Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, otherwise known as CJD, is a form of brain damage that leads to a rapid decrease of mental function and movement. CJD has been thought to be caused by a protein called prion. Prions cause normal proteins to fold abnormally, thus causing other proteins functions to then be affected. There are several types of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease which are all very rare. CJD can be grouped in three categories: sporadic disease, familial cases, and iatrogenic cases.
However if the behaviour is judged as immoral such as joining others in cheating there is less evidence of conformity as the costs are perceived as greater. Kohlberg found that individuals who are able to resist pressure to conform tend to be more morally advanced. Individuals can resist obedience if they have an ally who also opposes the authority figure. In Milgram’s study when the participant was given two allies that refused to continue giving shocks, only 10% of participants continued to the 450 volts shock level. Milgram claims that the presence of allies who resist an authority figure makes individuals more confident in their ability to do the same.
3.0 Chromosomal structure provides the key to inheritance The evidence that chromosomes contain hereditary material on genes, which is passed on to successive generations, is important to our understanding of life. It is well known that it is the sequence of nucleotides on the DNA that carries the genetic information, and that mutations are caused by changes in DNA structure. Mendel’s laws: Law of segregation Inherited characteristics are controlled by genes that occur in pairs. Each gamete contains one gene from each pair. The offspring therefore will regain a gene pair (one from each parent).
4. Without using numbers, describe the relationship between the Hamstring strength index 120°/s and the Triple hop index. There exists a moderate positive relationship between Hamstring strength index 120°/s and the Triple hop index. This means as Hamstring strength index 120°/s increases, Triple hop index increases. Likewise as Hamstring strength index 120°/s decreases, Triple hop index decreases.
Some children with cri-du-chat syndrome are born with a heart defect. 1. Is cri du chat syndrome inherited? A deletion is caused by a break in the DNA molecule that makes up a chromosome. Most cases of cri du chat syndrome are not inherited.
The R-squared value shows us the correlation between the two variables in each graph that we were comparing. A consistent, precise R-squared value would be ideally 1. In all three cases, only one of our methods gave us this result: Titration. So given our results titration was the most precise method. But, our Ideal Gas Law method was more precise than crystallization from the previous week due to our newly found R-squared value of 0.8909.
Takahashi found that 68% of infants were securely attached however 32% were insecure resistant. This was much higher than the American average. The Japanese

For both the Emotional Exhaustion and Depersonalization subscales higher mean scores correspond to higher degrees of experienced burnout. There is a moderate correlation between the two subscales (0.44 for frequency and 0.50 for intensity. The subscale of personal Accomplishment contains 8 items that describe feeling of competence and successful achievement in one’s work with people. Lower mean scores on this subscale correspond to higher degree of experienced burnout. The personal accomplishment subscale is independent of the other subscales and its components do not load negatively on them.
This system is called nucleotide excision repair and it is one of many systems that helps repair genes in the body. When it comes to Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP) this is not the case, the nucleotide excision repair is not working in this disease, causing this persons DNA to stay damaged and has a phenotype with an OMIM number of 278700 (McKusik, 1986) . This disease is not only brutal to ones DNA but because their body cannot repair the DNA when exposed to UV light for even a minute it can have drastic affects. This disease was really described by two dermatologists from Vienna. They described the disease as xeroderma, which means parchment skin and then later added on the word pigmetnosum
