Biology

“Research In Biological Sciences” appeals to my passion in biology. My interest in biology was heightened in the summer of 2014, when I attended Rice University’s Duke TIP Summer Studies Program in “Modern Medicine.” There, I learned about various types of viruses and pathogens that have attacked the human race over the past 2000 years, such as smallpox and measles. Every new topic we learned fascinated and intrigued me. After the camp ended, I was hooked into studying the evolution of bacteria and

My goal is to harness my passion for biology to obtain a Ph.D., allowing me to conduct research on the underpinnings of human diseases. As a freshman, I shadowed in research labs in various areas of biology, and these experiences first ignited my passion for biological research. In my sophomore year of college, I joined a molecular biology lab that is interested in the mechanisms that coordinate two key steps in gene expression: splicing and transcription, as mutations in the proteins involved in

Introduction The final project of the Spring 2018 Foundations of Biology lab focuses on investigating variation in a population. As a class we study population variation to better understand evolution and the mechanics behind it. What is the basis of evolution? The basis of evolution is the differences in the alleles carried by the members of the population in their genome. The differentiation in allele frequency accounts for a majority of the observable hertable differences in a population. Specifically

During the first semester of biology, we were assigned a biome project. Where our objective as a group of 4, was to educate our class on the biome that we had pre-selected; my group and I chose the biome of coral reefs. For instance, we had to describe our biome in detail, problems that are currently threatening coral reefs, the abiotic/biotic factors, and add on a reference page. Additionally to this, my group and I, constructed an educational video based on all of the evidence, facts, and statistics

Biology is the study of living organisms and their behaviors, anatomy, and physiology. In addition, living organisms are characterized by their cellular structure, and their ability to grow, reproduce, evolve, metabolize, and maintain homeostasis. Each part of what makes an organism itself is intimately connected to each of its other features. Throughout my study of biology this semester, I learned about these relationships and decided they could be best represented through a concept map. To optimize

of yet is a marine biologist. With marine biology there is a lot of different things that this course will help me with. Like figuring out the word parts of the scientific names of different aquatic organisms or even just reading the names of the species. Also with being a marine biologist you'd have to write papers and reports to be able to show what you've discovered and what you know about them. Something else i'd like to along with marine biology is own my own facility where I can erase all

Biology What is Biology? Biology is the scientific study of living things and their vital processes. There are more than 10 million species of living things on Earth. They range from microscopic bacteria to huge blue what and towering redwood trees. Living things vary from where and how they live. Types of Biology Biology is a broad subject and that is why it is subdivided into separate branches for convenience of study. The four main subdivided branches are:  Botany-the study of plants

my life are learning and challenge. Unanswered questions are abundant across the Biological field and need answering. Specifically, biology appeals to my need to help others and make a difference. Studying Biology will empower me to link these motivations and apply biological knowledge, providing me with the ideal career. Geography, R.S and German alongside Biology at A level has provided me with an interdisciplinary knowledge that has allowed me to have a unique approach and understanding of certain

In order to fully understand my interest in participating in the Adventures in Biology program, you will first need to understand a little about me. In five words, I am a very curious, kind, and daring risk-taker. Ever since I was a young child, I have always had a passion for science and math, which are subjects can be conveniently interconnected, because I know that there is always one answer, the truth, and that is exactly what I seek to obtain. I especially like the feelings of joy and pride

Evolutionary biology has always interested me, specifically the mechanisms of natural selection and how species adapt to their environment. It started with my love for animals and nature when I was little. I spent my summers working with horses at a local corral, where I would ride around the surrounding wilderness areas. My favorite part about riding in the mountains was watching the change in plant and animal species as the elevation changed. It never ceased to amaze me how the alpine tree
