In biology, one only comes to know so much about a subject before one begins to compare it to other things. As humans, we are comparative by nature—always wondering what is the best between multiple things (if it even is) and why. That is why we do it, ultimately. We feel that we must answer the question “Why?” In this biographical paper, I will be analyzing two very different processes: DNA Replication and the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). It is that each of these individual processes carries much importance. DNA replication is important in the life of a cell, more so the division, because when a cell divides both of the daughter cells need identical DNA to function properly. PCR is important in that it allows amplification of DNA and…show more content… To understand how DNA is replicated we must first look at how DNA is built. DNA is built in an antiparallel structure, which means that one of the two strands runs from 5’ to 3’, and the other strand runs from 3’ to 5’. Now, we can look at how DNA replication begins. DNA replication begins by unwinding the two DNA strands; an enzyme called helicase accomplishes this. This enzyme uses energy from ATP to unwind the template strand, but like any other process it encounters problems that it must overcome. When DNA is unwound a phenomena called supercoiling can occur—when the DNA is unwound the DNA helix will continue to coil over in space. To overcome this an enzyme called DNA gyrase that helps in relieving the torque that is produced by the unwinding of DNA; this enzyme essentially prevents the helix from supercoiling by changing the topological state of the helix. This enzyme is known as a topoisomerase. To keep the unwound DNA strands from re-biding, a protein called single strand binding protein (SSB) temporarily binds to each template and waits for DNA primase to relieve its position on the strand. DNA primase creates a short RNA sequence on the DNA template strand so that DNA polymerase can make a copy of that DNA strand. This process is one within itself, because it can occur (and does) on either strand (3’ to 5’ or 5’ to 3’) it must lay down primer
chemistry, biology, physics, astrophysics is life. It is not some separate subject that you have to be pulled into a corner to be taught about.” as my friend Neil deGrasse Tyson states, science is life. Biology is the greatest form of life. Where-ever a person looks, biology is there. It is the glue that is holding this world together. It effects my personal life and also society. Without biology there would be no people, animals, or plants. Biology is truly a life subject.

after is anesthesiology so my college experience is going to be full of science classes mainly Biology and Chemistry. This is what I want my college experience to be like because this is the best way for me to succeed in my future career field. Since my field of study is Biology- Pre-Medicine I will want most of my classes to set me up to do very well in the fields of Biology and Pre-Medicine. This is why I do not believe that it is necessary for me to be reading the works of William Shakespeare

2. Read all of Part I: “Macronutrients and Energy”. When you are finished, answer the following questions:
a) First, find out what nutrients Janine and Mitchell are talking about. Using a biology textbook and the resources listed, describe what the following molecules are and what they are used for
will influence our future careers. My interest for human biology has driven me to choose medicine for my career. So today, I hope to leave you with an understanding of why I intend to pursue medicine, how I will prepare myself to become a successful doctor in the specialty that I choose, and why my undergraduate degree in Biology will be of great benefit to me in the future. I am not yet a doctor, but the steps I am taking now by studying Biology at UT Dallas and interacting with people in healthcare
am fascinated by the way that biology holds the secrets of our origins and existence. Biology is a field created by humans, where we study our own networks of cells joined by molecular and chemical reactions. The slightest change in a chromosome or strand of DNA may result in a radically changed organism, and as the technology available to carry out experiments and observations increases, the ability we have to improve the world directly increases. However, biology does not require advanced equipment
Earlier this year we talked a lot in class about reasons why people disapprove of the DSM-5 changes. One of the things I remember is how some people feel like the characteristics of certain disorders are overly broad and too inclusive. While thinking of sadness and clinical depression, this idea popped into my head. Normal sadness is something that everyone has. God meant for there to be different seasons in our lives where we are happy or sad. I believe that normal sadness makes you appreciate normal
There are plenty of reason that my dream career is to be an OBGYN. This career is something that I wanted to pursue as a young child. I have always loved studying the subject biology when I was in high school. That was the class I had my highest grade throughout my high school years. I will need to know this subject in order to take the next step. I also will need to know about fetal development and the different chromosomes that it takes to make a zygote. I will have to learn how to deliver a baby
