In the passage, “Should You Clone Your Pet” published by Sscholastic magazine, there are many pros and cons to cloning. The article stated, “With the help of modern day science, some pet owners are bringing their pets back to life…” Wow! This is amazing, if you lose your pet you can just get him back again! But that's not completely the case. Some people think that cloning is a good effect on society because researchers use cloning on other animals then just the average dog or cat to develop new

are uni-cellular microorganisms and are categorised as prokaryotes, which means they have no nucleus present in their cell. The 4 common shapes and characteristics of bacteria are Cocci, Bacilli, Spirilla and Vibrio. Cocci are spherical shaped, bacilli are rod shaped, Spirilla are spiral shaped and vibrio is comma shaped. The main structure features of bacteria include a capsule, cell wall, cytoplasm, naked circular DNA and plasma membrane (infolding). The method of reproduction for bacteria is asexual

rate, infection-fighting white blood cells are delivered to sites of infection more rapidly, (Tortora and Derrickson 2009). Death results if the core temperature rises above, 44-46°C. Swelling Swelling is a consequence of increased fluid flow from the arterial capillaries into the interstitial fluid as the capillaries become more permeable. Increased flow through the damaged area into the lymphatic system helps remove pathogenic toxins and dead blood cells. The lymphatic capillaries have anchoring

populations of genetically identical individuals that occurs in nature when organisms such as bacteria, insects or plants reproduce asexually. Cloning in biotechnology refers to processes used to create copies of DNA fragments (molecular cloning), cells (cell cloning), or organisms. The term also refers to the production of multiple copies of a product such as digital media or software.” According to the authors from, “Wikipedia.” Cloning can supply organs or tissues for transplants, and there is a benefit

suspended in the cytosol of eukaryotic cells, are specifically designed to assist in the survival of the cell. For example, the nucleus, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and Golgi apparatus are all specific organelles that should be present in a eukaryotic cell. The nucleus, which contains most of the genes in the eukaryotic cell, consists of the nuclear envelope, the nucleolus, and chromatin. Each of these three parts of nucleus plays an important role in the cell. The nuclear envelope separates

embryo to derive embryonic stem cells for the treatment of different diseases. Both therapeutic cloning and reproductive cloning are done through the same process, somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). A somatic cell is a body cell (basically any other cell besides a sperm or egg cell). SCNT typically uses skin cells. The nucleus of a skin cell is removed and injected into an egg cell (that has had the nucleus removed). The egg cell with the nucleus of the skin cell will act like a newly fertilized

formation of a new cell wall in plants? A. Golgi vesicles B. Nucleus C. Lysosomes D. Smooth ER E. Mitochondrial cristae There are two types of cells: Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells do not have a central nuclei nor membrane closed organelles. For Eukaryotic cells, they contain internal membranes to house multiple organelles. Each structure in a eukaryotic cell has a significant function which contributes to the cell’s ability to survive. Plant and animal cells contain most of

twins is considering having a natural clone; they carry the same DNA and have nearly the same genetic makeup as each other. In the past twenty years, artificial cloning has come around. Artificial cloning is the process of removing a mature somatic cell from an animal and injecting its DNA into another empty or non-mature egg. Cloning became national news after a sheep, called Dolly, was the first clone to survive the process (https://www.genome.gov/25020028/cloning-fact-sheet/). Scientists at the

Contrary to popular notion, cloning started more than a century before Dolly, the first cloned mammal, became famous. It cannot be denied, nonetheless, that Dolly awakened the imagination of the populace regarding the pros and cons of cloning. It is a debate that continues to polarize society 15 years after the birth of the most famous sheep on Earth. Discussion We must emphasize that the cloning referred to in this article refers to reproductive, gene and therapeutic cloning. Reproductive

Plant Cell Organelles and Their Functions BIO 204 Cell Animation. 1) Golgi apparatus: The Golgi apparatus is flattened sacs involved in storing, modifying, and secreting proteins and lipids. 2) Chloroplast: The chloroplast contains green chlorophyll and is the site of photosynthesis and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production. Mitochondria and chloroplasts contain their own deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules. a) Outer membrane: The chloroplast’s outer membrane is
