\nIs There More Biology In Your Future?
\nWith global problems like climate change and health care, there is more career potential in biology and associated fields than any other. Competition is very fierce for good jobs, let alone jobs that require the most skill and offer the most reward and satisfaction. Your task is to research and present a profession to the class. In a brief oral presentation (no more than 5 minutes) prepare to discuss the following:
\n1. What is the career you have researched? -Bioinformatics
\n2. Describe the work itself. Where would you work? What activities does the job require?
\nBioinformatics Specialists design and apply computer systems and databases to organize, analyze,
\nand mine biological data. The ultimate goal of the field is to enable the discovery of new biological insights. Work in a science lab. laboratory, classroom, or an industrial setting.
\n3. What kind of education do you need to do this job? Be specific; advise someone about what degrees are required and what those programs entail. What higher degrees are needed?
\n-Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, mathematics, or bioinformatics
\n -experience using and programming relational databases
\n -Experience developing web-based applications
\n -Familiarity with the use of open source software libraries in software development
\n -Knowledge of a scientific data analysis package such as R or MATLAB, as well as background in the biological sciences
\n4. Where would someone go to college to learn how to do this job?
\nTexas A&M
\n5. Does it pay well? Find salary information on this profession.
\n$93,368 per year
\n6. Where would you work? If you were in this profession, where do you picture yourself working? (For example, as a paleontologist, you may want to work at a museum, and choose a specific museum such as the AMNH or the ANSP, and conduct field work in New Mexico).
\n1. Laboratory in New Jersey Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory
\n
\n7. How would you use your education in biological science in this profession?
\n
\n7. What kind of contributions to society would you make? Can you identify specific problems to tackle or questions to answer?
\n8. Find examples of people who are in your profession. Present something interesting about their contribution to the field. Are they famous scientists nearby? Are they doctors whom you can interview?
\nMake your presentation interesting\u2026The more of your classmates that could be persuaded to consider your profession, the better your grade.
\nUse the following websites to select a career. Be as specific as possible. If you are interested in medicine, pick a specific discipline. If you are interested in zoos, museums, hospitals, larger organizations or companies, select a specific job title.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"39560468","dateCreated":"1306351678","smartDate":"May 25, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"carina_nebula","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/carina_nebula","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/pic\/1284837173\/carina_nebula-lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/honorsbio5.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/39560468"},"dateDigested":1532128587,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"questions","description":"1.If a barn owl producesone pellet each day, estimate how much food an owl eats in one year.

Down Syndrome usually occurs when there is an extra copy of chromosome 21, therefore the person has 47 chromosomes instead of 46. Children with Down Syndrome have a widely recognized appearance. Some common signs include excess skin at the nape of the neck, a flattened nose, smalls ears, small mouth any many more. The children can also have delayed mental and social development. For example, the can have impulsive behavior, poor judgment, a short attention span, and they are a little slower with learning.
\nDown Syndrome isn't really treatable. Some children may have to get surgery after birth depending on their conditions. Some children may not require surgery. They are some important tips parents need to keep in mind while raising a child with Down Syndrome. It is important that those with Down Syndrome learn to advocate for themselves in difficult situations and learn to put themselves in safe environments.

Trisomy 13 occurs when there is an additional 13th chromosome. The most common symptoms to this disease include facial defects like cleft lip or palate. Not only can this happen, but there may also be eye defects, holoprosencephaly, and single umbelical artery and omphalocele, which is when abdominal organs push through the bell-button. In every case of Patau syndrome, there are severe mental problems. In addition, there are heart defects, scalp defects, kidney defects, and seizures. Most of the people who have this disease die soon after birth. Sadly, only about 5-10% of them live after their first year of life. The people who suffer from this disease will need feeding assistance and mental stimulation. Surgery may help some of the symptoms of this disease according to how bad it is. There is no way of preventing Patau syndrome, but you can take tests to see if you are a carrier.

People with this disorder are always male, but have a "girlish" appearance.(lanky, youthful appearance, gynecomastia) People with Klinefelter's are usually subject to mental retardation, being infertile, dyxlexia, hypogonadism, and increased risk of breast cancer and osteoporosis. This is a nondisjunctional mutation where during meiosis an X and Y chromosomes fail to seperate within a sperm and that fertilizes an egg, which is a X chromosome. This disease can not be cured, but can be treated with testosterone for those that want a more masciline appearance. For ones that have gynecomastia or hypogonadism, they can have surgical procedures.
