foolish ambition to alter what it means to be human all possible through genetic engineering if the science goes that far. If the first part of that sentence seems familiar, it is because it strikes many of the same chords of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein when Frankenstein created the monster in his lab. Technology, no matter if it can be used for good, can become monstrous if the technology goes down morally questionable roads. Genetic engineering can alter the genes of humans to cure them of…
Tung Bui Putman Hour 1, 6 15 November 2016 Argument Paper What is ethic? Ethic refers to standards of right or wrong that a person ought to do. Ethic also refers to the development of one's ethical standard( feelings, laws, social). The story "flower of Algernon" is about a man that had the IQ of 68 named Charlie. Despite of his lacking of intelligences, Charlie's doctors and his teacher, Miss.Kinnian, convinced him to take a operation to get smarter. Charlie Gordon's doctors didn't act ethical…
Is the way people are born like the Genetics of a child. Studies show that twins can look alike and others may be twins but not look alike at all and one twin can be mental and the other may have a 50% chance of developing conditions like bipolar and major depression. Example: Twins sisters that laugh and look the same because they are twins. But raised in different towns and aren't the same height. They can also read eachothers minds and Nature is the way you may act and like nurture is on…
Siamese twins are also known as conjoined twins. This is when a mother gives birth to two babies and some part of their bodies are connected together. There really aren't any signs or symptoms that can show that a women would be carrying conjoined twins. You could classify them depending on where they are connected at. There are many different places you could be conjoined at like, Base of the spine, joined at the chest, also they could be joined at the head. One twin could be smaller than…
BIRTH DEFECTS (AMELIA) Q: What is it? A: To start off with, Amelia (from Greek ἀ- "lack of" plus μέλος (plural: μέλεα or μέλη) "limb") is the birth defect of missing a limb or more. It can also be a form of some sort of shrunken limb. There are other names for this disease if there are one, two, three, or more limbs missing. For an example tetra-Amelia is the missing of all four limbs. Q: What could the cause of this be? A: The absence of an arm or leg in Amelia happens as a result of the…
What do Channing Tatum, Dwain Johnson and Will Smith have in common? They like many other famous actors have...baldness. Men are usually known for their shining dome which stand for their intelligence and maturity but no matter how posh and formal they look they still desire their luxuriant hair. Scientists have long wondered why men lose their hair and how it can be restored. Did you know there are approximately 100,000-150,000 pieces of hair growing out of your scalp. Scientists have…
Charles Darwin, in On the Origin of Species, explains his theory of natural selection and its power to shape the evolution of species with help from the example of how species are shaped through domestication, or rather, artificial selection. With the example of domestication, however, there is a potential obstacle as to the validity his theory. Fleeming Jenkin presents this obstacle by saying Darwin’s theory “rests on the assumption that natural selection can do slowly what man’s selection does…
Case study of X-ray imaging with grating interferometer on pearls Abstract- With the increase of fraudulent conduct in the field of jewellery there has been increase in the demand for inspection to identify the purity of the product. In this case study X-Ray Radiography is used to identify natural pearls and artificially cultured pearls. In order to understand the internal structure a personalized grating interferometer and inspection has been performed to obtain measurements. The computed…
Aspergillus nidulans: One of the lesser known pathogen of the aspergilli group, A. nidulans is a model filamentous fungus widely used for studying eukaryotic cell biology (Galagan et al., 2005). A. nidulans possesses a phospholipid-hydrolyzing novel cPLA2 protein, PlaA, which shows maximum similarity to mammalian-type cPLA2 proteins (α, β, γ) (Hong et al., 2005). Like the three isoforms of human cPLA2 proteins, A. nidulans PlaA also consists of two separate catalytic domainsA and B, and…
Prokaryote DNA replication is a semi conservative, bidirectional, template driven process. The phrase ‘semi-conservative’ refers to the fact that the newly synthesised double stranded DNA is made up of one parental (existing) strand, and one newly synthesised strand. The parental duplex is not ‘conserved’ as an entity. This was proved by the Meselson-Stahl experiment by replicating E.Coli in different mediums of of different Nitrogen isotopes. The results consisted of half of normal weight and…
