Standard Trisomy 21 is when an extra 21st chromosome is duplicated. The extra copy could come from the egg or sperm cell. Translocation is caused when pieces of the 21st chromosome is located on another chromosome such as 14 or 17. And finally Mosaicism, Mosaicism is the presence of multiple types of cells with different genotypes in one individual cell. An example of this is when, some cells contain the usual 46 chromosome but will also contain genetic material of 47 as well. (What is Down Syndrome?pg

Imagine a world full of “Mini-Hitlers”, genetic replicates of Adolf Hitler, seeking world domination. Picture them starting a second Holocaust on a worldwide scale, killing millions upon millions of people as a “final solution” to establish a superior race. This scenario is far-fetched, but this is the kind of thing people think about when they hear the word “cloning”. Cloning has frequently surfaced within the media, and continues to garner attention. For example, the movie Jurassic Park features

very flawed. At the moment of conception a full human person exist. A person is a person from the moment of conception. Everything about the person, like hair color, skin color and size was decided from that moment. Through the act of taking out stem cells from a developing human, one is preventing the embryo from developing in a normal way. This means one is preventing the embryo from becoming what is supposed to be: a human. Some argue that an embryo in an early stage of life is too undeveloped or

ubiquitin has attached to the protein, the proteasome allows the protein to fasten itself to its cap. The cap opens and the unwinding protein is able to enter the catalytic core of the proteasome. The protein is chopped up and released back into the cell to be used again. Occasionally, this system can malfunction, leaving either too much of a faulty protein or breaking down healthy ones. This can cause diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, cancers, rheumatoid arthritis, and many infectious diseases

Imagine a world where no one has disabilities, diseases or any other problem like that and Imagine that humans could live to 150 or above. Well as it turns out this just maybe be possible. “Recently Scientist have started using a new form of surgery that involves using enzymes to get rid of diseases and disabilities by cutting them out” (Griffin, A , 2017). This is known as Genetic Therapy or Gene Engineering and with it we could change the world for the better. So now I’ll tell you just some of

The best set of standards in reference to expert witness admissibility for the state of Florida is to follow an amended version of the Daubert standard, which is considered to be a mixture of Federal Rules of Evidence, Rule 702 with The Daubert Standard. This standard renders a better working solution to the original ‘general acceptance’ method of the Frye standard in the 1920’s. It allows the judge to be more of a referee in regards to information, it allows only trustworthy, qualified experts to

What is a Genetic Disorder? A genetic disorder is the absence of a gene which causes you to have a disease or a condition. Genetic disorders are an abnormality of DNA inherited medical conditions. Noonan syndrome is a genetic disorder that can affect your body in many ways. Noonan syndrome is genetic. It lacks normal development in your body such as facial characteristics, heart problems, short stature, and many other physical issues and developmental delays (Learning about Noonan Syndrome, 2013)

Progressive hepatolenticular disease, or more commonly known as Wilson’s Disease, is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder of copper metabolism that is characterized by hepatic and neurological disease. It was first described by as a syndrome by Kinnier Wilson in 1912, however, the advancements in scientific technology and understanding have allowed a better understanding of the cellular biology, genetic basis, and treatments of Wilson’s Disease since the time of Kinnier Wilson.

Biologi Kost og sundhed Helene og Kristoffer ”Uden mad og drikke duer helten ikke” Hvis Ikke kroppen får mad og drikke, kan den ikke fungere. En vigtig del af den daglige nærring er nærringsstoffer. Nærringsstoffer består af kemiske substanser, som vi finder i maden. Gennem den mad vi spiser optager vi de forskellige næringsstoffer så kroppen kan fungere optimalt. Kroppen har brug for alle de forskellige næringsstoffer dog i forskellig grad og mængde. Vi får energi fra de forskellige næringsstoffer
