Question

writing instructions
target writing level: advanced
research different fields and professions within biology, choose one that you find most interesting, then complete the following prompt:
write an essay about your chosen job and the field of science it belongs to. describe what that field of biology studies and how the job fits into that field.
hint:
-be sure to include any important facts about how the job makes an impact in science and describe some of the significant discoveries that have been made in its field.
questions to consider:

• what is a typical day in this job like?

Explanation:

The task is to research a field/profession in biology, choose one, and write an essay about it. For example, choosing "Geneticist" in the field of Genetics (a subfield of Biology). Genetics studies genes, heredity, and genetic variation. A geneticist's job fits as they research genetic disorders, develop treatments, and study how genes influence traits. They impact science by advancing our understanding of inherited diseases (e.g., discovering BRCA1/2 genes for breast cancer risk) and developing gene therapies. Significant discoveries include the structure of DNA, CRISPR - Cas9 gene editing, and understanding genetic basis of diseases like cystic fibrosis.

Answer:

An example choice is "Geneticist" in the field of "Genetics" (a subfield of Biology). The essay would then be written as per the prompt, describing what Genetics studies (genes, heredity, genetic variation), how a Geneticist fits (researching genetic disorders, developing treatments, studying gene - trait relationships), the impact (advancing understanding of inherited diseases, developing gene therapies), and significant discoveries (DNA structure, CRISPR - Cas9, genetic basis of cystic fibrosis, BRCA1/2 discovery).
