DearEST my beloved Year 11 students,
Still remember your March 31st homework on
summarizing a Biotech article from a Wall Street Journal,
March 27-29, 2009? If you lose your photocopy, here is the online version:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123809943944451143.html
It was a 2-week-ago homework, eh? Come on ... elephants never forget!
It's a proverb, okaaaay? Not literally offending my own body, for goodness!
OR, if you do not want to summarize the long article of biotech,
you had better do the REAL BIOLOGY web,
try ANY 2 exercises here, then submit the answers to me.
The *website is:
http://www.quia.com/pages/travishunt.html
Please include THE EXACT LINK of the 2 (TWO) exercises
and the answers (after you try it, of course, ho ho ho). Deadline
of EITHER the Wall Street Journal summary
OR the answers to the 2 Travis Hunt
exercises ---> Friday, April 17, 2009. Post your answers in
this COMMENT BOX ....
Am I not so kind and sweet?
I know you're facing your 1st hurdle/ toughest step for
Olympiad selection this Wednesday, April 15, 2009. Good LUCK!
*I once gave it to SMAK 1 PENABUR Jakarta student,
Ferdy, and he went to the top 17 students for IBO (Olympiad)
of the Indonesian team.
Love,
SIR

Biotech companies always faced a same problem; needed long time to develop products and a high failure rate. That problem make Biotech companies need a lot of money, and if the money problem is not supported, it can make many companies go to bankrupt. To decrease such problem, universities offer joint-degree programs combining science and business studies. Some universities in Asia such as Macquarie University and the University of Queensland even offer full dual-degree courses.
yg dari sini ah sir.[walaupun kaga ngarti]
hehehe...

yg kuis kaga ngarti ah.
Commercialization is one of the Biotech Project's problems. Commercialization needs a lot of money, except big pharmaceutical companies who have big funds. So, they do not afraid to settle this problem. On the other hand, they must take risk if their project has been failed. They must have enough skill and intelligence to enter the field of Biotech. So, some universities offer joint-degree programs combining science and business studies to help them who interested with Biotech.
can't copy the link sir (can not reopen) ....
so, I copy the answer
1st answers: (protein synthesis)
1 Proteins from food broken down into proteins and then amino acids in digestive tract.
2 Amino acids absorbed into body's cells.
3 TRANSCRIPTION begins in the cell's nucleus.
4 RNA polymerase finds the beginning of gene to be copied and binds to it.
5 RNA polymerase forces the DNA to unwind
6 RNA polymerase orders base pairs to match the DNA (T->U, A->T, G->C, C->G), mRNA results.
7 Long mRNA chain created.
8 RNA polymerase continues to a stop signal: mRNA and RNA polymerase detach, DNA rewinds.
9 TRANSLATION begins in the cytoplasm.
10 mRNA binds to ribosomes.
11 The ribosome acts as an enzyme to match mRNA codons (3 base pairs) with tRNA anti-codons (3 matching base pairs).
12 Codon - Anti-codon binding allows the amino acid on tRNA to bind to previous amino acid.
13 This new string of amino acids (now called a protein) is released to perform it's function.

Nowadays, a number of university such as in Europe, Asia, Australia, and India offer study in combined science and business due to the need of multi-talented scientist. In this program, students can improve their skills in commercialization of life-science, networking, license process, etc. Many industries especially some biotechnology companies face same problems in human resources, so this dual-degree program is being developed by many universities and interested by many students to get guaranteed employment.
Nowadays, some universities all over the world offer their applicant new combination major, biology (natural science) with business. Here, the students are not only learn how to make science products, but also learn how to make this product useful and gain profit. One of the program is to became the apprentice in one of science pharmacy beside working in the laboratory. The other purpose is understanding how to fund biology product, as the experiment cost pretty expensive.
Biotech companies always have faced a high failure rate, so they have to find a way to fund the projects. Because of this, some schools and universities offer the combined major, biology and business, so th students can learn to do not only science projects, but also the way to gain profit and to commercialize their projects.

Biotech companies need a long time with a high failure rate to develop a new product. To make it successful, they need a lot of money before making money from commercializing their products. Some universities provide a dual degree in biotechnology and business; it is because scientists have to know how to commercialize their own products. Scientists also learn to optimize their cash in developing products to gain maximum profit.
Talking about research on biotech field, we should not only focus on how to develop a project trough experiment and academic process, but we should also consider the fund because money is needed to facilitate and also optimize our project. That’s why some universities in all around the world offer double degree program in science and business in order to educate the researchers how to commercialize and maximize their product and then gain money back.
Noel Manuputty
Biotech companies always have faced a high failure rate, so it is hard to gain any sponsor for their projects, so they have to find a way to fund the projects so that the projects can keep going. Because of this, some schools and universities offer the combination of two unrelated major, which is biology and business, so that the students can learn how to do not only science projects, but also the way to gain profit from what they do and to commercialize their projects.

Population : Group of interbreeding individuals
Small frogs can hide in holes, large frogs can jump away from predators : Example of disruptive selection
A meiosis mistake causes badgers to have longer claws : examples of mutation
Gene pool : All genetic information in a population
Disruptive selection : Both extremes more likely to reproduce than median phenotypes
Sexual selection : Choosing of a mate by the male or female of a species
Directional selection : One phenotypic extreme is more likely to reproduce
Genetic drift : Change in allele frequencies in population as a result of random processes

All segments and parts of the world technologies faced the same problems, about financial problems. Even in biotech companies, not only the money, but also the others; long time to develop products and a high failure rate. So that the companies will be bankrupt if the money problems can’t be supported. Many people think how to decrease such problems and they find the answer. Nowadays, a lot of universities over the world offer joint degree programs combining science and business studies.

Great! 14 of you have submitted your work. Interesting Biology website eh, I meant the TRAVISHUNT.
However, for a university lecture, you will often face the Biotech-Business type of text. Next time, try to point out the gist/ main points of the Wall Street Journal article.
Where are Ratna and Ari's work, guys? Btw, thanks to Ms. Nina's for dropping by. Ehm! Where's Mr. Rizal?
