Behavioral Genomics

     Due to the behavior Genomics questions occur if the behaviors of human beings can ls who are controlled by genes, or are due to environmental factors. Sir Francis Galton, a cousin of Darwin was the first study that if human behavior can be inherited, for it had to dierenciar between innate behaviors and those who are affected by the environment may like to know as intelligence, could be inherited, therefore, Galton studied the behavioral characteristics of genetically identical twins who were raised in different environments. Galton astutely observed that the twins had similar characteristics at birth but became different when reared under different conditions, then the results support the idea that the environment was the main influence on human behavior. Using this method, Galton follows that nature played a significant role in the way they behave.

 

     Today, behavioral geneticists have the same goal which Galton, "understand the genetic and environmental individual variations in behavior contributions". Theories support the role of genes and environment on behavioral outcomes. There are reports suggesting that scientists have found the gene that is responsible for a particular behavioral trait as alcoholism, sexual orientation, etc. They are false reports. Indeed, animal behaviors are the result of multiple genes interacting with numerous environmental factors.

 

    Twin studies are still a common way of investigating human behavior that can be inherited, scientists use these studies to identify specific genes that may be linked to behavioral phenotypes, used in their study model organisms that have been in many other studies as drosophila melanogaster known as fruit flies.

Dragon Ball Z 

     Dragon Ball is a manga written and illustrated by Akira Toriyama. It was originally published in the magazine Shonen Jump, the Japanese publisher Shueisha between 1984 and 1995.

 

     Two years after its launch, Toei Animation released a anime adaptation that spanned roughly the first half of the work. After completing its transmission channel in 1989 by Fuji Television in Japan, Toei released a sequel titled Dragon Ball Z, which incorporated the remaining content of manga.1 A third anime produced by the same studio opened in 1996. Dubbed Dragon Ball GT, has an original argument was not involved in the drafting Toriyama.3 violence and nudity present both in some episodes of the anime, although the manga, provoked censorship by distributors in different countries.

 

     Sales of printed material, quantified over 156 million copies in Japan and over 230 million worldwide, led to Dragon Ball to be one of the most successful titles. The anime adaptations also achieved notable success; in 1999, for example, one chapter achieved record ratings on Cartoon Network, with 1.7 million viewers. Dragon Ball is considered one of the popular contemporary times and most influential works, and has served as inspiration for other sleeves.

Tropisms

     Tropism is a growth response involving the curvature of part of the plant in the same direction or opposite direction in which acts a stimulus. If the plant part is curved towards the said stimulus is positive tropism, if counterclockwise curve is negative tropism. Several types of tropisms as phototropism is moving towards plant growth or against light, as in growth, light is very important in carrying out photosynthesis factor.

     

   This change occurs because the plants have specialized receptors called plant growth regulators or plant hormones, which are organic compounds of low molecular weight active at very low concentrations in locations distant from where they are produced, taking part in many physiological processes, these regulators are directly involved in metabolic processes or the development process.

     

     The first studies on phototropism are due to Charles Darwin and his son Francis, who when performing an experiment with grass seedlings observed that by stimulating the coleoptile (sheath that surrounds the first leaves emerging from the embryo after germination) with light source side, he bent toward the light. They covered the coleoptile to avoid the stimulus and growth was vertical, but instead of covering the tip covered what was the basis, growth was tilted. These results led to the conclusion that there was something has occurred in the tip and transmitted to the base, which was causing the growth.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

     The next trilogy based on a book by JK. Rowling called Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them will debut on screen writing Rowling. David Heyman also director who produced the Harry Potter will return as producer of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
