as “living” “together.” Constrantin Mereschkowsky, known as the founding father of the theory of endosymbiosis, was one of people who started the concept of endosymbiosis, although he had called it “symbiogenesis,” defining it as: “the origin of organisms through the combination and unification of two or many beings entering into symbiosis.” The Encyclopedia Britannica defines endosymbiosis as a theory in which modern organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts are descended from bacteria…

can something be before it can no longer be considered alive? Ever since the discovery of nano-sized particles called “nanobacteria” or “nanobes”, researchers have been scrambling to unravel and analyze the mysterious functions of these purported organisms. Their existence has raised many controversial questions, including whether or they are alive. Some experts claim nanobes are simply too small to be life forms, while others assert that nanobes are most certainly alive. Although the evidence…

What is Gene therapy? Gene therapy is the process of supplementing or replacing a gene in order to treat a medical condition. This type of therapy allows the body to make the protein that is not being made by the missing or malfunctioning gene. Introduction of new genes through vectors overrides the malfunctioning gene and contributes to normal functioning of the body. The process begins when the modified DNA is inserted into a virus vector. Then, the vector binds to the cell membrane. After the…

endangered species then we could stop the world from going into chaos. Endangered species have a huge impact on the world and if they go extinct it can mess up everything. “Endangered species does not just refer to wildlife but rather any living organism whether in the air, in the sea, within the ground or roaming about the earth” (ProQuest Staff). There has been a lot of animals and plants on the endangered species list but only some animals make the list. To make the list the U.S. Fish and…

internalize particles (>0.5um) whereas internalization of fluids through micropinocytosis mechanisms or solute into vesicles for size less than (<0.5) Phagocytosis is a ubiquitous process throughout nature. The behavior can be observed in unicellular organisms like amoeba using phagocytosis to obtain nutrients. Similarly, for vertebrates phagocytosis is an efficient method used by phagocytic cells such as macrophages, dendritic cells, and neutrophils to uptake, eliminate pathogens and…

Forensic science, known as forensics, is the application of science to law by analyzing DNA for legal evidence. DNA profiling is the predominant application and forensic science, DNA profiling allows us to take more than one sample of an unknown DNA specimen and determine if it has the same genetic match. Moreover, DNA profiling is to help determine and solve crime scenes such as murders, assaults, and rapes. The technique used for analyzing DNA is restriction fragment length polymorphism…

thousand years ago, and that all the humans, animals, plants of the world began at that time. This theory is called creationism, and their evidence is everything written in the Bible. However, scientists believe in the theory of evolution. They believe organisms change over time as a result allowing it to adapt to its environment better. This helps it survive and have more offspring, which leads to the development of humans from apes. Scientists has proven evolution by fossil, anatomical, and…

In 1972, American scientists Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen achieved the impossible; they inserted viral DNA into bacterial DNA. When this happened it was groundbreaking and soon led to the the ability for scientists to manipulate gene sequences in DNA. E. Coli was the bacteria that was first used to accept the plasmid known as pSC101 which was resistant to certain antibiotics (Genetics and Genomics Timeline). After repetition of this new process they decided to use the genes from the Xenopus…

The extinction of animals and living organisms is something most humans do not put into perspective, possibly until it’s almost too late. For example, humans don 't realise that their everyday lives are build around these creatures; what we eat, how we breathe, and how our world develops. I myself never thought about a world without whales, manta rays, tigers, plankton and owls and how important they are in my life until I came across the documentary Racing Extinction and the book Sustaining…

best of god’s creation and are powerful than any other living organism on this earth. Although out of that how much truth is really there? What makes us feel empowered to other living things when they are as much alive as any human is. Does this mean that we are seen as something different than any other living organisms such as an animal or is the human species animals? The definition of Animals is they are considered “a living organism that eats organic matter and typically have specialized…
