Monkey See, Monkey Do - Parallels Between Human & Animal Memory
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper that explores the similarities and relations between the human processes of memory and those of the animal species, primarily the Chimpanzee. Arguments defending both the similarities and the differences in the behavioral habits of the Chimpanzee as compared to those of the human species are presented, as well as recent research findings. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Nature Verses Nurture: Impacts on Child Motivation and Temperament
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page overview of the relative importance of nature verses nurture, genetics verses environment, on a child’s temperament and motivation. Emphasizes that research does indeed support the contention of a genetic predisposition toward certain behaviors but that this research does not dismiss the need to constructively format a child’s environment to enhance both motivation and temperament. Bibliography lists 15 sources.

Obesity: Physiological, Psychological, Sociological and Economic Factors
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page overview of obesity and the factors which interplay to cause the condition and those which result from it. Defines obesity and provides statistics from the United States of the proportion of the populace who are considered to be one degree or another obese. Traces the physiological, psychological, sociological and economic correlates with the condition. Emphasizes that unfavorable environmental influences acting upon genetically predisposed individuals is the most logical explanation for obesity. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

Polycomb Group-Mediated Repression of Homeotic Gene Expression in Drosophila
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing two possible actions of polycomb group (PcG) genes in repressing homeotic gene expression in Drosophila. One is that PcG binds to DNA through PcG response elements; the other is the dMi-2 and Hb combine to recruit PcG to DNA, though it may also be possible that Hb recruits dMi-2 directly to DNA. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Prokaryotic Cells: Similarities and Differences Between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells and the Potential for Genetic Manipulation
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page discussion of the cellular structure of these two broad categories of cells. Notes that prokaryotic cells lack a limiting nuclear membrane and are represented among single cell organisms such as bacteria and the blue green algae while eukaryotic cells are found in multicellular organisms. Describes the major structural components of these cells and emphasizes that even the most simplistic of these cells can have tremendous importance even to the most advanced of multicellular organisms. Notes that this importance can be particularly concerning in the case of genetic modification of disease causing single-cell organisms for the purposes of biological warfare.
