what GMO actually is, “While genetic breeding combines the DNA of two varieties of the same species, or of two related species by normal sexual breeding, genetic engineering removes part of the DNA of one species, then combines it with the DNA of a totally different species [that would never breed together naturally]. This is done by manipulating the biochemistry of the DNA during cell division (splitting of one cell into two new cells) and DNA replication (producing two identical copies of the cell’s

DNA vs. RNA Dustin D. Napier Computer Science Degree Grantham University DNA vs. RNA DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid, while RNA is ribonucleic acid. DNA is a double strand and RNA is a single strand. Although DNA and RNA both carry genetic information, there are quite a few differences between them. The following information will describe the differences between DNA and RNA DNA DNA contains long-term storage of genetic information; transmission of genetic information to make other cells

Nucleic acid Task 2: Each person on the earth has its own unique genetic information, when stretched out we see that it’s is organised and tightly packed whilst also allowing it access to appropriate genes. The genetic information is stored in the DNA which is a chemical structure which has two backbone which form a spiral around each other so that it is held in place also it has 4 bases which are adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine(1). There are also bridges across the bases which are hydrogen

When I started the Evolution class, I was a little skeptic about whether or not I would believe in the theory of evolution were to be true. I was raised in a Baptist home where we were taught the God created the Heavens and the Earth in the book of Genesis. In Genesis 1 states that in the beginning the earth was without form and was dark. God divided the light from the darkness and created night from day. Throughout all that I was taught, I always wonder if there was something there before the

proteins that led to the treatment of diarrhea in kids from a third world country. A transgenic animal as said before is an animal that has been genetically altered so that it will produce a specific protein. This happens by foreign DNA being inserted into the animals’ DNA which scientists use to study human diseases that the animals are not normally susceptible to. In the Transgenic article, there are two methods

polymerase from transcribing the gene, or promote transcription by exposing some of the single-stranded DNA to transcription-initiating enzymes. This action can be very useful as a gene therapy in patients who are producing too much, or not enough of a certain protein. Another prospect of this mysterious molecule is the creation of artificial life. All of the organisms on earth are based on DNA and RNA, so the idea of creating life with only PNA is very intriguing to scientists. The major problem
