My Final Human Biology Paper
Whenever something happens to my family and I characteristically-wise, we always make references to “it’s because you’ve inherited my genes.” I’ve inherited some certain genes from my Dad and others from my Mom, and I’ve always wondered how I was able to acquire these traits. Taking a psychology class some time ago only made me wanted to explore the subject even more. My goal for this paper is to try to understand how the DNA inside our bodies work, how they relate to our genes, and most importantly, how it relates to biology. First off, what is DNA? DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid and is a double-helix structure within our bodies, and it holds all our genetic information. It transmits that genetic information to make other cells and even new organisms. The structure is made out of nucleotides, and each of these nucleotides is made up of...
