Running head: The Ethics of Cloning The Ethics of Cloning Team D: Casey Krueger, Erin Lee, Ferdinand Malarayap, Marvin Monge, and Ibrahim Mortada August 14, 2011 DeVry University Online Stem cell research and cloning have become a major topic of interest in countries all around the world ever since Dolly the sheep was successfully cloned in 1997. Every single country has their own views about stem cell research and cloning because of their moral and ethical issues. Muslims, for example

Genetics’ Testing When asked the question “should consumers have the right to buy any genetics test?” the first thought that pops into my head is, “wait, how much do I really know about genetics?” According to an article by Katherine Harmon a debated issue on selling an over the counter genetic test is one of great concern. When I began reading this article all I could really think was, “wow, what if I bought the test (being as curious as I am) and did it wrong?” In absolutely no way do I think

Lab13: *Evolution: change in allele frequencies in a population over time * The population does not occur if: A. The breeding population is large. The effect of a change in allele frequencies is reduced. B. Mating is random. Organisms show no mating preference for a particular genotype. C. There is no net mutation of the alleles. D. There is no migration or emigration of organisms. E. There is no natural selection. Every organism has an equal chance for passing on their genotypes. Dom

Genetic diseases Haemophilia Causes There is an carrier which is most often the female and there is an uninfected male. When they have children if they girls they will not get the disorder but one of the girls will not have the disorder them self but be a carrier for her children. If they had for example 4 boys, 3 of them would be infected with the disorder but one child will not be. Symptoms General symptoms of haemophilia are internal or external bleedings. This are called bleeds also a person

March 1, 2014 Gene therapy is the transplantation of normal genes into cells in place of missing or defective ones in order to correct genetic disorders (Genetics home reference, n.d). This is a promising treatment for diseases such as inherited disorders, some types of cancer, and certain viral infections. The way this treatment works is by introducing genetic material into cells to compensate for genes that are abnormal or are not making beneficial proteins. Mutated genes can cause a protein

bought at a supermarket, taste different than the tomatoes at a farmers market. Well to answer that curious person, the tomatoes from the supermarket are most likely Genetically Modified. Genetically Modified foods (GM foods) are organisms in which genetic material (DNA) have been altered in a way that is not natural. Basically they are inserting genes of another species into their DNA, the process is known as biotechnology. 45 percent of corn and 85 percent of soybean are genetically modified. Fulton
