Cloning Background information: Cloning is a process where the DNA is replicated. It is done by having the DNA of an organism, human or animal, is put into an egg whose DNA is removed and when the egg is stimulated, the egg starts to duplicate. The results would be DNA is which genetically similar to the original organism. Cloning can also be applied to cells. The first mammal that was cloned successfully from an adult cell was the sheep named Dolly in the year 1996 by Scottish scientists in the…

Consequences of biodiversity loss Biodiversity is a phenomenon that all life on earth depends on. It is the link between all life on earth. In other words the web of life. There is a perfect interdependent system in place that allows every organism on earth what it needs needed to survive and the relationship between all is beneficial to all others, except in most cases humans. We have more of a symbiotic relationship with the earth and everything else on it where we could be seen as kind of…

Observation of plant and animal cells through a light microscope. A cell is the most basic structure of any living organism and is capable of independently reproducing. Cells can be grouped into two categories, prokaryotic and eukaryotic. In a eukaryotic cell there are small organelles that carry out specific functions which can be compared to the organs in the human body. Some of these organelles include the nucleus, which holds the cells DNA, mitochondria, which produce ATP from glucose and…

This article targets the increased interest of how microbial communities and the environment affect one another through impacting the evolutionary features of the organisms they interact with. Shifts within the environment can consist of predictable and unpredictable changes. Predictable changes are consistent shifts in the surrounding environment that occur daily or seasonally. Animals and plants developed the use of external cues that regulate this when predictable changes in their environment…

Hughes says, “Does it dry up”, (Hughes 2) which creates the image of a dream being a living organism or the beholders themselves. The first idea that comes to mind would be that the organisms lose their moisture or water and become small and withered representing the life of the dream being drained. This line makes the reader think of deserts and summer and heat. This also creates the idea…

interesting concept that alters gene expression as they live. This new concept, called epigenetics, is what makes even identical twins, genetically different. Epigenetics is the study of changes in gene expression, without changing the DNA of the organism.…

Nature establishes limits on humans as living organism; such as death, every living organism will come to and end. Society establishes limits through laws; impose by the people on power. Making the human kind free only of freedom, as Rousseau said “there is no subjection so perfect as that which keeps the appearance of…

Animal Testing There has been a long debate on whether animal should be used as a main source of testing Animals have been experimented and tested on for centuries. People came up with the idea that if they were unsure how a substance or compound would react on them, they started to use the same chemical on animal to see the results. They would then compare the results with the humans once they were used as test subjects. Animals have proven to be a source for testing since they have similar…

1953 and the cracking of the genetic code in 1966. Denise Caruso of the Hybrid Vigor Institute in a 2008 essay stated that synthetic biology ‘bioengineers’ use biobricks “an inventory of parts…” can be used to “assemble and programmed to compel organisms to operate in specific ways” or create “custom chemicals that can later be ‘harvested’ from cells and sold” (1). A very compelling statement for an opening of the paper, but most people will generally focus on the last five words of that…

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Since time immemorial microorganisms have played a significant role in the life of mankind owing to the production of the myriad enzymes and secondary compounds that they synthesize (Demain 1981). These micro organism live in a highly diverse environment ranging from hot springs to deep ocean sediments. In the hyper diverse environment where one can find a specialized and unique biological niche is the intracellular space between cells of higher plants acts as suite and…
