Part I – Discovery 1. L.H. Snyder used by the term “Mendelian marker” to mean that any Mendelian trait that is retested can be used as a marker for a future experiment. 2. The question that Dr. Snyder will be addressing in his study is “Can PTC be used as a Mendelian marker if it is inherited?” 3. His hypothesis is if PTC taster is inherited, it can be used as a Mendelian marker. Part II- Mendelian Genetics 1. The kind of evidence that would indicate that the ability to taste PTC is…

Margaret Kantz frames the reading by sharing her input on what facts, opinions, and arguments actually are. First, Kantz states that, "'research' does not mean compiling facts and transmitting them to a teacher, but instead it is using a variety of conflicting sources to make an original argument on the subject that one is researching." In other words, when writing a research paper, it is important to enter into the conversation and share how the information that you found while researching…

biology that would assist me in pursuing a medical career. Furthermore as I become an experienced doctor, I want to start a nonprofit organization with the mission of offering free medical care. By participating in the CUNY Summer Undergraduate Research Program, I am given a chance to come closer to my goal. I have always found a great deal of enjoyment helping others. In elementary school, I loved helping my siblings with their homework. In middle school, I participated in many community…

Discussion As the aim of this research is to observe the effects of mindfulness on coping behaviours complying which the first hypothesis of research proposed is ‘mindfulness would significantly benefit a person’s coping behaviour’ and the second hypothesis is ‘mindfulness would reduce stress responses in the surveys’; the results of the research, however, fail to support both the hypotheses that mindfulness would significantly benefit a person’s coping behavior and mindfulness would reduce…

only try and find evidence to prove it. Meanwhile, Pseudoscience’s tend to ignore conflicting evidence. The scientific paper titled “ Does Graphology Predict Personality and Intelligence?” has an abstract which clearly outlines the aims of the research and the methodology. The methodology used was a combination of the NEO personality test and three intelligence tests to reduce the validity issues from using a specific intelligence…

way to sharpen my skills is to apply them to real world problems. In the span of a single summer, I became comfortable with the basics of R, Matlab, and Python. I learned to use R and Matlab for data analysis/handling through the QAI course and my research with Professor Rothschild. After I left campus, I spent some time learning Python at an introductory level, and am now in CS 111 to solidify those skills. On top of learning about practical data handling using computers, the QAI summer course…

Francisella tularensis is a bacterium that has been recognized to be an agent responsible for the disease known as tularemia. This disease, in essence, sends the immune system of the organism into a hyperactive state, sometimes referred to as hypercytokinemia due to the elevated levels of various cytokines, which if not treated properly could lead to extremely high fevers, inflammation of various tissues, and (if contracted through aerosol form) the death of the infected organism. Specifically,…

Flores’ book God’s Gangs (NYU Press 2014) has won the American Sociological Association's (ASA) Latina/o Sociology Section's 2014 Distinguished Contribution to Research Book Award. The epicenter of America’s gang problem is Los Angeles. The common rituals and customs of gangs, including Los Angeles’ eastside gangs, are hand signals, graffiti, and clothing styles.

inconclusive. The authors did not provide a specific hypothesis. In this study, researchers conducted two separate trials to determine the safety and effectiveness of a PWS on healthy men and women. The first part of the trial was meant to specifically research the safety of using PWS. The second trial took a closer look at the actual impact preworkout supplements have on performance and mass. All trials were randomized, ran a total of six weeks, and all participants were tested before and after…

The Situation You have five bales of hay. For some reason, instead of being weighed individually, they were weighed in all possible combinations of two: bales 1 and 2, bales 1 and 3, bales 1 and 4, bales 1 and 5, bales 2 and 3, bales 2 and 4, and so on. The weights of each of these combinations were written down and arranged in numerical order, without keeping track of which weight matched which pair of bales. The weights in kilograms were 80, 82,83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 90, and 91. Your Task…
