A couple has a child with neurofibromatosis. They come to your genetic counseling office for help. After taking an extensive family history, you determine that there is not history of this disease on either side of the family. The couple wants to have another child and wants to be advised about the risks of that child having neurofibromatosis. What advice do you give them?

One of the interesting things about using the Linnaean taxonomic system for classification of organisms is how little it has changed over the years. It has expanded from 2 kingdoms to 6 and it has added the higher level of domain but very few organisms have had to be moved from one classification to another. That is because Linnaeus based his classification on physiology. Today most taxonomists classify organisms based on molecular biology. In other words, they use DNA to decide which group and organism should be put into. Since the physiology of an organism depends on its DNA, almost no organisms have been moved.
Can anyone find an example of an organism that was reclassified based on its DNA?

we talked about some changes that occurred in the past that reduced the spread of “germs.” For example, we talked about Lister and how he instituted hand washing and sterilization of equipment prior to surgeries. For this assignment I want you to give me an example of how something has been changed in society in order to decrease the spread of germs. If there was a specific event in history that lead to this change then please mention this as well. Give an example on how this change has helped to limit the spread of microbes. You don’t have to limit yourself to this century, you can find some good stuff people did throughout history. Don’t mention hand sanitizer, I’ve heard this one plenty. This is worth 5 points and please use all evidence with proof to support your statements.
