Both infection can be spread through the baby during birth. Also, both chlamydia and gonorrhea might not show any outward visible symptoms. The procedure for testing for either infections is the same…

It is in two forms namely; asexual and sexual. Sexual reproduction is the most common, advanced and more…

INTRODUCTION Microbes are those microscopic organisms that can cause diseases in the human body. These microbes migrate with locomotive organelles called FLAGELLA, a very vigorous nanomotor that is highly conserved across bacterial species. Flagella allow the microbes to move towards favourable environments. Further studies on flagella has revealed that it not only serves the purpose of locomotion but also plays a very crucial role in bacterial pathogenicity(14). A flagella has mainly three…

So if genetic testing can be so beneficial, why is it ethically controversial?

Because of its nature, genetic testing leads to a whole host of potential problems including genetic discrimination, the use…
