Cellular Processes and the Genetic Environment

ORDER NOW FOR AN ORIGINAL PAPER ASSIGNMENT: Cellular Processes and the Genetic Environment

Cellular Processes and the Genetic Environment

One of the more common biology analogies refers to cells as the “building blocks” of life. This rightfully places an emphasis on understanding cells, cellular behavior, and the impact of the environment in which they function.
Such an understanding helps explain how healthy cell activity contributes to good health. Just as importantly, it helps explain how breakdowns in cellular behavior and alterations to cells lead to health issues.
This week, you examine cellular processes that are subject to alterations that can lead to disease. You evaluate the genetic environments within which these processes exist as well as the impact these environments have on disease.

Learning Objectives
Students will:
• Evaluate cellular processes and alterations within cellular processes
• Evaluate the impact of the genetic environment on disease
