.... association with the nightshades which originally led people to believe the tomato to be poisionous. It was therefore fortunate that Miller changed the species name to esculentum which roughly means "edible". The common cultivated tomato belongs to the genus Lycopersicon. This genus exhibits a vast reservoir of genetic variability which remains largely underexploited. Some disease resistance, which is now a part of most commercially available cultivars, has been derived from related species of Lycopersicon. However, these other species may provide other potential benefits such as heat or co .....

.... is the movement of a substance from a region of high concentration, to a region of low concentration of that substance. In other words, a movement down the concentration gradient. Osmosis is very similar to diffusion, however it involves the concentration of water. Osmosis, like diffusion, is a passive process, and does not require energy to occur. Active transport does require energy though, as it involves movement up the concentration gradient. This involves protein carrier molecules binding to the substance and moving it into or out of the cell, against the concentration g .....

.... research through investigating the social and bio-genetic influence of . Testing and treatments of those with ADHD will also be discussed. In accordance with Dulcan et al. (1997) ADD, ADD-H, ADHD, although not identical, will be considered interchangeably due to similarity. Characteristics and Testing of ADHD Intelligence Even though ADHD occurs in people of every intelligence, a majority of children affected experience academic problems. These children may have specific learning disabilities, such as dyslexia, or may have multiple learning problems (Beiderman et al., 1993). In a .....

.... (Epstein 5). Overwhelming textual evidence proves that genetic engineering is not beneficial to society. Accordingly, genetic engineering is unethical and therefore should be stopped. One reason why genetic engineering should cease is because genetic engineering disrupts society’s moral values and causes society to act out in destructive ways. An online survey done by Time Magazine in 1997, found that 11% of those who were interviewed believe that if clones are created in the future, the genetically created humans will only be good for “target practice” (Epstein 2). .....

.... the universe does not evolve or change in time. There was no beginning in the past, nor will there be change in the future. This model assumes the perfect cosmological principle. This principle says that the universe is the same everywhere on the large scale, at all times.2 It maintains the same average density of matter forever. There are observational evidences found that can prove the Big Bang model is more reasonable than the Steady State model. First, the redshifts of distant galaxies. Redshift is a Doppler effect which states that if a galaxy is moving away, the spectral line .....

.... the president. Who knows the real opinions of the individuals in congress, but as long as the general public is against cloning, politicians will be too, so they can gain support from voters. Even with all these setbacks, there are still major uses for cloning research. Uses that will never present themselves unless people put down their moral, ethical, and religious shields and allow the research to take its course. Regardless of the majority opinion, cloning is just another science. It deserves the time and mind straining efforts given by today's scientists. It doesn't deserve to be .....

.... of 1998, scientists successfully cloned a calf using a new cloning technology that could make it possible to create "designer" cattle. Also, in June of 1998, there was talk about having successfully cloned a mouse swept through the scientific community(Nash 3). These are just a few of many times scientists have cloned an animal. These are the many things science has brought fourth and we need to take advantage of them. After studying both sides of the issue, I believe human cloning is a good thing to peruse for our children's sake. One of the most popular arguments in support of cloning .....

.... proteins. The main function of the mitochondrion is the oxidation of the pyruvate derived from glycolysis and related processes to produce the ATP required to perform cellular work.(Campbell 182-9) Pyruvate, or fatty acids from the breakdown of triglycerides or phospholipids, pass easily through pores in the outer mitochondrial membrane made up of a channel protein called porin. The inner membrane is a more significant barrier and specific transport proteins exist to carry pyruvate and fatty acids into the matrix. Once inside the matrix, pyruvate and fatty acids are converted to the two .....

.... what I have researched I have come to understand that currently cloning is very “Hit or Miss”(Hawley). From 277 attempts, Dolly was the only successful attempt. The point is however that we now have a man created sheep, what else could be done in the near future. There are many different goals for . Would you like to clone someone close to you who had died? In the movie “Gattaca” you get a peak at something that could be made possible by cloning, the genetic engineering of children not yet born. It could be the end of birth defects. If given the choice to be able to make a chi .....

.... antheridia and the archegonia are developed on the bottom of the prothallus. The archegonia are at the notch of the prothallus and the antheridia are located near the tip. Fertilization occurs when outside moisture is present and the sperm from the antheridia swim to the eggs of the archegonia. A zygote is formed on the prothallus and a new sporophyte grows. 4. Flowering plants have unique characteristics that help them survive. One is the flower itself that contains the reproductive structures. The color of the flower helps because it may attract birds and insects that spread the pl .....
