Can you help put me on the right track with these? Many biological reactions proceed at far too slow a rate to make them metabolically effective. Is it the presence of enzymes that lowers the activation energy so that these reactions can take place? If not, then what? ATP is considered a short-term form of energy for a ...continues
I am reading that sickle-cell anemia is a disease that is genetically prevalent in populations of African and middle eastern decent. How is it that a parent can have the disease and not the offspring and vice versa? Can you provide simple to understand websites for me to continue research on this topic?
Please describe the process of DNA fingerprinting and explain how DNA fingerprinting can differentiate between possible suspects in a crime.
What is the sequence of events that takes place to go from gene to protein. I know there is a set of nucleic acids involved in this process. Identify these nucleic acids and explain their function in the process.
There are a number of natural types of DNA. One is animal DNA, one plant DNA, another bacterial DNA. There are two types of DNA (one in plants and one in animal cells) that are part of cells but are not the main blueprint (not found in the nucleus) for the cell. What are these two types of DNA?
This multiple choice question implies that one of these answers is not a correct response. As I research each of these, they all seem to be a part of genetic variability. Which is the right answer and why? What am I missing? Evolution requires variability to occur in an organism's genetic make up. Which is NOT a source of v ...continues
What are your thoughts on the impact that biotechnology might have on human evolution? How do you think the human race's expansion into space might affect our evolution?
Impact of Humans on Evolution of Plants
As humans, how have we negatively affected the natural evolution of the plants we eat and use for decoration?
So we are 98% genetically the same as apes. How do we know this, how is this possible, and what theories/laws does this support?
In many countries, conservationists are trying to design national park systems so that "islands" of natural area (the big parks) are connected by thin "corridors" of undisturbed habitat. The idea is that this arrangement will allow animals and plants to migrate between refuges. Why would such migration be important?
