conclusion that scientist have not yet proven a way to tell race nor racism by genetics. There have been many studies trying to show that race can be told by testing your blood or measuring the size of a human’s head but there’s no way that can be proven true. According to “Race as Biology is Fiction, Racism as a Social Problem is Real,” an article written by Audrey Smedley an American anthropologist and Brian D. Smedley, a medical researcher, "When geneticists appeared who emphasized the…

proven to upset the fibroblast growth. Kelly then goes on to explain an experiment performed to test the invasive properties of HOXB7. This particular study was conducted in 2006 by Yoriko Yamashita, an associate professor at the Graduate School of Medical Sciences, using SKOV-3, which over-expressed the gene. The results concluded that HOXB7 does indeed have a cancer cell invasion quality when mutated. By being able to pinpoint one of the genes leading to this particular cancer, scientists can…

Human cloning, the creation of a genetically identical copy or clone of a human. Cloning is nothing new to researchers, for the idea of cloning has been around since the 1880s. The very first cloning experiment was in 1885 on artificial embryo twinning with sea urchin. Although most people don't know is that there is so much more to cloning than creating a living being identical to the original. This paper will discuss about human cloning, the biological concepts and processes, biological,…

characteristics and mentalities that have been used to divide us. All the different ways we use to classify "the other." There are, of course, some biological differences between the different branches of the modern human. Some are tied to very real genetic markers, but most of them are just artificial human creations. The analysis of human differences can be divided into two principle divisions. Morphology is "a branch of biology dealing with the study of the form and structure of…

Women also may experience more severe symptoms during pregnancy and with their menstrual periods. Both of these observations have led some medical professionals to believe that the female hormone estrogen may play a role in causing SLE. Treatment for SLE No cure for SLE exists. The goal of treatment is to ease symptoms. Treatment can vary depending on how severe your symptoms are and which…

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…

FAMILY HISTORY Genetic found to assume a minor part in pathogenesis of cerebral infraction. 5. CONCLUSION AND DISCUSSION This study gives tentatively gathered information on both therapeutic and neurological difficulties in ischemic stroke companion. The hugeness of…

Cystic Fibrosis is an inherited disease of the secretory glands, glands that make up mucus and sweat. It is also known as mucoviscidosis, that affects mostly the lungs but also the pancreas, liver, kidneys and intestine. Long term issues include difficulty breathing and coughing up sputum as a result of frequent lung infections. A defect in the CFTR gene causes cystic fibrosis. This gene makes a protein that controls the movement of salt and water in and out of your body's cells. In people who…

A process that can turn a single copy of a gene into more than a billion copies in just house is calles the polymerase chain reaction(PCR). PCR allows medical researchers to make many copies of a gene whenever they want to genetically engineer something. The DNA structure for years has been relatively challenging to study. Ultimately DNA is very long and tiny. Luckily there has been many advancements in DNA technology that have made working with DNA much easier. Especially in the tools and…

1. James Watson and Francis Crick were credited for discovering the double helix structure of DNA molecule. James Watson is known to have received his degrees at the University of Chicago and his PHD at the University of India. He then met Francis Crick at the University of Cambridge where he later worked after receiving his PHD. Francis Crick during the World War II was some biophysics who held develop radar and magnetic mines then after the war he then began the structure of DNA research with…
