Should Scientists store the DNA of todays species to be brought back in the future, if the need ever arises? In this text I will be discussing whether or not ‘Scientists should store the DNA of todays species to be brought back in the future, if the need ever arises?’. As today humans are genetically altering many domestic animals which, if a mistake occurs and a staple food industry fails a great deal of jobs will be lost and any associative economies will collapse (Encyclopedia Britannica. 2016

also have hydrocarbons due to the vast number of hydrogen atoms and carbon atoms. Carbohydrates are made of polysaccharides which are made of disaccharides which are made of monosaccharaides. There are two major types of carbs, structural and energy storage. The two major structural carbohydrates are chitin and cellulose. Cellulose helps plants keep their shape and structure. Chitin is fund in crustaceans and

is one of the many Biology branches, that is currently helping in medicine and other areas related to science. One of the ways it is doing it, is by improvement and be able to sequencing DNA (genome). Bioinformatics can be described as a science tool in which use computer technology to analyze, collect, storage, and retrieval of genomic data. There are different methods to sequence the genome of an organism, store and evaluate the information obtained. Sanger and Next Generation Sequencing are the

chloroplasts, evolved through symbiotic relationships. Over the years, there have been many discoveries made to support this theory. The strongest evidence to date that has been found to support this theory is mitochondria and chloroplasts contain their own DNA. This could suggest that at one point in time, they lived on their own as prokaryotes. Furthermore, since mitochondria and chloroplasts both contain small amounts of genetic information, they must have been free living organisms at one point. In addition

molecular (smallest components of life) to the global (Earth) scale. Biology encompasses a large variety of life on earth. Uses of Biology in every day life: Molecular Biology – (Biology that deals with the smallest components of life such as cells, DNA, RNA) is used to solve crimes and reveal ancestry. Ecology- The scientific study of interactions among organisms and their environment is used to address environmental issues. Neuroscience- Field in biology that deals with brains; and Evolutionary

Genetic Engineering - Application in Agriculture Introduction The process of manually adding new DNA to an organism is called genetic engineering, and also being termed as recombinant DNA technology, which aims to add one or more new traits that are not found in that organism naturally (Nebraska, 2001). One of the examples of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is agriculture plants. GM foods are used to term the foods which are produces from or using GMOs. Why are GM foods produced? The main

Unit One: Biochemistry Organic chemistry: chemistry of carbon based molecules * Life on our planet is carbon based * All life is carbon based, so to understand how biological processes occur we need to consider organic chemistry Hydrocarbons: molecules that are entirely made from carbon and hydrogen * Carbon you can get a lot of shape (rings etc) * Mostly non-metals (hydrogen, carbon, oxygen etc) make up molecules in our cells * Hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen

determine features like eye colour, and the inheritance of disorders such as cystic fibrosis. DNA the nucleus controls the activities of a cell. The instructions for how an organism develops are found in the nuclei of its cells Chromosomes Chromosomes are structures found in the nucleus of most cells. They consist of long strands of a substance called deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA for short. A section of DNA that has the genetic code for making a particular protein is called a gene. The proteins
