Trisomy

Chromosomes are marvelous things! They carry in their genes the entire genetic code required to build a human being. Comprised of nucleic acid (DNA) and proteins, twenty-three pairs of chromosomes located in the cell nucleus are needed for the normal development of a human embryo. However, sometimes things go wrong. This paper will discuss some of the consequences of faulty chromosome separation during fertilization, resulting in Trisomy. Trisomy is a chromosomal condition which occurs when three chromosomes, instead of the normal two are produced during cell division. This happens due to the failure of human chromosome pairs to separate ...

According to Palladino (2006), the Human Genome Project (HGP) was a scientific research project carried out internationally for thirteen years. This project was initiated by the U.S government with the support of other contributors such as public and private researchers with the goal of tracing and mapping nucleotides as found in the human Haploid Reference Genome. In other words the project was driven by the need and interest to collect information about the human genome. In this regard, the project was carried out in order to determine the sequence followed by chemical base pairs which are responsible for the ...

The cash based and an accrual based accounting systems are the two methods of accounting, which businesses use to record their accounting transactions. The main distinction between these two methods of accounting is essentially the time at which expenses and revenues are recognized and recorded (McCorkle, Klose, & Klinefelter, 2008). Thus, a cash based accounting system is essentially an accounting technique under which the business record expenses when it pays out cash and records the income when it receives cash. Consequently, a cash based accounting system recognizes expenditures and income at the time when the businesses pay out or receive ...
