Why are scientists unable to tell how many different viruses there are?
Even before the knowledge of science exists, these things such as viruses already exsisted.....the scientist will know in time.
What invention was necessary before cell could be discovered?
i need this for science class!!!!!!!!!! If you do a bit of research, you will find that the answer is "THE MICROSCOPE". Look it up and see who invented it. Research is fun.
What will happen if you pour lemonade on a plant?
I've actually tried this as an experiment in science class before. If you pour lemonade on a plant (ex: grass) the plant surprisingly won't die. I
Why are VNTR and STR sections used in forensic DNA print analysis?
Because every person has a unique number of variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs) or short tandem repeats (STRs). These sequences are non-coding DNA (doesn't code for a protein), the amount of repeats targeted on a specific chromosome can be analyzed and sorted out by length using gel electrophoresis (electric current used to separate DNA fragments by length). If the a sample of DNA obtained from a crime scene was taken and amplified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), multiple techniques could be performed on it. The VNTR/STRs of the sample DNA are compared to the DNA of the accused individual, if they have the same number of repeats then they are most likely guilty of the crime, but if the repeats differ by even one sequence, it cannot be assumed that the DNA definitely matches that person. These techniques help in forensic science, but a lot of accuracy in proof is needed before it can be used in a court case.
What are the pros and cons of being a csi agent?
~ The Benefits and Challenges of Forensics Science ~ As I am by definition a young forensic scientist, my experience is limited. However, my time as a researcher in academic and now governmental contexts has shown me a number of "pros" and "cons" to a research career in forensic science. To begin positively, research automatically places your thinking on the cutting edge of science and technology. It is a special position, in that you are given the opportunity to observe the current state of the art, envision its future possibilities, and then strive towards one or more of those generally exciting developments. As a result, research is rarely routine. The nature of your work is constantly changing as you generate or become aware of new data. Furthermore, and perhaps most exciting, you may have a large impact on your field by changing its basic practices or introducing new, improved ideas before anyone else. Research serves a critical role in this respect. For any technical area, and forensic science in particular, a vigorous and well-executed research and development effort helps ensure the future integrity of the practice. However, research can also be frustrating and difficult. For example, the saying "If we knew what we were doing, it wouldn't be research" is very apt. You are often, even permanently, in a state of "not knowing." This applies to the many times when an experiment does not work, when you don't know the best way to proceed, or the fact that your questions will always outnumber your answers. While mastering these inner mental battles of research is important, one must always remember that all research happens in the context of the real world. This is especially true in the forensic sciences where one of the biggest mistakes one can make is to work on projects that are too esoteric or lack practical application. The worst consequence of this is that your research will largely be ignored and have little to no impact. Another necessary evil of conducting successful research is obtaining adequate funding. While some institutions have internal funds that can be dedicated to research, these funds are rare and often small in quantity. Hence, generating external research funds is necessary and you must always be prepared to justify your work to your current sponsors while at the same time soliciting future funding. Throughout this and other processes of research, you are called upon to communicate your results orally and through writing. While this may not be difficult, well-developed communication skills are critical. Finally, and of importance to a young scientist, full time research positions in the forensic sciences are rare. However, opportunities do exist, largely centered in academic and government labs that do not have a law enforcement focus. The time and monetary demands of full time casework often make research impossible in law enforcement agencies. Conversely, case work and court testimony will likely be a minor part of a research career.
Can you get a master's degree in forensic science before you get a batchelor degree?
Typically, the bachelors degree comes first, followed by the masters degree, and then the doctorate if one so chooses.
Do you need your bachelors before your doctorate?
Typically, its a bachelors, masters, and then doctorate. However, there are a few and ifs and buts.
What degree is required before undertaking a Masters degree?
A Bachelors degree is required prior to a Masters
What degrees do you have to have before getting a masters?
It is necessary to complete a three years Bachelors degree course before applying for a admission to a Masters degree
This college offers a masters degree but not a bachelors or associates so do you have to have had a bachelors degree before you can enter this college for its masters?
For colleges and universities within the United States, you must have a bachelor's degree first.
Is an associate's degree needed before a master's degree?
Yes an Associate and bachelors come before your Masters degree.
If you were 38 would you pursue a bachelor's degree or a masters?
You must complete a bachelor's degree before masters. However masters only takes 1-2 more years after your bachelors.
What benefits are there to obtaining a masters degree in music education rather than a bachelors degree?
The question is somewhat confusing. For this particular field the bachelors degree comes before the more advanced study particular to the masters degree. It doesn't appear to be an either or decision.
If you want your bachelors in design and your masters in business do you need to get your bachelors in business first?
No. My undergraduate work was in psychology, but my masters is in business (organizational management). If the masters requires some prerequisites that you have not yet completed, then you will have to complete them before entering the professional phase of the program. That's not always the case, but merely a possibility. In any case, it is very doable.
Where can I take a forensic science practice test?
You will need to study forensic science before you can take a practice test in it. You will need to investigate the degree programs of the more than thirty American institutions that offer such training.
Where can i find a forensic science school?
The top rated schools for forensic science are as follows: University of Mississippi, University of Central Florida, Loyola University of New Orleans, Michigan State University and Arkansas State University. Applications would need to be completed before admittance into any college and forensic science program.
When did Forensic science start?
The first recorded use of forensic science was in the year 1248. In this year, medical knowledge was used to solve a crime, which scrapes the surface of the forensic science that is used today. Methods involving blood typing have been utilized since about 1900, and certainly not before that. This knowledge has been sourced from the English Forensics Encyclopedia. I hope this helps!
