.... lethal and disabling diseases although it also has a potential for disease prevention. is in its formative stages, being investigated in basic research laboratories. A number of early human clinical trials have been initiated to test important concepts that have emerged in these laboratory studies. The reasoning for lies in our understanding of the genetic basis of human disease. It is probably safe to say that genes we inherit from our parents influence virtually every human disease. A composite of approximately 150,000 individual genes constitutes a human being. Several years ago, an international effort was launched to identify ev .....

.... just a dull stack of dirt. But if observed closely, one may come to see that these stacks house more than just black material, they are full of life forms. Some of these include giant clams, giant worms, and all sorts of different organisms. Up until recently, smokers have only been observed by videotape and "deep-diving submersibles". Last summer a team from the University of Washington and the American Museum of Natural History accomplished the task of bringing four "" to the surface. The method that the team used for retrieval was quite interesting. The team followed a "loggers technique" for detaching the smoker from the Earth†.....

.... what fusion is, how it affects the life of a star, and what happens to a star when fusion can no longer occur. The first question one must ask is, "What is fusion?" One simple way of explaining it is taking two balls of clay and mashing them into one, creating a new, larger particle from the two. Now replace those balls of clay with sub-atomic particles, and when they meld, release an enormous amount of energy. This is fusion. There is currently three known variations of fusion: the proton-proton reaction (Figure 1.1), the carbon cycle (Figure 1.2), and the triple-alpha process (Figure 1.3). In the proton-proton reaction, a proton ( .....

.... These polyps are developed at a very young age, Some people have been known to be as young as 13years of age. Most colon polyps are benign but some become cancerous. Most FAP patients develop cancer by the age of 39. Another form of hereditary cancer is Hereditary Non-Polyposis (HNPCC). HNPCC accounts for five to ten percent of all cases. HNPCC develops also at a young age but not as young as FAP patients. The actual cancer appears in the persons 40's. HNPCC is known as a "fast growing" form of cancer. Along with colon cancer HNPCC patients are also at a much higher risk for other forms of cancer. Page 2 The causative factors of .....

.... be transmitted into the TV (cable, antenna, or satellite). The more bits a TV can transmit, the better the picture or screen resolution. The digital TV signal can carry as many as 19.4 megabits of data, which means a broadcaster can mix multiple programs of varying bit sizes onto a single channel. Say you’re watching a football game, since one camera view only uses up so many bits, you can select a different camera angle while watching the same game on the same channel. It is possible for a network, like NBC, to show two different programs at the same time on the same channel. Conceivably, if the president in on, you can watch regular .....

.... described this condition in 1942, it was not until 1956 that other researchers reported that many boys with this description had 47 chromosomes in each cell of their bodies instead of the usual number of 46. This extra sex (X) chromosome causes the distinctive make-up of these boys. All men have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, but sometimes a variation will result in a male with an extra X. This is Klinefelter Syndrome and is often written as 47,XXY. There are other, less common variations such as 48,XXYY; 48,XXXY; 49,XXXXY; and XY/XXY mosaic. All of these are considered Klinefelter Syndrome variants. The major effect of th .....

.... are good for recycling because they feed on dying material and convert it back into basic substances.Without decomposition the food chain would cease.Bacteria also helps in the breakdown on rocks which influences the movement of key elements,such as,sulfur,iron,phosphorus,and carbon,around the world.Bacteria are the main digesters of cellulose within cows and other animals.Bacteria are used in the making of dairy products.Without bacteria the dairy industry would not exist.Bacteria are also helpful in sewage treatment.These certain bacterias convert the organic materials of sewage into carbon dioxide,methane,and hydrogen gases. .....

.... water meets legal purity requirements. The medical examiner is the most important individual in an investigation of a crime involving a victim. It is the responsibility of the medical examiner to visit the crime scene, conduct an autopsy (examination of the body) in cases of death, examine the medical evidence and lab reports, study the victims history, and put all the information together in a report to be turned in to the district attorney. Medical examiners are usually physicians specializing in forensic pathology, the study of structural and functional changes in the body as a result of injury. Their training and qualific .....

.... combined to form proteins. In this way, the ocean became an "organic soup". Eventually, the proteins in this "organic soup" joined, a membrane grew around the proteins, and the first complete cell was formed (Dawkins 16). According to evolution, this process was the beginning of life. But, there are minimal chances that this organic soup would form. Consider the experiment of Stanley Miller. In 1953, Stanley Miller passed an electric spark through an atmosphere of hydrogen, methane, ammonia, and water vapor; an atmosphere similar to the so-called "primitive atmosphere." But, this produced only 4 out of the 20 amino acids essential to form .....
