Recurring Symbols In Beloved, by Toni Morrison, the three recurring symbols: colors, 124, and trees, enhances the meaning of the novel by showing the tragedies that occur for each symbol. Baby Suggs, Sethe’s mother, craves colors before she dies. The colors represent her last happiness. The numbers represent Sethe’s family and the number of children she has. The trees represents freedom and burdens on the slaves. Based on the title, the novel portrays itself as a haunted novel. After reading through

shortest side, 'b' being the middle side and 'c' being the longest side of a right angled triangle. So the (smallest number)² + (middle number)² = (largest number)² The number 3, 4 and 5 satisfy this condition 3² + 4² = 5² because 3² = 3 x 3 = 9 4² = 4 x 4 = 16 5² = 5 x 5 = 25 and so 3² + 4² = 9 + 16 = 25 = 5² The numbers 5,12, 13 and 7,24,25 also work for this theorem 5² + 12² = 13² because 5² = 5 x 5 = 25 12² = 12 x 12 = 144 13²= 13 x 13 = 169 and so 5² +
After America acquired the West, the need for efficient transportation heightened. Ideas circulated about a railroad that would spread across the continent from East to West. Republican congresses ruled for the federal funding of railroad construction, however, all actions were halted for a few years on account of a war. Following the American Civil War of 1861-1865, the race to build transcontinental railroad began in 1866. Lincoln approved Pacific Railway Act of 1862, granting two railroad companies
half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell which are called haploids. Meiosis produces our sex cells or gametes which are (eggs in females and sperm in males). Meiosis can be divided into nine stages. These are divided between the first time the cell divides (meiosis I) and the second time it divides (meiosis II): Meiosis I 1. Interphase: First, the DNA in the cell is copied resulting in two identical full sets of chromosomes.
‘’Down syndrome is a type of mental retardation caused by extra genetic material in chromosome 21’’(1). In the beginning, children with Down syndrome were referred as “mongoloids” because they looked like people from Mongolia but, the term was changed to Down’s syndrome. Down’s Syndrome named after John Langdon Down, the man who first described it (2). Down syndrome due to a genetic cause and it has more than one type and characteristics. Every cell in the human body contains genetic material
Autosomal recessive form X-linked form The X-linked form of Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy is caused by the EMD gene that codes for the ubiquitous protein called Emerin. The EMD gene is found on chromosome Xq28. The gene responsible for the X-linked form was identified in 1994. It is located on chromosome Xq28. The STA gene is 2100 bp in length, consists in six exons and encodes 762 bp mRNA. Its 34 kD protein product of 254 amino acids has been designated 'emerin'. Emerin is a protein that is part
Down Syndrome The life of a child with Down syndrome is different from the life of a child without Down syndrome. Down syndrome is “a genetic chromosome 21 disorder causing developmental and intellectual delays”. (4) If you think about it, there are many people that have Down syndrome. The complications of living with Down syndrome can range in severity to mild to extreme and may include thyroid disease which is any dysfunction of the butterfly-shaped gland at the base of the neck. Heart defects
Achondroplasia is a genetic disorder in which there is a growth hormone deficiency, or there is a genetic mutation in either the father’s sperm or mother’s egg. (mayo clinic, March 20,2014.) Achondroplasia was the first discovered in ancient Egyptian records. People with achondroplasia were considered people with supernatural powers. Many people call dwarfs midgets but to them, it is very disrespectful because midget literally means little person. Some acceptable names that you can use that will
annotated genomic sequence, extensive expressional data and functional characterisation data. This project aims at using such information to aid gene identification. The project will focus on a specific region (between AGIs 18,500,000 & 19,800,000) on Chromosome V, where a gene involved in root development has been mapped. OBJECTIVES: The project has three types of objectives they are: 1) To identify all possible genes in the region and most importantly to check whether there are genes mis- or incorrectly-annotated
Sex determination is decided by the 23rd pair of chromosomes commonly known as the sex chromosomes. Males have XY as their 23rd pair and females have XX. A female gamete, the ovum, can only receive only the X chromosome and the male gamete, the spermatozoon can receive either the X or the Y chromosome when meiosis occurs. Therefore the male sperm is responsible for the sex determination of the baby. Example: Figure 1: a Punnet square showing that there is an equal opportunity for a foetus to
syndromes, I picked one of them. This is a very rare syndrome and an estimate of 4% of children in the U.S. have it. It is known as the translocation down syndrome. Translocation down syndrome is a type of down syndrome caused by rearranged chromosome material. A child with translocation down syndrome has 3 #21 chromosomes instead of the two pairs. Here,one of the chromosomes is attached to another and the extra chromosome is what causes the health problems is what causes the health problems associated
delays in the way a child develops, both mentally and physically. Normally, at the time of conception a baby inherits genetic information from its parents in the form of 46 chromosomes: 23 from the mother and 23 from the father. In most cases of Down syndrome, a child gets an extra chromosome 21 — for a total of 47 chromosomes instead of 46. It is this extra genetic material that causes the physical features and developmental delays associated with DS (kidshealth.org). Trisomy 21 is one of the most
mutation in which a part of the chromosome or the DNA is absent or lost. It may be inherent, or it may be due to improper chromosomal crossing-over during meiosis. This deletion is responsible for the abnormalities in the patient. One of the known disorders seen due to deletion is the Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome. Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS), first described by Wolf et al[1] and Hirschhorn et al[2], results from the hemizygous deletion of the distal short arm of chromosome 4. Due to the complex and unmarked

the human anatomy is made from cells. I covered the 4 phases of mitosis, which include: Prophase,Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase. I will tell a little about each. Prophase is the first phase to mitosis. This is when the nucleolus disappears and the chromatids condense together. During the Metaphase the chromatids attach to the spindle fibers, in which they meet in the middle of the cell. The next stage is Anaphase, during this stage the chromosomes move away from
prevent a child from getting Cri du Chat, because it occurs in all races. The only group more likely to receive this disease than another is women. For every male case of CdCS, there are 1.39 female cases. This is 0.72 males to every female or about 3:4. Overall, anywhere between 1 in 20 thousand and 1 in 50 thousand people will have the deletion (C). On the brighter side, the mortality rate of this genetic disease is low, only 6-8%, and the chances of survival into adulthood being 92-94%
problem, and they follow estrogen replacement therapy to stimulate the reproductive system. The third common type is Asperger's syndrome. This syndrome is defined as a condition that causes difficulties in communication and using imagination (4). In other words, people with Asperger's syndrome find it difficult to socially interact with others and have a normal conversation. Moreover, they may not understand a person's facial expressions and body language; therefore, they feel confused and

traits that he focused on were the texture of the seed pod. E.g. smooth and round or wrinkled. In the first generation of these plants 100% of the pea plants possessed the Smooth and round texture. On the second generation of the pea plants of every 4 pea plants 3 posessed the smooth trait and a singular pea plant produced wrinkled seeds. Upon the review of his results Mendel concluded that characteristics could be expressed through dominant and recessive traits. The Dominant trait masks or completely
