A person chooses to go against the law after careful consideration of the potential benefits that they would get out of it. One will avoid breaking the law if the potential benefits are outweighed by the dangers associated.

In this professional sense, a person is paid to serve others, and can emulate a form of hospitality; however, it ...

Management and leadership

Introduction Leadership seems so common that the definition is almost vague. Leadership and management are two different traits but when they are combined they are useful for optimal performance. What makes up a leader is education and what makes up a manager is training (Bennis, 2009). The word management in the English language comes from the Latin word manus, meaning “horse training” (Darling & Nurmi, 2009). Shakespeare used this meaning in King Lear, but it also means deceit in the play As You Like It. George Washington also referred the same meaning of management in his Letters.

Explain in general terms the process of DNA replication. The replication of the DNA starts when the double helix unwinds. Each of the two strands serves as the template using which the new DNA double helix strands are formed. The different bases on each of the two strands are then matched in order to form a new set of two strands. Each of the new strands partners with the parent strand to form a double helix (Roth 26).

1. Explain in general terms the process of DNA replication. DNA replication refers to the process whereby DNA makes its own copy during the process of cell division. During this process, the DNA strands unzip themselves since helicase enzyme breaks the hydrogen bonds between the complementary strands. As this occurs, a replication fork is created. Each individual strand (leading and lagging) will be used as templates. A primer attaches itself to the leading strand and the synthesis of DNA begins, whereby DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to the synthesized strand. This is a continuous process and occurs in 5’ to ...

David Eagleman’s (2015) book entitled The Brain details scientific discoveries about the way the human brain processes information. The book details the ways in which one’s sensory capabilities and sensory processing activities formulates the way in which one interprets the external environment. It is the combination of sensory capabilities and the processing of sensory input that is largely responsible for the “reality” that one experiences (Eagleman, 2015). The external environment or what humanity would collectively call “reality” is not necessarily what truly exists. Reality may in fact be more subjective or internal than previously thought. Therefore, one ...

The rationalization of non-European people and some European population, such as the Irish served a primary purpose of differentiating individuals within a population.

Plato suggested the practice of selective mating. This is where individuals with superior characteristics would be paired, and sterilization of ...
