Brinjal or eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is an important solanaceous crop of sub-tropics and tropics. The name brinjal is popular in Indian subcontinents and is derived from Arabic and Sanskrit whereas the name eggplant has been derived from the shape of the fruit of some varieties, which are white and resemble in shape to chicken eggs. It is also called aubergine (French word) in Europe. India is native of Brinjal (Thompson and Kelly, 1957). The brinjal is of much importance in the warm areas
For example, it has been noted that genetics can possibly be influenced by its environment. According to Dr. Hager, a lecturer at the University of Manchester, “mothers could pass on information to their offspring about the environment in which they will be growing up, such as availability
is important for her efforts to introduce genetics instruction into medical education.3 In 1932 she corresponded with several deans of medical schools in Canada, the United States, and Britain, inquiring about the amount of instruction they were providing on heredity and disease. She presented her findings at the Third International Eugenics Congress held in New York during August 1932 as part of a proposal that a standardized course in medical genetics be established during the last year of medical
evolutionary trait developed to protect people from malaria, and people with the disease cannot contract malaria. It is more common in places like Sub-Saharan Africa, Saudi Arabia, India, South America and the Caribbean, where malaria is also common. This genetic condition is present in babies since birth, but usually begins to manifest itself in infants five months of age or older. Regularly, red blood cells are round and smooth to carry oxygen effectively. In people with SCD the red blood cells are shaped
Genetically Modified Soy in Paraguay Genetically modified organisms, or GMOs were introduced into the agricultural market in the 1990’s. Since then, GMO crops have been planted on 174 million hectares of land or, almost half a billion acres of land globally (Fig. 1). GMOs are created through the alteration of genes in a living organism to produce a new genotype. Most food modifications have been primarily focused on cash crops in high demand from farmers such as soybean, corn, canola, and cottonseed
The research that will be conducted will answer the question: How does the evolution of the THC Synthase gene affects the physical and chemical traits, of the Cannabis genus? Supporting questions surrounding our main research question include: Is there conservation within the paralogs of THC Synthase? Do these paralogs produce functional proteins? Are certain paralogs unique to certain strains? We will be researching duplicated genes of THC Synthase that recently became prevalent due to new sequencing
Biological Causes of Depression In addition to environmental causes of depression, biological factors also play a part in the triggering of depression. Scientists have been making great progress in understanding the brain, as well as the hormones and neurotransmitters, and how they relate to the cause of depression. The limbic system is what controls emotion, physical and sexual drives, and how people react to stress (All about Depression: Biological Causes). The hypothalamus controls “body temperature
growth compared to our original streptomycin plate. Cells that previously have some streptomycin resistance from the start, survived and will spontaneously produce a new resistance trait or will strengthen an existing one during cell division through genetic mutation. Our original control plate has more growth than our selected control plate. Our original control plate has both susceptible bacteria cells and resistant cells but with the selected control plate, there is only growth of resistant strains
The age-old question of nature verses nurture asks us what is most important: The environment that one is raised in, or the genes that make a person different from the rest. Malcolm Gladwell attempts to answer this question within “The Power of Context,” showing just how similar yet diverse the two can be. Nature can change a person. The environment they live in can change their perception on the way that society is presented. However, nurture can also change a person. The genes a person has, or
