Gene knockout is when the BLG gene would be removed from the DNA and replaced with a non-functional version of the gene, meaning that the messenger RNA of the gene would not be produced. This could be dangerous for the cow as the messenger RNA of many different genes work together for different functions. If the mRNA of the BLG gene is taken out, the effect that it has on the expression of other genes is unknown. However, by using gene knockdown, the BLG gene still produces the messenger RNA (but

1970’s SQL- SQL was initially developed at IBM by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce in the early 1970s. This version, initially called SEQUEL (Structured English Query Language), was designed to manipulate and retrieve data stored in IBM's original quasi-relational database management system, System R, which a group at IBM San Jose Research Laboratory had developed during the 1970s. The acronym SEQUEL was later changed to SQL because "SEQUEL" was a trademark of the UK-based Hawker Siddeley

One single miss-step is all it took. The wooden platform beneath my feet glistened precariously. It was as if the morning’s dew had intentionally hid in the preserving shade of that cloudless afternoon. My unsuspecting sneaker slid with skate-like grace right off the edge of the wooden plank. I dove feet-first toward the approaching gravel. The impact was unforgiving as my ankles attempted to bare both gravity and my weight. Shocked and bewildered, I lost myself, staring at the blue skies above.

the other hand, adult stem cells are only able to transform into a select few types of tissue. (Bongso & Lee, 2005) In vitro fertilization involves the fertilization of an oocyte outside of the female reproductive system. Fertilization occurs in a Petri dish, after which time the embryo is reintroduced into a female uterus where it is allowed to implant and develop. (Seibel, 2008) Cloning is a scientific method of producing an offspring that is genetically identical to the parent. In cloning, only

INTRODUCTION The rapid expansion and increasing sophistication of the chemical industries in the past century and particularly over the last thirty years has meant that there has been an increasing amount and complexity of toxic waste effluents. Even though policies and environmental efforts should continue to be directed towards applying pressure to industry to reduce toxic waste production, biotechnology presents opportunities to detoxify industrial effluents. Bacteria can be altered to produce

Morgan Cloning in the Cattle and Sheep Industry Most farmers and ranchers use cloning as advancement in their program. Cloning can offer farmers advantages by the farmers selecting the animal that has passed down the most superior genetics and that has performed the best in everyday environmental settings. Also, it can give them advantages on selling high-quality meat and dairy products for the dairy cattle producers. Ranchers has the advantages by hand picking the highest quality in the

B1 Genes are found in our chromosomes,which parents pass on to offspring in their sex cells in reproduction. Different versions of the same gene are called alleles, and these can 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
