Consent of the subject to determine whether IQ is inherited or not Hello __________________ This is Riya. Hope you are doing great. I am doing a Research project for which I need your help. Can I request you and your child to take a small test which will help me correlate data into some conclusions? I appreciate your participation in helping my research work. Thanking you. Synopsis: Genes are crucial for the development of any living organism on the Earth. They contain information which aids in protein synthesis. These proteins are important for the normal functioning of the body. Genes are inherited from the parents through the DNA. The offspring inherits one chromosome from each parent. However, the main question is whether the genes control the inheritance of the way a person thinks. Intelligence Quotient, also known as the IQ, is the measurement of the reasoning skills and intelligence of a person. This experiment was designed to determine whether the IQ is an inh...

Recently, there have been a lot of speculations about stem cells and their ethicality. The main question is: “Is it ethical to kill an embryo in order to procure stem cells where that embryo has a potential to grow into a human being?” To answer this question we first need to understand what are stem cells? What benefits do they provide us with? What are some disadvantages associated? Can they be used to treat a person who has been diagnosed with a terminal illness like cancer or an organ failure?   So let us begin with some basics. Stem cells are pluripotent cells, that is, they have an ability to develop into an organism. A zygote, product of a sperm and an ovum fusion, is a classic example of an undifferentiated stem cell. A zygote is a single undifferentiated cell which divides itself to form an embryo. The undifferentiated cells found in an embryo are called the Embryonic stem cells. As the embryo enters its eighth week it is called as a fetus. Here, the stem cells begin...

Abstract: Genes are crucial for the development of any living organism on the Earth. They contain information which aids in protein synthesis. These proteins are important for the normal functioning of the body. Genes are inherited from the parents through the DNA. The offspring inherits one chromosome from each parent. However, the main question is whether the genes control the inheritance of the way a person thinks. Intelligence Quotient, also known as the IQ, is the measurement of the reasoning skills and intelligence of a person. This experiment was designed to determine whether the IQ is an inherited factor. A parent and an offspring were asked to take an IQ test. The scores were used as a determining factor of whether IQ was inherited. Introduction: Intelligence Quotient, or the IQ, is a measurement of the intelligence a person possesses which is used to resolve quotidian complications. The IQ can be determined by taking an IQ test and calculating the score which ...

This is just to update you that my school, Rocky Hill High School, has selected me to enroll in National Honors Society which is a prestigious organization which helps students to secure recognization for the future career and endeavors.

I believe that the first day at school in my sophomore year was a career influencing factor for me. I had enrolled myself for honors biology class. Every upperclassman I knew warned me the instructor of the class, Mr. DeBacco was a “Hard Quiz Giver”, “Tough Grader” and getting a good grade in that class is tantamount to finding God on Earth. Okay. So the first slideshow for the class started with the title, “Day 1: What did I get myself into?” I will be honest I was nervous after reading this. Moreover, he gave us a quiz on the very first day of class. The pace of the class was hard to keep up with. Mr. DeBacco emphasized on paying attention to specific details on the slideshows. The first lab of the class was Seed Germination. We were expected to write a full and academic lab report. I had never written this type of lab report. Thus. I did what a normal teenager of the Google Era would do. I looked it up and started writing my lab report. I admit that it was the hardest writing I e...

Fasten your seatbelts! Today I am going to take you all on my wonderful journey from India to the United States. India is  a country of  thousands years of civilization and culture. I am proud that I was born in India despite various lacunae in public and civil life. I love my city Pune which is also known as the Oxford of East with great climate and culture. I went to Abhinava Vidyalaya English Medium School in Pune. I had many friends at school and society complex where I spent most of childhood. Childhood is wonderful time without any worries, cocooned by parents, pampered by a big family. I used to play tennis for hours at a local club called Solaris. My parents signed me up when I was just a seven year old. It was nice playing out there. As India is a tropical country there was no problem of snow and the winters were usually warm. The minimum temperature in winters in my hometown, Pune, was 69 degrees Fahrenheit. So I used to play tennis all year round. Along with tenn...
