Table of Contents Introduction Main body Summary References Introduction Mutations are alterations in the DNA sequence that are a significant source of variation across species. These alterations occur at various levels and can have substantially disparate implications (Stenson et al., 2017). In living organisms susceptible to multiplication, people must first determine if they are genetically…

Table of Contents Summary Scientific Evidence (evidence used) Questions about Research Conclusion Works Cited Summary The online proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences released research findings from Uppsala University that people in East Asia share genetic material with Denisovans. The significance of these findings is related to the fact that certain species of “archaic…

The history of evolution came through various theories and concepts trying to solve the question of organisms’ development and reproduction. The scientific debates peaked during the late 18th century when researchers formed the most controversial views. Later, embryologists Baer, Owen, and Carpenter gradually solved the situation by developing new approaches to understanding the nature of…

The epigenetics of high fructose corn syrup at a molecular level may be explained under several principles, but two of many principles seem to be the major ones. The energy intake and its expenditure regulations are the key determinants of the epigenetics of high fructose in the body. This single most principle of energy intake…

Theodosius Dobzhansky was a famous geneticist and evolutionary biologist who made a significant contribution to modern synthesis. The latter is defined as the combination of ideas of genetics and evolution1. Dobzhansky’s life, career, and scientific views are described in detail in the book The Evolution of Theodosius Dobzhansky: Essays on His Life and Thought in…

The current understanding of the way traits are inherited from generation to generation is based on the principles put forward by a 19th-century biologist, geneticist, and mathematician Gregor Mendel. These principles were discovered by Mendel upon studying the pea plant and it took him eight years of experimentation and persistence to continue with it1. Mendel’s…
