Andrew Fire And The Biological Sciences

In the book Forgotten Fire by Adam Bagdasarian, Vahan and his untroubled and carefree life is flipped upside down when some Gendarmes kill both of his older brother right in front of him. All of Vahan’s race are being killed and Vahan has to go off and leave his mother with his brother Sisak and start their own new life on the run. Vahan quickly realizes life if much different without everything being given to you. Vahan’s father, Sarkis, and his brother Sisak taught Vahan to push through the hard times, always have hope, and to stay strong. With the advice given to Vahan by his father and brother, Vahan was able to gain strength and courage to push through the hard times, even when everything seemed hopeless and unbearable.

In 2003, possibly one of the worst wildfires in California’s history occurred. This fire, referred to as the Cedar Fire, spread across 273,246 acres.

Humans have been genetically engineering organisms for nearly 10,000 years using traditional methods of modification—among these methods include selective breeding and crossbreeding. Though effective, these methods were unreliable and were only able to change certain traits. A lack of control over our genetic material proved to be a clear hindrance to our species; when harnessed, advancements in other fields of knowledge would be immeasurable. Once seen as an impossible task, scientists have been able to exploit genes and take control of them. CRISPR-Cas9 is a system that allows scientists to cleave off sections of DNA and artificially modify them by inserting a mutation into the place of the old DNA. This is exceptionally precise, whilst

RNA interference, or RNAi, is a biological process in which RNA molecules reduce the gene expression of an organism. This is done typically by causing the destruction of specific mRNA molecules. RNAs are direct products of genes, these small RNAs can bind to other mRNA molecules to either increase or decrease their activity like in the example of preventing an mRNA from producing a protein. There are two types of RNA molecules that are central to RNAi, these molecules are, micro RNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA).

The Frog Fire is one of more than a dozen wildfires burning across California. The Frog Fire has consumed 800 acres of land since Thursday (date). Around 8,000 firefighters are working to contain these California wildfires. The California National Guard even sent nine planes in an attempt to get rid of the flames.

     “Barn Burning” is about the struggle of a boy to do what is right during the Post Civil War era. The main character, Sartoris Snopes, is a poor son of a migrant tenant farmer. In the opening scene he is being asked by a circuit judge about the burning of a farmer’s barn by his father. The boy does not tell on his father and is not forced to do so, but he thinks that he would have done so had he been asked. The father, Abner Snopes, served in the Civil War for both sides and has difficulty venting his anger. Usually he does so through the burning of other people’s barns when they wrong him. The symbol of blood is used by Faulkner to contribute to the theme of loyalty to the

Wildfires need three things called a fire triangle they have fuel source,drywood,plants,oxygen, and a heat source. Every year wildfires burn more than 400 acres. Wildfire can damage homes or buildings and could kill people. Firefighters also fight fire by cutting dead grass.

Imagine losing your whole family in one week, now imagine half of a population being wiped out. Armenian genocide killed half the population between the years 1915 and 1917. People were taken from their homes, imprisoned, and killed. The book Forgotten Fire, written by Adam Bagdasarian, is about a 13-year-old Armenian boy who survives the genocide. Vahan embarked on a long tough journey to get to safety in Constantinople where he would be free from the Turkish government.

The concerns that Man Eating Trees by John Sokol and Hellfire by Mawish Chishty have in common with one another is the destruction of the natural world. Both works of art are represented in great detail by the enormous image of destruction of Mother Earth and how mankind is the one contributing to the destruction the greatest. Although both pieces of art represent the destruction, the work of art that defines this meaning the utmost is Man Eating Trees by John Sokol. I find Man Eating Trees more compelling than Hellfire in terms of presenting an image of destruction and nature because John Sokol found a way to show a more personal connection. This personal connection relates to people from around the world and how the destruction of trees affects them.

Vahan and his family are caught in the middle of the Armenian Genocide. In the book, Forgotten Fire, by Adam Bagdasarian, Sarkis Kendrian is a well respected Armenian mandarin of the city of Bitlis with several children and very little to worry about. That, of course, was until the beginning of the Armenian Genocide. Just after the beginning of it, multiple military personnel showed up at the front door of the home of Sarkis. They said he was wanted by the government and even though he knew that was not true he went with it. He, along with many other men from his town, were taken into the streets where they were killed. Shortly after, two of Vahan’s older brothers were taken behind the house and killed as well. This left the mother, Vahan, and his sisters and brother on their own as they were taken by the military along with many other members

There is a forest fire in chilli that has been the largest recorded wildfire in history chilli has exhausted all of its efforts to fight the blaze they have how been getting help from other country such as america and russia have been sending aid to help extinguish the flames. Even with the help of other countries less that half of the 110 fires have been extinguished. It has taken the tranquil hill sides and turned them into barren waste land about 233,000 sq miles have been affected by the blaze. Places in chile there are advisories out for the air quality in places. The increases in smoke in the air is doing damage to the atmosphere and the burning of all the land has put a scar on the earth’s biosphere. If the blaze isn't put under control

Researchers affirm that RNAi exterminated unwanted viral RNA, and RNAi-based drugs are being tested for treating certain conditions. Initially, a good part of our genes is inherited by our parents. Chromatins, a long string of DNA spooled around histones, controls the access to genes. Likewise, the histones in chromatins have “special chemical tags that act like switches to control the access of DNA” (Chapter 2, Page 31). Expressly, an embryo is able to determine which genes came from which parents, so it knows what genes should be turned on or

Pearsal can fire Huxley because he did not observe his duties owed to Pearsal. When duties are not followed a principal has a number of options to seek remedies, firing the agent being among them. The duty in this case was to not accept any check from Jameson and by taking a check from Jameson Huxley did not observe his duty.

One of the fundamental discoveries of the 20th century was that DNA was the genetic code’s physical structure (Watson & Crick, 1953) and, since then, many studies have disclosed the complicated pattern of regulation and expression of genes, which involve RNA synthesis and its subsequent translation into proteins.
