BIO DB and Assignment

BIO DB#2

Have you, or has someone close to you, suffered from cancer? How did it change the way you look at cancer and your health? If you feel this question is too personal, then discuss risk factors for prostate cancer if you are male or breast cancer if you are female.

BIO DB# 3

Consider your own genetics (traits received from your parents) and the environment in which you grew up. Which do you think has a greater impact on a person's life decisions—"nature" (the genes people have) or "nurture" (the environment people in which grow up)? Explain your choice and support it with examples if possible. Remember that just because your parents behaved a certain way does not mean that such behavior is not embedded in their genes. You might "nurtured" a certain way because of genetics in your parents.
