as medical disorders and diseases such as diabetes. The position of medical professionals on this discussion can influence the kind ...

Gregor Mendel's studies laid the foundation for modern genetics. In a series of elegant experiments, Mendel was able to deduce the most fundamental laws of single-gene and multiple-gene inheritance without having the scientific data on chromosomes, their structure, or meiotic segregation. In this lab, you will learn about and apply examples for 3 different patterns of human inheritance of traits.

Punnett Square is a tool used to theoretically predict genotypes of the progeny from the genotypes of parents as a result of sexual reproduction. Genes from parental gametes are written as rows and columns of the Punnett Square. All ...

Human Genome Evolution and Disease

Genome evolution is one of the key aspects that have helped determine the overall position of human beings from a scientific perspective, as it focuses more on providing scientists with an understanding of the changes occurring within the human body (Tomkins, 2016, p.261). The study of genome evolution has focused more on evaluating the changes in structure, otherwise referred to as a sequence, and size of the human gene within a given period. The study provides scientists with a better understanding of the changes occurring within the human body as well as some of the changes that human beings ...

Based on the observed numbers of each phenotype in each generation of each cross hypothesize the parental cross and use the chi-square (x2) test and if there is little difference between the observed results and the expected results, the chi-square will have a low value, thus, the hypothesis will be supported in this case. ...

One of the recurring points of contention in the field of biology is the mode of hereditary acquisition of characteristics of an individual. Some maintain that it is primarily due to genetics, while others assert that the environment plays a major role in developing a person’s characteristics. This debate is also known in some circles as the ‘nature vs nurture’ debate, and given the scientific merits of each side, it can be said that each point of view can be considered probable in determining the quality of an individual. As it turns out, recent research suggests that both, ...

It has been said that if someone finds a job that he loves, he never actually has to work a day in his life since the job is so enjoyable and rewarding that it hardly feels like work. This idiom resonates with me because I believe that embarking upon my chosen vocation or calling for a tangible portion of my life will be challenging, rewarding, and enjoyable. As determined as I am to pursue the career of my choice, human resources manager, I understand both that I will need help achieving my objectives and that I will need to ...

Thesis Question: What is Whiteness and How Does it Shape Distinct Aspects in People’s lives such as Marriage, Interactions, Social policies, etc.?

Explain in general terms the process of DNA replication. The replication of the DNA starts when the double helix unwinds. Each of the two strands serves as the template using which the new DNA double helix strands are formed. The different bases on each of the two strands are then matched in order to form a new set of two strands. Each of the new strands partners with the parent strand to form a double helix (Roth 26).

Prophase – Chromatids are joined at the centromere. Spindle formation occurs. The separation of centrioles occurs in animal cells (Tobin and Jennie ...

Description

The Rett syndrome is originally known as cerebroatrophic hyperammonemia. It is a rare genetic disorder which commonly affects women although there are cases where it could be found in male patients. It is considered as a postnatal neurological disorder which affects the grey matter of the brain. Rett syndrome is also considered as a progressive disorder which affects the development of the brain. It is also considered as one of the common cause of mental disorders among women. It occur about 1 in 10,000 births and it typically develops at age 6 to 18 months. The signs or ...

In 1872, the 22-year-old George Huntington presented a paper describing an elaborately outlined inheritance pattern of a disease, which during the time was referred to as "chorea." In his paper, which was presented at the Meigs and Mason Academy of Medicine at Ohio, George described all the features of the adult-onset form of the disorder and outlined the disease’s autosomal-dominant pattern of inheritance. Although the mechanism underlying the inheritance pattern of the disease was not understood until the rediscovery of Mendel’s works, his paper was so comprehensive that George Huntington quickly became widely acclaimed. In fact, he ...

1. Explain in general terms the process of DNA replication. DNA replication refers to the process whereby DNA makes its own copy during the process of cell division. During this process, the DNA strands unzip themselves since helicase enzyme breaks the hydrogen bonds between the complementary strands. As this occurs, a replication fork is created. Each individual strand (leading and lagging) will be used as templates. A primer attaches itself to the leading strand and the synthesis of DNA begins, whereby DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to the synthesized strand. This is a continuous process and occurs in 5’ to ...

Marriage is a tradition that is practiced and honored all over the world. It signifies the birth of a relationship that grants couples the privilege to build families and an enduring kinship ties. Studies show that people who are happily married have more desirable benefits and experiences than those who are unmarried, cohabiting, widowed, or separated (Shariff 557). Specifically, married individuals have better parenting styles, stronger support systems, greater economic security, greater financial resources, healthier psychological status, more desirable emotional wellbeing, greater physical health, and longer life. Marriage practices in Western countries are different from those of other societies. ...

How I would evaluate the situation if I were a part of the ethics board

If I were a part of the ethics counsel, I would analyze this case based on autonomy and beneficence. Autonomy holds that a physician should respect the rights of the patient and present all treatment options so that the patient can make an informed decision (Brody and Colloca, 2013). In the case of Mr. and Mrs. Harrelson, the inheritance of two FGFR3 genes would lead to adverse impacts such as stillbirth while inheritance of one gene would result in dwarfism (Veatch, Haddad, and English, 2010). However, there is a chance that one child in four will not inherit the ...

It is important to notice that entrepreneurship is one of the most discussed phenomena in academic research literature. There is a great amount of studies proposing multiple theories and concepts that define entrepreneurship, yet there are still more questions than answers in this area. Designating the factors of success in this area is difficult, as each case of entrepreneurship is individual. Entrepreneurship is vital for the economy of the state. For instance, the survey conducted by Jean Yusuf among entrepreneurs determined that the entrepreneurs can alter the world by contributing to the world economy with their innovations that make ...

Introduction

A minority group is a term used to refer to a class of individuals who are distinguished from the social majority; that is, those people who hold the majority of the social power positions in a particular society. In this regard, a group is termed to be a minority due to the fact that it consists of individuals who lack privilege, power, and prestige in political, economic, or social domains, which the majority group enjoys. Kuwait has made a reaffirmation of its dedication to implementing the “United Nations Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action” in achieving gender equality, offering ...

DNA and its importance in our lives

Introduction Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a long linear polymer located in the nucleus of a cell. It is developed from nucleotides and shaped like a double helix. It is related to the transmission of hereditary information from one generation to the second generation. DNA contains the information for the development as well as reproduction of an organism, thereby leading to a normal life. In the year 1953, James Watson, a biologist, and Francis Crick, a physicist, discovered the structure of DNA in a laboratory in England (LEROY, 2003). The structure of DNA helped scientists to know the process ...

Codominant traits exist when two different alleles for a genetic trait such as flower colour, and hair texture are both expressed. The expression of codominance infers a relationship between two types of a gene. In codominance, the phenotypes of both alleles inherited from the parents are expressed ("Codominance - Glossary Entry", 2016).

Nature or nurture is an eternal debate among psychologists. It is rather complicated to define one exact side of the case as mostly one’s aggressive behavior is caused both by the genetic inheritance and environment and background the person came from. To my mind, the role of nature is evident as people get certain genetic information from the very birth and some of the reactions can be easily transmitted from parent to child. Nonetheless, the majority of the information, rules and conditions of the world, children get from parents, copying the behavior. In this regard, I assume that ...

Poverty and economic inequality are a global threat towards economic development of a given country and often result in poor living conditions among the workforce in the region. Poor people cannot afford basic commodities like proper shelter, a balanced diet and enough money to feed their children (Ehrenreich, Arlie and Henry 282). Poverty comprises of two areas that are relative and absolute poverty. Relative poverty results from having income values lower than the average country's income values. On the other hand, absolute poverty involves having an income value that cannot maintain a minimum standard of living. Economic inequality is ...

DNA, the basic unit of inheritance, has a long history which takes us thousands of years back into the past. It is highly important to have apt knowledge of DNA. In its truest sense, our knowledge of DNA begins with the results of the experiment conducted by Gregor Mendel in the year 1857. He is known by the name of “Father of Genetics”. The study of genetics was further taken ahead by Friedrich Miescher upon his discovery of a substance which he called as nuclein in the year 1869. Later on, he progressed with his experimentations and discovered another ...

Introduction

During prehistoric times, human beings recognized that specific physical characteristics of animals, plants, and people could be passed from one generation to the next. This basic knowledge of genetics was of great importance in agriculture and also in the domestication of animals such as cattle and dogs. However, significant understanding of genetics, inheritance and variation came with the work of an Austrian monk- Gregor Mendel. In 1860, Mendel studied heritable traits of pea plants. He found out that these traits were passed form the parents to the offspring. His experiments with the garden pea plants led to the discovery ...

In mitosis, the number of chromosomes before and after cell division do not change. Mitosis results in daughter cells are having a diploid number of chromosomes as the parent cells.

Question 2

Mitosis is divided into four phases: Prophase- in this phase, the chromosomal material (chromatin) condenses forming compact chromosomes which are seen as two chromatids joined together at the centromere. The mitotic spindle also starts to assemble with the help microtubules Metaphase- In this phase, the spindle fibres become attached to the kinetochores of chromosomes. Chromosomes move to the equator and are aligned along the metaphase plate via spindle fibres ...

In medieval period Europe, a woman’s role was confined and planned out by the society. It was a woman’s place to be a homemaker and tend to the homestead, be subservient and make sure her family was fed. Women were also married off at times without concession and were meant to bear babies. Gender roles were rigidly defined with little to no grey areas in between. Inheritance of a dead husband’s property also made it possible for women to manage major business enterprises. This was in the case where she did not have a matured first ...

When it comes to natural selection, it is called the regular, hypothesized procedure through which biological behaviors comparatively emerge in a populace. Natural selection appears a central device of evolution and it received notice through Charles Darwin, who focused it to be contrasted with artificial selection. It appears an exclusive keystone of contemporary biology. The introduction of natural selection was made by Darwin in his appealing text in the year 1859. The text was written on the basis of species, where an illustration of natural selection was made like similar to simulated selection. This is the procedure through which ...

Color blindness, or commonly referred to as color deficiency occurs when someone is unable to distinguish between colors in a normal way. Precisely, one can see but cannot tell the difference between primary colors, red green and blue. The eye structure is composed of cones and rods. The latter perceives the light of high intensity while the former perceives low light levels. There are three types of cones that perceive the abovementioned primary colors. When one of the cone receptors is nonfunctional, detects an inappropriate color or is nonfunctional, the brain cannot determine the correct input from the eye ...

Mongol empire derived from the various tribes fighting among each other for the piece of land and inheritance. Such adversity and controversy led to the decrease of the power of each tribe and its commander within one’s territory. Mongol empire might not have been established, if not the Genghis Khan, who was able to unite it, consolidate the power in own hands and conquer vast territories, that led to sufficient expand of the Mongol Empire throughout the centuries. Mongol Empire is a vivid example of the transformation of the tribal union under the impact of a charismatic leader. ...

Inequality

Inequality is a concept related to poverty but covers a wider scope. It does not focus on the poor alone but to the poor and all other groups in society relative to the entire population. Inequality is also about fairness. It is about how fairly a society distributes its income or wealth to its members, and how well it attends to the needs of its people and their welfare. “Equality, like fairness, is an important value in most societies Inequality can be a signal of lack of income mobility and opportunity―a reflection of persistent disadvantage for particular ...

The Kazoku was a prominent and prestigious hereditary lineage of the Japanese Empire that lasted from 1869 until it was abolished by the constitution of 1947. It was an aristocracy that ended the feudalism in Japan and paved its way for offering more privileges and honoring those members of the country who served their nation exceptionally. As the feudal lords and the nobles of the court were merged into one class and their territories were put under the trust of the country, they adopted more of a European system of classification of their people according to ranks. There were ...

Epidemiology forms the foundation of public health and nursing in its entirety. As such, understanding the demographic patterns, causes as well as effects of a disease enables the nurses to make appropriate decisions, identify the risk factors and subsequently come up with evidence-based intervention strategies to mitigate the effects of the disease.

Additionally, the paper will discuss the demographic patterns of the illness, risk factors of the illness and the evidence-based approaches that have been used to ...

Background:

- Introduction: Our position is against choosing traits, which is a violation of the principles behind biomedical ethics. Trait and gene selection is morally wrong and defies nature. With the advancement in biomedical and genetic engineering, more and more people are aware of the possibility of selecting traits for their children. On the positive side, such technology and possibilities are outstanding innovation and shows the great leaps taken by science. On the other hand, having such power has brought about a lot of discrimination towards those viewed as genetic flaws. The effects of trait selection are negative and may continue ...

Part one

A cyborg manifesto is a brilliant article authored by Donna Haraway. It is solely aimed at criticizing the traditional notions of feminism, especially through putting greater emphasis on the issue of identity rather than affinity. In this article, Haraway uses the image or metaphor of a cyborg to urge feminists to move beyond the retrogressive limitations of traditional feminism, gender and politics. The idea of Haraway’s Cyborg calls for a non-essentialized and material-semiotic metaphor that is considered capable of uniting diffuse political coalitions through the notion of affinity (Haraway, 1991, p.153). She clearly addresses the rift between a feminist discourse ...

Abstract

Chinese entrepreneurship is known to be influenced by historically traditional and cultural characteristics. The concept of Chinese businesses that the family patriarch critically manages them continues to hold true, although in the modern world as opposed to two decades ago, it has slowly changed. However, much of the management is held by a male member of the family, whether they operate a business upon their property or if they lease or rent the property. The tradition of a Chinese family-run business retains its discernible mark in worldwide business.

As motivated as they may be maintaining past practices for the sake of ...

Buddhism provides that desire plays an important role in causing suffering in the lives of individuals. Desire leads to the aspects of ...

1. The variability hypothesis had stated that males are more superior in terms of ability as compared to females, specifically in terms of intelligence. To be precise, he stated that most geniuses are mostly male. Hollingworth and Wooley had refuted the idea of variability hypothesis and had criticized the logic of the hypothesis. They stated that there was no empirical evidence which could prove that men were superior to woman n terms of ability. To examine the relevance of variability hypothesis, Hollingworth and Wooley gathered a data on the birth of 1000 male and 1000 female infants. There research proved ...

A: In the pea plant, the purple color is the dominant one while the white color is the recessive color. The F1 offspring that had purple colored flowers were 445 while those that had white colored flowers were 437. This gives a phenotypic ratio of almost 1:1. To attain this ratio, a parent with white colored flower (pp) had to be crossed with a heterogeneous purple colored parent (Pp). This can be confirmed by crossing the two patents as shown in the Punette square below.

B: The pattern observed can be explained using the first law of inheritance also called the Law ...

- Sperms are normally produced in the seminiferous tubes. After production sperms are stored in the epididymis where they get to mature. During ejaculation sperms travel from the epididymis along tubes known as the vas deferens. When sperms pass by the seminal vesicle and the prostate fluids get added to the sperms. The sperms then pass by the Cowper’s gland where even more fluids are added. The semen then reaches the urethra through which it exists the human body as semen. The fluids added to the semen are very necessary because they ensure travel of the sperms. They ...

1. What is biological psychology?

Biological psychology is the study of psychology of psychology is three different ways. The first way is the comparative method. The comparative method is when a variety of animal species are studied and compared to each other. The second way is physiology. Physiology is how the nervous system and hormones work, how changes in structure affect behavior, and how the brain functions. The third way is investigation of inheritance. Investigation of inheritance is what an animal is going to inherit from their parents.

Between 1805 and 1836, Darwin came up with his theory of natural selection while he was observing a ...

Introduction

Afrocentrism requires that we examine aspects of African culture from an African perspective. Professor Molefi Keta Asante argues that the purpose of Afrocentrism is to “encourage black nationalism and ethnic pride as a psychological weapon against destructive and depilating effects of universal racism”. By extension, Afro centrism offers an alternative view of the world that analyzes the popular western view proposed by European scholars. Although the premise of Afrocentric ideas is the argument the genesis of civilization from Egypt was a black civilization, it also proposes for the reexamination of some of the traditions and way of life of traditional ...
