Inheritance of IQ By: Riya Naik 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

When we hear RNAs many of us think about it as some cell organelles that produce proteins. Or perhaps, some people do not know what an RNA is. Its main function is to produce proteins; however, it has many functions. But how does a small RNA translate proteins which are essential for the survival of the humans? These RNAs are always neglected and they deserve some attention for the enormous work they do. So let us begin with the “Central Dogma of Biology”. Many biology students dread it; however, it is an important concept we should understand. It all begins with our good old friend DNA. In my opinion, it is the king in our bodies. It contains our genes! So the DNA in the nucleus of the cell to be specific in the nucleolus transcribes an mRNA or the messenger RNA. To transcribe an mRNA the DNA initially has to replicate itself. To transcribe means to copy a DNA strand to produce RNA and this is the first step in gene expression. The DNA has two complementary strands that are sepa
