Biology and Culture of Gender Color Stereotypes
Biology and Culture of Gender Color Stereotypes It seems inadequate to assign a particular gender a stereotypical color in a developed modern society. Nevertheless, historically embedded patterns are quite difficult to eradicate, so carriers still spread them. One such stereotype is the assignment of blue to boys and pink to girls. This is a somewhat…

Is PCR the Most Important Invention in Molecular Biology to Date?
Is PCR the Most Important Invention in Molecular Biology to Date? Fridell (2005, p.8) defines Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) as a scientific technique that is applied in molecular biology to amplify a single or specified number of DeoxyRiboNucleic acids. In addition, Park (2004, p.587) claims the PCR technique is used to produce a large number…

Human Biology: Genes and Genes Mutations
Human Biology: Genes and Genes Mutations In reality, the human body is an extraordinarily complex and multistage system characterized by genetic malfunctions. Mutations in certain regions of DNA can cause pathological metabolic abnormalities or hereditary features realized through dysfunctional disorders. One such condition is sickle cell anemia, which has a genetic basis. Typically, the human…
