Alterations made to correct deformities or to prevent the terrible diseases such as Tay-Sachs syndrome will improve the overall quality of the human gene pool. Today, gene alteration is still in its early stages, which means it is mainly used in experimental research. With its vast job field and impressive…

Diseases that overwhelmed ancient organisms are brought to our knowledge and expand our understanding of their position…

genetic disorder.” Because our knowledge is still limited, it’s not yet possible to test for every possible defect. Often, genetic screening is used to look for specific genes or proteins that indicate a particular disorder. Also helps with finding diseases like Breast Cancer and…

Throughout the past 2 months I have been working on a project in which I breed flies. The traits of the flies I had been assigned were winged female and apterus male. To begin the project I started out with winged females to breed at least 8 virgin to then cross them with the apterus male. Apterus means to not have wings.
