Gene therapy

Smaller sized prey would be able to find hiding spots, and would be more likely to survive and reproduce. The result would be that genes associated with small size would become more common in future generations. An example of this is an owl hunting for field mice. The large field mice would have a difficult time finding a hiding place; however, the small sized field mice could hide…

Rhetorical Analysis A paper that I have written called, “To Modify or not to Modify?: An Argument for Genetically Modified Crops”, presents an argument in support of GM crops. In order to investigate the quality of the paper, I will analyze my own writing. Here I will look back on my writing, and give an rhetorical analysis regarding the persuasiveness of my argument, as well as the effects of the argument on others. The main argument of the paper defended the safety of genetically modified…

Metamorphosis is a biological process by which an animal physically develops after birth or hatching, involving a conspicuous and relatively abrupt change in the animal's body structure through cell growth and differentiation. “Some insects, fishes, amphibians, mollusks, crustaceans, cnidarians, echinoderms and tunicates undergo metamorphosis, which is usually accompanied by a change of habitat or behavior”. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki). But this change has been incorporated to human’s life…

Plant proteases with excellent catalytical properties perform many functions in biological systems. Vallaris solanacea, a new plant protease has been identified and screened effectively for its caseinolytic activity. This protein activity was specifically inhibited by p-chloromercuribenzoate, which showed that it is a cysteine protease. Preliminary investigations such as effect of pH and temperature on the caseinolytic activity of crude protease were done. Stability towards temperature and pH…

Regeneration is the process of renewal or restoration of a body, part of the body or biological system after a wound or as a normal process. It is the process that makes the genomes, cells and organisms flexible to natural changes that cause disturbances or damage. All species are able to regenerate from bacteria to humans. Regeneration can be of two types: it can be complete when the new tissue is equal to the lost or incomplete tissue when the necrotic tissue presents fibrosis. Different…

1.2 Cellular DNA Damage responses, genomic instability. DNA is the blue print of life and all the information of life processes such as growth, metabolism, reproduction etc are encoded in the sequence of it. Therefore its very important to maintain the genomic integrity of this genetic material, not only to keep away defects in life processes but to pass a faithful information to the next progeny. Integrity of the DNA is usually challenged by both endogenous and exogenous agents who are capable…

a) Human reproductive cloning / Reproduction One of two reasons for human cloning is reproduction. It`s prime objective is to produce children for couples who are unable to conceive. There are 2 ways in which this is possible. The first is a transfer of an adult nucleus into ovum. This results in an identical person yet; the mitochondrial DNA differs. The second method is by splitting the embryo, similar to the natural process that occurs in twins. This process also results in an identical…

Life with technology. Almost 99.9% in the daily life technology took place, wherever we turn right or left it all been changed to current technology. The technology can’t be stop because it’s one kind of virus which is created by the humans. This upgraded make influence in the education line, where most of the schools around the world changed their education structure into the current technology. According to the chart of apple selling department, in the first month of the apple I-pads released,…

Discussion The aim of this study is to determine how plant growth is affected by Rhizobia bacteria and fertilizer. The histogram in figure 1 indicates that the change in biomass of pea plant species was higher under Rhizobia + fertilizer. Pea plant species comes from a legume family. According to Taiz and Zeiger (2010), these plant species enter into a symbiotic relationship with root-nodule bacteria, referred to as Rhizobia. Based on the results, the increase in biomass under rhizobia+…

Lipids are fatty acids and their derivatives, and substances related biosynthetically or functionally to these compounds. Lipids are diverse group of organic compounds including fats, oils, hormones, and certain components of membranes that are grouped together and mainly amphipathic. The variation in head groups and aliphatic chains allows the presence of more than 1000 different lipid species in any eukaryotic cell. Different types of lipid include Phospholipids, Sphingolipids and Cholesterol…
