    The genes in our DNA are what decided what our phenotypes would be, or how we were going to look like. But I don’t think it is accurate to say DNA is responsible for our phenotypes, I believe everything that affects our DNA is what is responsible for our phenotype. Our DNA would be different if I had different parents or if environmental factors took place. Yes, once the DNA is set into place it cannot change (obviously). But before that moment so much can happen that the possibilities are…

    organisms made up of genetically engineered products created in scientific laboratories. Their compounds consist of matter ranging from animals, plants, bacterial, and genes that are not native to the conditions or environments in which they would reside in. Genetic modification allows scientists to abstract the genes of one gene and inject them into another organism. GMO crops are nothing new to many households. They are sold by the thousands, and are not required to be label as an unnatural…

    behind the evolutionary harm movement incorrectly assume that one gene correlates to one specific phenotype. Powell mentions, “in doing so, they succumb to the ‘gene-for’ fallacy or the idea that each gene codes for a single trait and (conversely) that each trait arises from the operation of a single gene” (207). The connection between genes and phenotypes rather extremely complex. Biological traits rely on interactions between various genes and additional variables both inside and outside of…

    • 9 Pages

    Methodology I have always had a fascination with homesteading. It began with my father’s stories of growing up on a homestead and his memories of the animals and the garden. His stories bloomed into reading autobiographies of homesteaders, such as The Good Life by Scott and Helen Nearing, and Hard Times in Paradise by David and Micki Colfax. These stories are what led me to live in rural Hawaii where many collect rain water, grow our own food, and have learned to be less consumer driven. While…

    is unlcear whether anyone else was attempting to patent those discoveries. His recent discovery of Sox4 and Sox11 activation of downstream genes provides new insight into the function and development of hair cells. However, this information just scratches the surface because the pathway could be enormously complicated with dozens of possible components that are interacting in some manner. Whether that be activating or repressing other downstream genes is currently unknown. The major questions…

    Despite early failures that dismissed gene therapy as a viable means to treat disease and genetic disorder, decades of research have resulted in the development of safe and effective vectors, methods of targeting particular types of cells, and techniques to minimize and manage immune responses. In the process, scientist now know more about the disease-causing genes themselves than ever before, paving the way for the development of successful gene therapy treatments. As of now, people have been…
