The USPTO issued its 10 millionth patent in June of 2018.8Many patents that are issued go to companies in the technology industry. Apple was granted 2,536 patents in 2023. IBM and Qualcomm were also granted patents but Samsung received more than any company in the U.S. Their electronics div...
it should easily be able to complete it. The steps are nothing but algorithms. An algorithm can be as simple as printing two numbers or as difficult as predicting who will win elections in the coming year!
What are genes? A woman has a blood type of A+. Her daughter is O+, and her son is B negative. Rh positive is a simple dominant over Rh negative. What is the woman's genotype? (a) AO+- (b) AA++ (c) AO++ (d) AO-- ...
A body can have XY (i.e. biologically male) chromosomes, but for other genetic reasons (such as variations on other related genes), develop a female body. Testes don’t descend while XY fetuses are in the womb, so when they are born, they might look like any other baby girl. Often...
(SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and infrastructure as a service (IaaS). The definitions of these services are straightforward, but in practice, it can be difficult to determine where infrastructure ends and platform begins. Often customers combine these services in fairly complex ways to ...
One of the most reliable ways to find out what a gene is for is to find another gene with a very similar sequence. The human genes for hemoglobin and the chimpanzee genes for hemoglobin are a case in point. Since our ancestors diverged about six million years ago, the genes in each lin...
In my view, we should hold a cautious attitude toward some of the violent video games. On the one hand, there is no denying the fact that playing video games during the leisure time can make people relaxed. But on the oth...
Transcription Units Instead of Genes Given the vast quantity of DNA that appears to have little protein-encoding power and the fact that so much of this DNA resides right in the middle of functional genes (as introns), some scientists prefer to think in terms of "transcription units" rather ...
What are genetic mutations? What is/are a genetic mutation(s) that you have? What is the importance of heredity? What is the importance of genetic mutations in organisms? What discoveries in genetics have led to the realization that genetic mapping is not quite as simple as genes being linke...
Linked genes are those genes in a gene pool that are in close proximity to each other and are more likely to be inherited together as if they were linked because they are physically close together on the chromosome. They are inherited together during meiosis....
