Hemophilia
... for the lack, and hence will show the defect. In females, however, only one of the two chromosomes will be abnormal. (unless she is unlucky enough to inherit haemophilia from both sides of the family, which is rare.)2 The other chromosome is likely to be normal and she can therefore compensate for this defect. There are two types of haemophilia, haemophilia A and B. Haemophilia A is a hereditary disorder in which bleeding is due to deficiency of the coagulation factor VIII (VIII:C)3. In most of the
cases, this coagulant protein is reduced but in a rare amount of
cases, this protein is present by immunoassay but ...

Effects Of Smoking 2
... may not sound too harmful as they are cosmetic in nature and are only on the outside but these can inhibit one in subtle ways. There are many people who do not like smoker be it because of the smell the smoke or because of the stereotype that smokers are "bad". But these outside effects are instantly noticeable and people can react badly to you and thus make immediate bad impressions on people that you need to make a good impression on. Be it with a teacher, someone who is interviewing you for a job, or simply someone you are trying to get romanticly involved with.
Then there are the more harmful and insidious side ...

Fossil Fuels And Alternative Energy Sources
... Yet, they never give a second thought to the source of the energy that their daily lives depends on. Over eighty-five percent of the energy that powers the planet is derived from the burning of fossil fuels (Information 16). Fossil fuels contain impurities and these “impurities such as sulfur also burn and produce potentially dangerous oxides” which are released into the air (Burning www 1). Releasing these oxides into the air has many consequences including smog, which is the most noticeable of these problems. The hazy smog that hangs over us in the summer is actually ground level ozone; the ...

The Wolverine
... northern
North America. Their distribution once extended as far south as Colorado,
Indiana, Pennsylvania, and perhaps Michigan.
It looks like a weasel maybe because it is in the weasel family.It has
black and brown fur and long claws.It’s legs are short but strong. The Wolverine
is usually solitary except for members of the opposite sex and a female's young.
After the females give birth they hide with their young. The mother defends her
territory and intruders are not tolerated. This territorial behavior continues
until the young are ready to hunt on their own.
The Wolverine has a diet that can include anyt ...

Acid Rain
... it with
toxic substances that are slowly released from the soil (EPA). When the trees weaken from the
acid, it has a harder time fighting off adversaries such as fungi, diseases, and frost so
subsequently it dies. Around the 1970s the acid rain dilemma got worse, the acid rain has put
trees in danger and now they are starting to die off. The effects of acid rain on a tree is shown if
it has less foliage, yellow spots and produces many cones (Baines, 22). Secondly, acid rain
damages the trees through the soil by releasing metals that harm them even further (Lucas, 72).
Acid rain makes the t ...

Endocrine Disruption
... are the pituitary, thyroid, thymus, parathyroid, and adrenal. The organs, which also play a vital part, are the pancreas, gonads, kidneys, heart, and parts of the digestive tract. All these different glands or organs work together in the production of certain hormones. Those produced in one location will almost always have an effect on many other areas of the body, not just the surrounding tissues.
An analogy that fits very well with the study of the endocrine system is that of a message in a bottle. We can think of the body as a river, and a specific hormone may be a bottle containing a message. The o ...

MPD
... where one of the personalities is violent. The person usually has names for each of the personalities.
There have been many movies made about Multiple Personality Disorder. The movie “Primal Fear” caught my interest. This movie really made me chance the way I feel about this particular disorder. “Primal Fear” was about a younger boy that had been physically abused and killed the person who had done this to him. He had to go to court and get tried for the murder. Through the whole movie he had two personalities, one was a sweet, innocent, quite boy and the other was the man that had killed this other ma ...

The Ozone Layer
... The termed greenhouse effect implies that a comparable effect keeps
the interior of the green house warm. Actually, the man role of the glass in a
green house is to prevent convection currents from mixing cooler air outside
with the warmer air inside.
Although water is the most important factor in the greenhouse effect, is
a major reason why human regions experience less cooling at night than do dry
regions. Changes in both water and carbon dioxide play an important role in
climate changes. For this reason many scientist have expressed concerns over
the global increase of carbon dioxide in resent decad ...

Animal Testing
... in any way at all. An example of this is some tens of thousands of Beagles experimented with. In Albuquerque, New Mexico, 64 Beagles were forced to inhale radioactive Strontium 90 as part of a “Fission Product Inhalation Program” which has been paid for by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. In this experiment 26 dogs died. One of the deaths occurred during an epileptic seizure; another from brain hemorrhage. Other dogs, before death, became feverish and anemic, lost their appetites, and had hemorrhages. The experimenters compared their results to those experiments conducted at the University of Utah and the ...

Gene Therapy
... and Ken Culver performed the first successful on a human in 1990. They developed a protocol for treating Adenosine deaminase (ADA) deficiency, a severe combined immune deficiency, also known as the "Boy in the Bubble disease." ADA deficiency is a result of inheriting two copies of the defective ADA gene. Possession of a normal gene leads to the continuous, regular production of ADA in cells throughout the body. Without at least one properly functioning gene, children have no way of converting deoxyadenosine (a waste product) into inosine. This leads to the rapid build-up of deoxyadenosine in the system, which becom ...
