Introns And Exons
Number of words: 653 - Number of pages: 3

.... As the two ends are placed the mRNA becomes pre-mRNA. The pre-mRNA consists of splicing and non-coding regions. pre-mRNA molecules are much longer than the mRNA molecule needed to code for its protein. The regions that do not code for amino acids; aa, are scattered all along the coding region. The genes are split with coding regions, called exons, short for expressed regions; in between the exons the non-coding region called introns exist. Before the translation of mRNA the introns must be spliced off. Splicing is an complicated process for the cell. It must locate every intron in the .....

Chromosome Probes At The Unive
Number of words: 2253 - Number of pages: 9

.... those who have a family history of chromosomal abnormalities. Prenatal tests using Willard's probes would be much simpler and faster to perform and could be available to all pregnant women who wish to take advantage of the technology. Current prenatal testing involves growing fetal cells in vitro and examining them, over one or two months, to see if there are two copies of a particular chromosome, which is normal, or one or three, which is abnormal. A test using Willard's probes would require only a few cells and a few days to detect abnormalities. "I don't think it's beyond the realm o .....

.... the industrial revolution, concentrations of carbon dioxide have increased by 30%, concentrations of methane have doubled, and nitrous oxide has risen by 15%. The increases of these chemicals have enhanced the heat trapping capability of the atmosphere of the earth. Sulfate aerosols, cool the atmosphere because they reflect light back into space, but sulfates do not live long in the atmosphere. Scientists still do not know what exactly is heating up the earth. Some say the earth is going through a natural cycle because the earth has gone through cold periods as well as hot periods. Mo .....

Nuclear Power
Number of words: 533 - Number of pages: 2

.... concept of nuclear power. First of all he shoots down the government for giving money to nuclear industries and claims that doing this is "totally inappropriate for government." I don't know if Dr. Gofman understands that we are kind of running out of energy sources, and until we better develop things like solar power to make them more useful and economical, we may need energy sources like nuclear power in the very near future. Next he tries to convince the public that the nuclear supporters and groups like BEIR (Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiation) lied about their findings of the numb .....

Archeology Glorified Grave Robing
Number of words: 245 - Number of pages: 1

.... can be helpful in painting a picture of what the lives of past civilizations were like, the act of digging up such artifacts can be considered immoral. A person claiming to be conducting an archeological study in a present-day cemetery would most definitely be apprehended and punished for his actions. Cemeteries are considered sacred places, and those who violate the laws made to protect them will be punished for their actions. There is no difference between the aforementioned act and that of unearthing sacred Native American burial grounds, for example. Great care was taken to ens .....

Atoms
Number of words: 520 - Number of pages: 2

.... to find out the structure of an atom. In 1897, Joseph John Thomson discovered electrons. Using a tube, magnets and charged plates, he sent ray particles through various experiments changing the position of the charged plates. By changing the plates, he discovered he could also change the point at which the particles would hit a florescent screen at the end of the tube. He decided that the ray was made up of particles with a negative charge. He named these particles electrons. This discovery also showed that atoms had a substructure. Thomson made a model showing his idea for the atom. .....

Basking Shark
Number of words: 1926 - Number of pages: 8

.... been known as the elephant shark, the Bone shark, sailfish shark, and sunfish. The reason this shark is occasionally referred to as the Bone shark, is because when they die, they sink (their density is greater then the water's density) and are ravaged among the sea floor, by rocks, etc. (Steel, 1985, 132). However, when they do finally wash up on shore they are usually quite mutilated; their skeletons are all that remain. Hence the name, Bone shark. Although the Basking shark most appropriately resembles the Whale shark, its closest relative happens to be t .....

Fire 2
Number of words: 3704 - Number of pages: 14

.... because of the direct impact it makes on organisms. Unlike these physical factors, however, fire as a disturbing force is itself influenced by the biota, particularly the plant community. Alteration of the vegetation by any number of factors can influence the nature of a subsequent fire. Fire has similarities to grazing as a force on vegetation because of such feedback effects (Whelan, 1995, 20). Fire History When cavemen learned to make and use fire, they could start to live in civilized ways. With fire, they were able to cook their food so that it was easier to eat and tasted bet .....
