Before we begin to discuss the issues related to genetic diversity, we have to know exactly what genetic diversity is all about. It is a " term used to describe genetic differences among members of a population", according to Concepts in Biology 12th Edition written by Eldon Enger. There are several topics we can discuss when speaking about genetic diversity such as mutation, sexual reproduction, migration and population size. Let's start with Mutation. Mutation brought recent information

Advantage of cloning 1. Human cloning * Heart attack Treatment Dr. Richard Seed, one of the leading proponents of human cloning technology, suggests that it may someday be possible to reverse the aging process because of what we learn from cloning. Human cloning technology could be used to reverse heart attacks. Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack victims by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged

years are considered the middle childhood period. During these two periods there are four kinds of themes: sources of development, plasticity, continuity/discontinuity and individual differences. The sources of development are genetic, social, or cultured development. Genetic known as nature vs. nurture the plasticity is how much the development can be changed or manipulated, Human development during this time has same part continues and same part expect going the sages. Even during expected stages

Mendel -An Austrian monk who gained posthumous fame as the founder of the new science of genetics. Genetics -The branch of biology that deals with heredity, especially the mechanisms of hereditary transmission and the variation of inherited characteristics among similar or related organisms. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule that encodes the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms and many viruses

The two rooms that I feel has the most bacteria is the kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen is the catch all place in my home. We have an island that our cell phones, purses and keys are placed on it along with mail. If you think of everywhere our cell phones and my purse had been during that day those bacteria and nasty stuff is being place on that counter top. Then I prepare dinner on that same island after clearing it off. When most of the time I do not wipe it down but will now base on what

body needs, especially proteins (Kugler, 2014). Our genes are passed down to us from our parents, having two copies of each gene. Those genes are found in the different strands in our DNA, which is what makes everyone’s DNA is unique. Behavioral genetics examine the role that our genes play in our behavior. The impact of heredity (nature) is the physical looks and characteristics passed down (inherited) from our biological parents. Heredity includes someone’s height, skin color and health conditions

reasons:- 1. They are easy to grow in large fermenters where output can be controlled to meet demand. 2. They can be sustained on a wide range of readily available and easily prepared nutrients 3. They can be genetically manipulated ( genetic engineering) to produce enzymes with enhanced qualities. Genetically engineered microorganisms can also

challenge to scientist now will be to read the contents of the manual’s content, understand how the parts correlate, discover the genetic basis for health and the pathology of diseases that plague human beings. Genome based research, will eventually enable researchers to develop efficient diagnostic tools, to understand the health needs of individuals, based on their genetic makeup and help in designing effective treatments for diseases. Personalized analysis based on individual genome, may lead to

Hook Introduction to Alzheimer What is Alzheimer? Who have an Alzheimer? There are two main types of Alzheimer namely, early-onset Alzheimer and late-onset Alzheimer. Early-onset Alzheimer What is it? Who have it? What are the factors that influence this types of disease? What are the symptoms, signs of this disease? How can a doctor treat this disease? Late-onset Alzheimer In United Kingdom, 800000 people have a dementia, and the most common dementia

Transformation Purpose Horizontal gene transfer refers to the transfer of genes from one organism to another through a method other than reproduction. Genetic transformation, a form of horizontal gene transfer, involves the altering of a cell through the uptake of naked DNA. Naked DNA refers to DNA which has been released from lysed or disrupted cells and is taken up by a recipient cell. If a cell is able to take up naked DNA, they are referred to as competent. This finding is accredited to Frederick
