shown that every cell that is alive in your body is the result of a split of some prior cell, so technically your body and its constituent cells have been “alive” for about 4 billion years. More specifically, the cells that constitute the potential DNA that could belong to you have been in existence

How genetic diversity comes about? Genetic diversity is a branch of Biology which refers to large number of different species that can be found on earth as well the diversity within a particular species. Also, genetic diversity is affected by several ongoing natural issues that are related to mutation, sexual reproduction, migration, and the size of the population. The first issues that related are mutation. What is mutation? Mutation defined “an organism that has characteristics resulting from

These cells have half of the genetic information from the original parental diploid cell (Pearson School 2011). Twenty-three chromosomes are present in each cell. Once the sperm and the egg meet, Meiosis begins. This process of splitting cells and DNA replication can result in genetic information to be transferred, deleted, or relocated on accident. Twenty-three chromosomes from the father and twenty-three chromosomes from the mother combined, resulting in forty-six chromosomes in each cell. A congenital

decades the science behind genetic engineering has advanced rapidly. Since scientists have gained the ability to map most of the human genome, they have begun to understand the different ways that deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) can be manipulated or altered. The manipulation and altering of DNA can be done by many different methods, but the goals of these methods are all the same; to manipulate the genetic material in order to change its hereditary traits or to produce biological products. Experiments have

Check Point / Nature-Nurture Nature versus nurture is an issue that has been hotly debated for many generations. Because my family life was so disconjointed I have often wondered on what side of the argument my own personality formed. The thought that the way I am is because of genetics has always been a concept I struggle to accept as I lean more on the nature side of the argument as I see my personality formed more by the happenings in

being reviewed in this paper was written by Paul Rincon and published on the BBC News website on December 4, 2013. The article presents advancement in the genetics field, telling about DNA that was found in the leg bone of a 400,000 year-old fossil. This is a huge development since scientists have not been able to find DNA in fossils older than 60,000 years (Rincon, 2013). The bone described in this article was found in Spain in an area referred to as the ‘Pit of Bones’(Rincon, 2013). This is a cave where

Mesa Police DR #20081610844 On 6-9-08 at 2227 hours, the Mesa Police Department was called to a death investigation at 11428 E. Queenborough Avenue in Mesa, AZ. The reporting party stated they had found the owner of the home deceased in the master bathroom of the home and it was unknown how long he had been there. Officers responded and found the victim, later identified as Travis Alexander, deceased lying naked in the shower. It was unknown how long Travis had been deceased, but his body
