Millions of people die each year from degenerative and untreatable diseases. While millions more await the possibility of an organ transplant. As the supply verses demand does not meet clinical demand increases each decade. Stem cell research has been deemed the key to bridge that…
When viewing climate change, there are many influences driving the changes happening to our planet and connection between humans and climate change. As of today, atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases are greater than ever, and a majority of the reasons point to humans. Cultural Consumption…
Climate change has been a topic of discussion for quite a long time now. We can see it being mentioned everywhere, from television news to radio to newspapers. Even though there exists a group that believes climate change is something natural and not a happening…
Recently I have been curious about stem cells, and gain more knowledge of how they work. Asking what are they? Where do they come from? And what do I know about them? Knowing these amazing stem cells live inside our bodies. Sighted it as an…
The process of mono- and di- hybrid crosses is a main example of how each species can express their phenotypic characteristics. For these evaluations to be accurately tested for, the model organism that is used is Drosophila melanogaster. This model organism has a quick lifecycle…
Fertilisers are the chemical products that human created with the help of ammonia so the plants can grow faster and be bigger. There are different types of fertilisers, the Complete inorganic fertilisers, and the Special purpose fertiliser. The complete inorganic fertilisers contain all three major…
In today’s world, there are many technologies that gives us the opportunity to explore various aspects of our world. Factors such as viewing textbooks online or even submitting your assignments but more importantly giving us the ‘internet’, which allows us to make our daily day…
Since the structure of DNA was determined in the 1950s, scientists have continued to make great advancements in establishing how the “building blocks of life” are intertwined. In 2003, the Human Genome Project was completed. At the time, the cost for the first individual to…
In this study a genome wide (GW) trans ethnic meta-analysis was conducted of predominately regular type coffee consumption on 91,462 coffee consumers of European ancestry with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and followed up in 13 studies of European coffee consumers and 7 studies of African…
All living organisms on earth are made of cells, and there are two types of cell in the world. They are prokaryotic cells[fig.1] and eukaryotic cells[fig.2] ‘Prokaryotes were the only form of life on earth for millions of years until more complicated eukaryotic cells came…
The control of movement within cells and organisms is a vital aspect for survival amongst beings. Without the control of these movements crucial processes such as photosynthesis and DNA replication would not be able to occur thus disabling organisms to survive and breed. Over time…
For organisms to be able to adapt in this ever-changing world, one must evolve. Evolution, however, is not as simple as it seems, it is a battle between species, species battle it out and the species more willing to change wins, and it looks like…
The nineteenth century author, Charles Dickens wrote of Tuberculosis that it is, “a disease which medicine never cured, wealth warded off, or poverty could boast exemption from – which sometimes moves in giant strides, and sometimes at a tardy sluggish pace, but, slow or quick,…
Zika virus (ZIKV) is currently taxonomic classified according to the ICTV Online (10th) Report and the last change into Zika virus taxon has occurred in 2018. ZIKV moved to the new higher-level taxa (realm) and has been classified as a member of the realm of Riboviria….
