.... the cellular level. It is written in units called codons, each of which specifies a particular amino acid. (Proteins are composed of amino acids.) A codon consists of a sequence of three bases--for example, GAG or TCA. The four bases can be assembled into 64 possible codons. Because proteins are built from only 20 amino acids, most amino acids are specified by more than one codon. occur when one base is substituted for another or when one or more bases are inserted or deleted from a gene. Substitution affect only one codon, and in most cases the effect is mi .....

.... epinephrine and norepinephrine are generally similar, although they differ from each other in their effects. Norepinephrine constricts almost all blood vessels. Norepinephrine is formed by intravenous infusion to combat the fall in blood pressure associated with types of shock. Norepinephrine is formed in the body from the amino acid tyrosine, and epinephrine is formed from norepinephrine. Mineralocorticoids steroids control the overall body fluid. Mineralocorticoids are critical to regulate concentrations of minerals in extracellular fluids. The major target .....

.... system, a complete digestive tract, along with excretory and nervous system, they are classified under the Mollusca phylum. It then goes under the classification of Cephalopod along with squids and chambered nautilus. From there it is ordered as Octopoda, (Family) Octopodidae, (Genus) Octopus. Then its species differ to differentiate one octopus from another. A common octopus's species is labeled as vulgaris. A common octopus's scientific name: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Mollusca Classification: Cephalopoda Order: Octopoda Family: Octopodidae Genus: Oct .....

.... and weather has little, if anything, to do with the disease other than a psychological impact on the course of the disease. And, arthritis is a disease for which something can be done. Types As I have already stated, there are more than 115 different types of arthritis. I will include the six most common forms in this report. Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis in Canada. This type is also referred to as "degenerative joint disease", because it is a consequence of the wearing out of the cartilage that covers the e .....

.... of cannabis spread from China and the Middle East to the population of Europe and America. Since that time cannabis became illegal and very popular drug known in all countries. In some way the affects of the marijuana may be serious. When smoked, the effects of cannabis begin immediately. When eaten the effects can take 1 to 2 hours to begin, depending on how much food is in the stomach. The effect after smoking cannabis may last for 1-2 hours and when eaten, the effects may sometimes last longer than 4 hours. One of the primary effects of smoking cannabis .....

.... learned of DDT's effect on wildlife, it was almost too late. The American peregrine's scientific name is Falco peregrinus anatum. At one time, people called this falcon a duck hawk. That was a poor name, since falcons aren't hawks and they rarely kill ducks. The American peregrine was once found all across the eastern United States and southern Canada. In the west, the species was found from Mexico to California. DDT poisoning hit this subspecies the hardest. Even today, naturalists are still working hard to save the American peregrine from extinction. .....

.... with 47. Translocation occurs when part of the twenty-first chromosome breaks off and attaches to another cell. The total number of chromosomes is 46, however the excess material from the twenty-first chromosome results in the affects of the syndrome. With translocation, most cases occur sporadically, with no bearing on maternal age. These two types of this syndrome are very rare, being responsible for only 6 or 7 percent of all cases. Children with Down syndrome are at high risk for health problems. These include congenital heart defects, respir .....

.... the cause of these deaths. They suspect that the Red Tide off of the coast of southwest Florida has some connection with these mysterious deaths. A red tide is a bloom of flagellates which are deadly to marine life, but cause no harm to the human population. Another possible cause is a virus that is unknown to scientists. Many people believe that this problem will eventually stop an the manatee population will flourish, but others are rather pessimistic. Ecological Problem: The manatee population is quickly dying off and unless they make an astonishing comeback, they will soon be extinct. Ecolo .....
