Genetic predisposition

Introduction Genetics is the process of inheritance of traits from parents to offspring, including the molecular structure and function of genes. Epigenetics is a new discipline in which the word “epi” means above that is epigenetics means above genetics or the control above genes. Aaron et al., defined “Epigenetics as a bridge between genotype and phenotype- a phenomenon that changes the final outcome of a locus or chromosome without changing the underlying DNA sequence” [1]. Epigenetic gene…

Dysarthria is a speech disorder caused by a stoke, cerebrum damage, tumors, or Parkinson's disease. Dysarthria damages movements in muscles used for speech production. These muscles incorporate the tongue, vocal folds, lips and diaphragm. Dysarthria is weakened in communication due to shortcoming, loss of motion and incoordination of speech. It influences your pitch, loudness, voice quality, prosody, respiration and articulation. There are numerous sorts of dysarthria's, which are…

elegans is very suitable for genetic study with its short life cycle, two sexes of both self-fertilizing hermaphrodites and males, and easy cultivation in the laboratory, which makes it easy for researcher to perform genetic crossing (BRENNER 1974). Second, although the adult hermaphrodite has only 959 somatic cells, it contains many different organs and tissues including muscle…

In the article “Growing Doubt: a Scientist’s Experience of GMOs” in the Independent Science News Food Health and Agriculture Bioscience News, Jonathan Latham, a plant biologist, expresses in his experience Genetically Modified Organism’s quick transition from the lab to the industry, the high risks of Genetically Modified Organism plants, and the dangerous toxins that are placed inside Genetically Modified Organism plants. Jonathan Latham explains, in the beginning of his research he worked in…

In Cystic Fibrosis, symptoms start slowly. The respiratory tract (nose to lungs) and the gastrointestinal (digestive) systems are the most affected. Symptoms usually start in the gastrointestinal system. Male fertility and sweat glands are also affected. Only about fifteen percent of babies who carry the disease have meconium ileus which is sticky and thick caused by thick mucus from intestinal glands. Vomiting and abdominal swelling are caused and surgery right after birth is needed usually. If…

scientific disciplines. In 1910, Thomas Morgan undoubtedly changed the science world by establishing the rules of genetic transmission. The fact that D. melanogaster has many homologs to humans make it an ideal model for drug screenings. About 75% of human disease causing genes are believed to have fly homologs. It posseses a small genome about 5% of that of a human, this also facilitates genetic studies. The study of development biology was hugely aided by imaginal discs that provided a great…

Not only that, but genetic engineering will shape a person’s life. Genetic engineering limits children’s autonomy to choose their own life decisions. “If parents are able to remake a child’s genetic makeup, they are in a sense writing the genetic instructions that shape his entire life” (D’Souza). Genetic engineering is “immoral” because it shapes a life for a person that they have not freely chosen. People without certain traits certain traits may not be able to get the job they want will be…

The central theme of Gattaca by Andrew Niccol is Injustice. People that are born in their moms wombs. People that are born in the labs have the best DNA because they are carefully selected by a professional. When these people go to their Jobs they have to do a test so they can prove they are valid or invalids. The lab make humans are way better than regular humans these days because there DNA is pick so they can adapt faster to their livings. They are also like immortals they are immune to…

The third reason why it is absolutely critical that parents conduct prenatal genetic testing on their child is because it can detect cancer in mothers. Although some people often argue that if you find out you or your child is carrying a diseases it can ruin your relationship with them. One cannot deny that your feeling may be different towards them. But it is still significantly important to get genetic testing done because it can save yours and the baby's life. For example, Danielle Bryant…

society to determine if a person is criminal or not if physique or any other anatomical trait correlates with it. Although science plays a crucial role in the criminal justice system to bring justice, however, utilizing biological factors such as genetics, hormones, or intellectual ability to determine one's future is dreadfully superstitious. In earlier history even Lombroso mentioned that crime is caused and not done by free will, this means any biological factors does not influence the crime…
