Mutant

One of the main new technologies formed in regards to designer babies is called Crispr-Cas9, which is a new gene editing method, created in 2012. The way Crispr-Cas9 works is it uses enzymes which can cut specific genes, and can be used to cut mutant genes (Ball, 2017, para.8). Currently, trials are still being conducted to perfect this method. If this method is conducted however, the only thing left up for debate is whether or not it should be legalized (Loria, 2015, para.7). Reasons Why…

One day during World War II a scientist wanted help the cause. He called in a scrawny Jose Martinez. He put him in a very high-tech machine, he in was for a few minutes and when the machine turned off. The door open the fog ran down and out came a strong Jose. Now he works at a newspaper company in New York. No one knows his secret until a strong force rises and threatens the Earth. One warm spring day in New York a regular guy named Jose Martinez was walking to his normal job. At least that's…

themselves. Monsanto has created GMO crops that contain something known as Bt, which is a toxin incorporated into the crops with the intention of killing off insects. The usage of the Bt biopesticide within these GMO crops, however, has actually led to ‘mutant’ insect populations which are directly resistant to the biopesticide. Reports state that at least 8 insect populations have developed resistance, with 2 populations resistant to Bt sprays and at least 6 species resistant to Bt crops as a…

They seemed so natural on that completely human organism that he couldn’t understand why other men didn’t have them too.” What is shown here is how Marquez is putting humanity in perspective: If a being with wings appears so natural, are humans the mutants for not having wings? On a much more worldly level, Maquez is separating social groups as a way to accept other social groups. He is separating the groups of magical realists and humanity to show how we are different, and yet still the same on…

lose interest. Looking back and reflecting on that time I realize that my motivation for wanting to learn karate was because it was some thing fun and exciting. I used to like to watch kung-fu movies and my favorite cartoon as a kid was the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. These were things that I found fun, interesting, and entertaining, these are a few reason why kids and young adults participate in sports and other activities. Kids and young adults will identify with a sport or activity that…

Dr. Hudspeth grew up in the rural outskirts of Houston, Texas where he has said that his interest in science and nature flourished. He was a passionate collector of rocks, fossils, and shells along with a variety of animals. Hudspeth started his first research job at the age of 13 working with Dr. Peter Kellaway, who was a neurophysiologist at the Baylor College of Medicine. Dr. Hudspeth’s passion for hearing was sparked while pursuing a Ph.D at Harvard. He states that the his interest was…

Kwon-Chung in 1976 has mentioned that C. neoformans exists as two mating types, MATa and MATα which is determined by single locus with diomorphic alleles.(Halliday CL et al, 1999). The MAT locus of C. neoformans is larger and consists of 100 kb having more than 20 conserved genes. These mating types play an important role in sexual development changes. These also play a vital role in epidemiology by knowing the prevalence and virulence of the isolate (Lengeler KB et al, 2000). Based on the…

gene. This fact about the fru gene has allowed the author’s of this article to hypothesize that specific splicing of the fru P1 transcripts elicits male courtship behavior and sexual orientation. The article continues on to perform experiments (using mutant fru alleles) to determine if their hypothesis was correct. The results of the various experiments found that the researchers hypothesized correctly and that male courtship behavior requires specific ‘male mode’ splicing in the transcripts…

many cellular processes, p53 is prone to mutations and is mutated in 80–90% of NSCLCs and in 50% of SCLCs [Sekido et al., 2001]. Most missense mutations in the TP53 gene occur in the DNA-binding domain, abolishing its transactivation function because mutant p53 cannot activate p21WAF1/CIP1, the cell cycle can proceed unabated. It is Exon 5-8 which are very prone to mutations & codon 157 is commonly known as mutational hotspot in lung Cancers, besides that codon 248 & 273 mutations are hotspot…

Misinformation is poison to our society, some of the following myths can contribute to social issues and even the imprisonment of innocent people. The reason that this myth is particularly destructive is that it is now used in many forms of advertisements and media. The idea that humans aren 't operating at their brains full potential is detrimental. It is imperative to know how to separate fact from fiction is psychological science because tricks and schemes could waste your valuable time and…
