The precise source of diabetic issues in children is not known. However, aspects like genetics, household history, bad diet plan, etc. are considered as some of the diabetes causing aspects. In many of the cases, adolescent diabetes is a genetic (acquired at birth). diabetes symptoms in children ...

Mammography (also called mastography) is the process of using low-energy X-rays (usually around 30 kVp) to examine the human breast for diagnosis and screening. The goal of mammography is the early detection of breast cancer, typically through detection of characteristic masses or microcalcificat...

AOM is an infection of rapid onset that usually presents with ear pain. In young children this may result in pulling at the ear, increased cryi...
Transcription—A molecular view
By: HWC, Views: 3313
Transcription, as related to genomics, is the process of making an RNA copy of a gene's DNA sequence. This copy, called messenger RNA (mRNA), carries the gene's protein information encoded in DNA. During transcription, a DNA molecule is copied into RNA molecules that are then used to translate...
How to find out if a population is evolving?
By: HWC, Views: 4705
Imagine a butterfly population with a pair of alleles that influence wing color as shown. We will represent the frequency of the dominant allele as p and the recessive allele as q. The Hardy-Weinberg rule describes what happens if a population is at genetic equilibrium—if it is not evolving...
DNA Replication Factory and Protein
By: HWC, Views: 7233
DNA (deoxyribose nucleic acid) carries all the genetic information needed to re-create itself and to pass on the characteristics of the organism. The “factory” model of DNA replication hypothesizes a specific nuclear structure in which the molecular machinery for replication forks are brou...
