James Watson is one of many famous scientists who have impacted our world. With the help of Francis Crick, they discovered a life changing element which was DNA structure. Their discovery changed how we think today and our understanding of how our body works. James Watson, Molecular Biologist, Geneticist, and Zoologist, won a nobel prize with Francis Crick, a Molecular Biologist, Biophysicist, and Nutritionist. His Childhood James Watson was born in Chicago, Illinois on April 6th, 1928.…

College in 1938 where she studied chemistry. Upon graduating she worked with Jacques Mering who taught her X-ray diffraction which would later on play a role in her discovery of the DNA structure. In January 1951 Franklin began working under director John Randall at the King's College London in the biophysics unit, where she used her expertise in X-ray diffraction…

When it was 1951 she had returned to her to England as a research associate in John Randall’s laboratory at the Kings College in London, England. When she got there she had crossed paths with Maurice Wilkins. Her and Wilkins led separate different research groups and had separate projects, even though they both studied DNA. They…

Augustine Ugwu Professor Ileana Loubser ENGL 1301 November 18, 2014 Genetic Engineering Of Human Genetic engineering technology has been a very powerful and also a very hazardous tool. To modify the series of nucleotides of the most genetic material that rules for the organization of a complex living mortal, can cause and tremendously illness effects, however, the prospective benefits are really good. Arguably, the use of advanced technology has changed many numerous aspects of human everyday…

“How does the author of Gattaca use one or more of the following techniques to develop ideas: Symbolism, Juxtaposition and flashbacks.” Andrew Niccol’s ‘Gattaca’ presents us with a futuristic utopia where genetic enhancement is a normality and society now has discrimination down to a science. The film explores the life of Vincent Freeman, a degenerate who is denied the opportunity to achieve his dream of becoming an astronaut due to his inferior DNA. Vincent adopts the identity of renowned…

The Structure of DNA Somewhere in someone’s brain a curiosity is born that starts a wanting to find an answer. Not everybody gets these feelings to act upon their feelings of wanting to find out an answer, but for some people it does. An Austrian monk, Greg Mendel was a for-father of finding “basic patterns of inheritance.” He started doing his scientific experiments around 1854 in his gardens researching “the transmission of hereditary traits in plant hybrids” (Bio, a Biography of Gregor…

Gabriela A. Hernandez Mrs.Ayub IB Biology 29 October 2017 Falsification of the Davson-Danielli Model of the cell membrane Since the discovery of the cell, the scientific community has been fascinated by its various structures and functions. One of the most important structures being the cell membrane, which after being discovered in 1855, played a key role in research regarding cell membranes. After the discovery its discovery , many scientists put out data regarding the cell membrane…

Have you thought about how one chromosome in our genes can change the way we are today as we? Even though Knoepfler and Enriquez both have differing views of CRISPR and gene-editing using pathos, ethos, and logos, Knoepfler has a more suitable demeanor with him being in the field of science and having experience in his end which makes it more approachable and understandable. Paul Knoepfler talks about the ethical dilemma on designer babies while Juan Enriquez explains the reprogram of life and…

As if flying cars were the future in the past, we are now looking at the possibility of giving birth to children with the genetic codes that we have chosen. This gives us new goals for our future as well as a new direction for us to point our technology to. A world with designer babies would be very much different than our present one. With designer babies we open the possibility of having a chance at finding life outside of earth, advance in our technology, which would even introduce the…
