humanity necessity and to resist the environment. Even though the greater part of the food that we consume is genetic modified (GMOs), still some foods that didn’t go through genetic modification (organic food). So a lab was designed with the objective to identify if the food consumed was GMO or organic. The 35s promoter is a common characteristic that only a genetic modify plant have in its genetic material. If the plant’s DNA is isolated and experience a series of polymerase chain reaction (PCR), it

A genetically modified organism is a plant, animal where the genes have been artificially changed using genetic engineering by adding in a new gene that doesn’t belong to change or improve the organism. The reason we modify organisms is essentially to combine different genes that don’t occur naturally. The discovery of GMOS has had significant impact positively and negatively on society benefits such as increased agricultural and risks such as the possibility of new diseases need to be considered

be able to withstand heat or less water. The effects it has on plants can make the plant more stable for farming and have a longer life. With genetic modification, the plant also went from 30% to

I. The idea of genetic information being open to the public has been a contentious topic because of the part of the public who see it as unfair and prejudiced. Despite this controversy, genetic information should be public to employers. One may argue that revealing genetic information may cause a company to be biased, but more than likely they are already biased. Several studies have shown that factors such as appearance, sex and race can play a part in whether or not you receive a job. All

13-years and was coordinated by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health. The potential benefits of the project are: It will provide Molecular Medicine which will improve diagnosis of disease, will have earlier detection of genetic predispositions to disease, and provide Gene therapy and control systems for drugs. It will use Energy and Environmental Applications which will use microbial genomics research to create new energy sources (biofuels) and develop environmental monitoring

Gene Therapy is a relatively new form of treatment, targeted at those who suffer from various debilitating Genetic disorders. It is an advanced type of medicine, and one that is still being trialled, so, at the moment, it is only being used as a last resort in the treatment of certain patients. The aim of Gene Therapy is to give people who have certain genetic malformations the opportunity to combat these, without having to submit to dangerous surgeries or strong drugs. This is a remarkable medical

they may live longer but no family history has been found to be connected to RTT. The rare male who has RTT will die before or shortly after birth; therefore this disorder cannot be hereditary. Add notes from last weeks lecture 2. Contrast the genetic cause of Rett syndrome as compared to schizophrenia. Explain your answer in general terms, address the relative involvement of genes and environment. RTT is caused by the lack of expression of MeCP2 and is sporadic. There is some evidence that

known to be the most common unit of genetic material in life on Earth; however, Genetic information is stored within the chemical structure of the DNA ,the two backbones, which form double helix , a chain of four chemicals which called bases , and they are running along the backbones , as well as base pairs which are Bridges between bases that located on opposite backbones , The four bases are indicated by the letters A, T, C and G, and their order form a genetic "code" , A,T,C,G can be called triads

pea plants and found that the offspring almost certainly expressed the "tall" feature. At the time, the scientific community was ignorant with genetic and DNA comprehension, but Mendel's work would prove to be a precursor to Darwin's evolutionary theory and eventually a foundation for all medical practice performed today. While our understanding of genetics is superb at best, new ideas and practices keep the medical field in constant progression. "Gene Editing Could Make Pig-to-Human Organ
