Addition of the Plasmid vs the Expression of the Added Plasmid Introduction The earliest example of genetic engineering was performed by Gregor Mendel in 1865, when Mendel performed artificial selection on a population of pea plants in the monastery where he lived (http://www.sciencegroup.org.uk/ifgene/history.htm). Once the technological advancements of the 20th century was introduced to the science field, genetic engineering took on a whole new light. Scientist could now transform organisms in…
One of the greatest arguments in philosophy has been the debate on the degree of influence that nature has on the growth and development of human beings. By looking at the interactions of the environment and the human being that live within, one is able to examine the type relationship in place between nature and the creatures of the world. One would say that the environment’s role is that of a provider which includes its different facets of air, water and earth with humanity as the dependent…
Today, many rely on fossil fuels to help with daily necessities such as delivering electricity, powering vehicles, and heating their homes. Fossil fuels have been widely used since the Industrial Revolution. Since then, the use of fossil fuels has greatly grown. Fossil fuels are any naturally occurring carbon-containing material that, when burned with air to produce heat or energy that can be converted into liquid fuels and other hydrocarbon (carbon bonded to hydrogen) products (Speight, James).…
sustainable community are clean air, planting as money trees as possible, recycle, and to be free of pollution and contamination. There are a variety of ways we can preserve the world to be more sustainable. We have solar energy, geothermal, hydropower, biofuels, and nuclear fission. These natural resources and coal are essential and limited. We need to cherish what we have because eventually, we will run…
is a type of oil that comes from the fruit of palm trees. Many companies take advantage of the fact that palm oil is cheap to produce, by including it in many of their products. Palm oil can be found in a variety of everyday products, ranging from biofuels to instant noodles and cookies, to lipstick. Since it is found in so many products, palm oil is constantly in high…

Animal Agriculture: The Leading Cause of Climate Change Food by means of animal agriculture is – and probably always will be – an extension of our lives. Even before recorded time, humans have been raising livestock for means of survival and personal use and have only embraced this process as time progressed because it is our main source of food. We’ve adopted methods of artificial selection and gene manipulation to raise a more desirable superpopulation of livestock that environmental…
What is global Warming? Global Warming is the increase of Earth’s average surface temperature due to the effect of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels or deforestation, which trap heat that wouldn’t stay on the Earth otherwise. This is a really big issue for the planet because it’s said that by the time a baby born today is 80 years old, the world will be 6 and a half degrees warmer than it is now. Main causes of climate change (human) People are constantly adding…
Since most of the human body is made of water and by lowering the body below the freezing point of water will result in massive ice formation. Cryonic facilities can’t simply put patients into a vat of liquid nitrogen because their cells would freeze and simply shatter. Because of this reason, patients are protected from ice damage by using a mixture or agent (sort of a human antifreeze) to reduce, or even eliminate, ice formation. Conventional bypass technologies are used to circulate the…
