Biology

After I get accepted into UC Riverside, I will spend my time in school taking courses related to a biology major. For example, I will take 1 year of General Biology, 1 year of General Chemistry, 1 year of Physics, 1 semester of Calculus, 1 year of English (101 and another English A course), 1 semester of Biochemistry, 1 semester of Microbiology, and 1 semester of Human Anatomy and Physiology. In order to pass all my classes, I will go to every single lecture, study with flashcards, and create study

wondering what every day functions go on inside our bodies and how complex plants really are compared to the vague primary school teachings we had at an early age. During my biology classes I have been able to do independent research work and improve my practical skills in this area, which will benefit me during a biology course. Through my part time job at ASDA, along with mentoring a GCSE maths class, I have gained strong communication skills. I work ten hours a week at my job, and particularly

animals at the same time. So now, as a sophomore in high school, I’m pretty confident to say that my STEM area of interest is Biology, because I want to become a marine biologist, to incorporate both of my desires. I think this path would be best for me because of how much I already incorporate biology in my everyday life in school and in my own time. Due to my interest in biology, I began partnering with Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest in 2015 to research biodiversity in the neighboring Wilson

Ecology and biology: An overview Ecology has been defined as "the branch of biological sciences dealing with the interactions between living beings and their environment," versus the study of the morphology or behavior of species in isolation (Nahle 1997). Another definition of ecology is that it is "the scientific study of interactions of organisms with one another and with the physical and chemical environment" (What is ecology, 2012, Science Education). Ecology has become associated with the

I am writing this statement in hopes of studying in the Life Sciences programme offered by your school. Biology has long been my favorite subject, and I have been long for the Life Science by The Chinese University of Hong Kong when I am still studying in secondary school as the programme is strongly related to biology and do have a major in Food and Nutritional Sciences which I have a strong interest. If I was given the chance to enter CUHK, I would treasure every learning opportunities and make

academic preparation in Biology and Math in 1000 characters or less. In addition to courses, you should describe relevant professional or extra-curricular experiences. While at OSU, I have completed Pre-calculus and am currently enrolled in Calculus. I am also currently taking an EEOB course, Bio-Invasions. This course views ecological and evolutionary concepts through the lens of non-native introduced species. Last year, I also completed the AP Statistics and the AP Biology courses at my high school

Curiosity has always been my driving force. My interest in Natural Sciences initially arose trying to understand nutrition and how different types of molecules are used to fuel our body. My interest shifted to Synthetic Biology when I found the Wyss Institute at Harvard. The way they are using nature as inspiration to develop new tools for making a better society inspires me. Three books have helped me to reinforce my commitment to studying Biotechnology. The Outer Reaches of Life by John Postgate

be the leading cause of death among the cancer groups. I decided from then on that I wanted to do something to make a difference in people’s lives and try to prevent people from experiencing what my grandfather had to endure. When learning about Biology in high school I really enjoyed the subject and

necessitate the color patterns that can be switched on or off prevalently to enhance or repress the color/pattern expressed by butterflies. This gene activity is completely chemically driven. This process is referred to as evolutionary developmental biology…’Evo Devo’ for short. This discovery explains evolution. Today’s studies of the Monarchs reveal significant findings through the use of bioinformatics, and where it will take us in our

Laboratory Exercise #8 DNA Fingerprinting: Identification of DNA Restriction Fragmentation Patterns I. Introduction All humans have in common the coding sequences of their DNA, but, unless you are an identical twin, the non-coding sequences of your DNA are like no other person’s on the planet. The bulk of human DNA does not code for specific genes and is highly repetitive. A British geneticist, Alec Jefferies, developed laboratory techniques in 1984 that became known as DNA fingerprinting
