Adenine nucleotide translocase is a mitochondrial enzyme which plays a primary role in the cellular respiration process. The correct functioning of mitochondria is strictly dependent on this enzymatic system, which is located on the membrane and which is physiologically implicated in the transfer of neo-synthesized ATP molecules from the inner...

Genetic drift occurs when one characteristic or trait becomes more common in a population. This may be attributed to the random chance. This clearly means that it is not because it is advantageous or non-advantageous. Parisod at el., argue that “Genetic drift affects the allele frequency of finite populations; especially...

Factors such as ethnicity, genetics, and cultural background are an important example of objective data that has to be collected for an effective treatment of many specific diseases. Hence, in many instances, ethnical, genetic, and cultural considerations play an significant role in prescribing. A particular disease best illustrates the importance...

According to Cooper (2010), there is too little knowledge available regarding the link between general intelligence and physiological processes. The linkages between biological factors and intelligence seem to be much more important than linkages between learned capabilities and intelligence. The main factor of development of intelligence of an individual is...

Race is a social construction rather than a biological or genetic fact. The study of human genetics has advanced rapidly, but no new information has provided validation of race as a genetic structure. In fact, studies of differences and variation between human genetics are based on geographic location of historic...
