Autism Biology
Case study of biology?
Can someone give me an example of a case study of biology because I have no idea this to be put inside or research or how many pages it should be … I have a biology teacher refuse it really gave us one week or 2 do anything would be greatly appreciated …. My topic is Does MMR cause autism? if any research will also be much appreciated .. but if Thank you please state your source!
There is nothing wrong with your choice of case studies – I think it's a valid choice and interesting and has the potential to enhance your approach. The answer is not important, what is important is knowing how and what you are, and not get bogged down in popular opinion. A couple of ideas to start to work on-1) You must set to investigate whether MMR could theoretically mutate into a variant of the disease. It is much easier than identifying a link between MMR and autism cast, and you can save the difficulty of defining autism. Thus, the title could be along the lines of MMR does introduce the risk of another disease? 2) you can discuss elements of the MMR vaccine – which are undead virus – that is to say, live viruses. You should be able to source details of the vaccine components MMR fairly easily. 3) If immunizations are carried by bacteria it is easy to kill bacteria and ensure that the bacteria are then unable reproduce. This is not the case with viruses. You can specify how it is difficult to "kill" or inactivate viruses, and highlight some the most extreme environments, they can lay dormant in. For example, see also the last 'great' flu epidemic of the graves still contain viable virus, also used in lengths handling of the crisis of BSE The conclusion of this part is that one or more components of the MMR vaccine containing material genetic viability. 4) Then you can refer to an article in Time Magazine, which was to discuss the bird flu problem, which he stressed that viruses exchange genetic material more easily with other viruses and are therefore inherently faster and more likely to mutate (that, example, bacteria). This idea is very much in the public domain and will be easy to source. You can also report individual cases where bird flu has mutated suffficiently to infect humans, as an example of virus mutation.
