Assignment 1: Biology Article Cinthya Jacobo Professor: Dr. Francie Coblentz Introduction to Biology: SCI115 11/08/2015 The article “Therapeutic Cloning, and stem cell Research” by Gena Smith is about how we can extract stem cells from replicated human embryos and use them for medical and therapeutic purposes. The stems cells are perfect because they are what the article calls “master cells” which with the help of science, can be manipulated to become anything from brain cells to kidney cells

Branches of Biology Biology, the study of life, has many aspects to it and many specializations within this broad field. Below is an alphabetical list of many of the branches of biology. Agriculture - study of producing crops from the land, with an emphasis on practical applications Anatomy - the study of the animal form, with an emphasis on human bodies Biochemistry - the study of the chemical reactions required for life to exist and function, usually a focus on the cellular level Bioengineering

living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy.[1] Modern biology is a vast and eclectic field, composed of manybranches and subdisciplines. However, despite the broad scope of biology, there are certain general and unifying concepts within it that govern all study and research, consolidating it into single, coherent fields. In general, biology recognizes the cell as the basic unit of life, genes as the basic unit of heredity, and evolution as the engine

CheckPoint: Theories of Biology Charles Darwin first came up with the theory of Evolution by Natural Selection. Darwin’s theorized that there was a scientific explanation for why there are so many different types of creatures and animals. The main part of the theory of Evolution by natural selection is that all animals change over time. Darwin’s theory was that over the generations all species will slowly evolve, or change, to better be suited for their environment. Over time the said species

Biology and Credit Crunch Biology is the science of organic life and the natural world. Even though it might seem at first that biology and finance might be poles apart and have nothing in common with each other, it is t is something that is fast helping economists in building various new models to understand how the financial sector works. It has also been noted that many scholars believe that a better understanding of biology in terms of our ecology could have worked to warn us of the impending

genes. Apart from the main science subjects (biology chemistry and math) I have also taken economics at AS level as I have always been fascinated by what funds a country and how money keeps the world running. I also realized the importance of money when it comes to scientific research and how it can influence some findings. I also look forward to apply the statistical formulas I learned in math (S1 and S2) in the course. My interest in biology was also consolidated by reading the books such
