Biology

Biology is the study of living organisms and their behaviors, anatomy, and physiology. In addition, living organisms are characterized by their cellular structure, and their ability to grow, reproduce, evolve, metabolize, and maintain homeostasis. Each part of what makes an organism itself is intimately connected to each of its other features. Throughout my study of biology this semester, I learned about these relationships and decided they could be best represented through a concept map. To optimize

My intended undergraduate major is biology, and I was first introduced to this field of study in seventh grade. During that year, I enrolled in a biology class in which the first lesson emphasized the importance of cells in the sustainability of life. The idea that a living organism could be composed of anywhere from one to billions of cells fascinated me. I was in awe of the universe that thrives in each and every one of us. However, the class barely scratched the surface of that topic, and

During the first semester of biology, we were assigned a biome project. Where our objective as a group of 4, was to educate our class on the biome that we had pre-selected; my group and I chose the biome of coral reefs. For instance, we had to describe our biome in detail, problems that are currently threatening coral reefs, the abiotic/biotic factors, and add on a reference page. Additionally to this, my group and I, constructed an educational video based on all of the evidence, facts, and statistics

developed a passion for developmental biology through research and coursework at The University of Texas at Austin. Through my research, I have grown a deep appreciation for the complex integration of genetics, cell biology, and tissue-level events that contribute to the formation and growth of a living organism. The interdisciplinary nature of the field, coupled with the training I have received as an undergraduate lead me to believe that developmental biology would be an optimal area of study for

I most want to study Biology and Environmental Science. I am an enthusiastic member of the Environmental Club at my high school, and I have done research on butterfly diversity in Southern Costa Rica’s Talamanca Mountains and the Epigenetics of Hypertension at WKU. As a student at the Gatton Academy, I am free to study any subjects that I choose. I have been able to trade subjects that I am less interested in for ones that I enjoy more. Through this process of trial and error, I have discovered that

My goal is to harness my passion for biology to obtain a Ph.D., allowing me to conduct research on the underpinnings of human diseases. As a freshman, I shadowed in research labs in various areas of biology, and these experiences first ignited my passion for biological research. In my sophomore year of college, I joined a molecular biology lab that is interested in the mechanisms that coordinate two key steps in gene expression: splicing and transcription, as mutations in the proteins involved in

After I get accepted into UC Riverside, I will spend my time in school taking courses related to a biology major. For example, I will take 1 year of General Biology, 1 year of General Chemistry, 1 year of Physics, 1 semester of Calculus, 1 year of English (101 and another English A course), 1 semester of Biochemistry, 1 semester of Microbiology, and 1 semester of Human Anatomy and Physiology. In order to pass all my classes, I will go to every single lecture, study with flashcards, and create study

Introduction The final project of the Spring 2018 Foundations of Biology lab focuses on investigating variation in a population. As a class we study population variation to better understand evolution and the mechanics behind it. What is the basis of evolution? The basis of evolution is the differences in the alleles carried by the members of the population in their genome. The differentiation in allele frequency accounts for a majority of the observable hertable differences in a population. Specifically

Since Primary school, Science was a subject I would enjoy the most, but my interest for 2 Biology specifically increased whilst studying it at A level especially Human Biology. Biology 3 is a fascinating subject; it is one of the most actively changing and developing fields in 4 science. This rapid and significant progress has made a vast positive effect on people lives 5 and their health. How the human body works,impacts of various diseases and how to cure them, 6 all this

of yet is a marine biologist. With marine biology there is a lot of different things that this course will help me with. Like figuring out the word parts of the scientific names of different aquatic organisms or even just reading the names of the species. Also with being a marine biologist you'd have to write papers and reports to be able to show what you've discovered and what you know about them. Something else i'd like to along with marine biology is own my own facility where I can erase all
