DNA molecule, some interesting facts about DNA, and what a gene is will be addressed in this document. Many people wonder what make each person special. Well, that question is answered with the definition of a DNA molecule. In the nucleus of each cell are instructions that tell information essential to survival. These instructions are in the form of something important to every human: a DNA molecule. DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid. This molecule is present in almost all living beings. DNA…

In overall the world is evolving to become a better world. Technology has advanced so much. For example without technology the world would have never been able to begin cloning. Clones are genetic copies of an animal. The cloning process is a very complicating and expensive procedure with little outcome. The outcome of having a high quality meat is only 20 percent. The other 80 percent involves infertility and even the death of off springs. Many people around the world do not believe in the…

microorganisms are cells that are undifferentiated which imply that they don't have a particular employment or even capacity. While skin cells secure our body, muscle cells contract and nerve cells send signals. Undifferentiated cells don't have a particular structure or capacity henceforth they can possibly turn into an assortment of cells in the body, similar to the ones recorded over, a liver cell, a bone cell, pluripotent foundational microorganism, platelet, and fat cell. The body utilizes…

male genes, it copied the infinitely healthier version from the female gene to replace the spot cut out. Having inserted a DNA template into the embryo, the researchers were expecting it to copy that sequence, which is what occurs with other body cells during gene editing, but were surprised to find that it did not. About 10,000 medical conditions are linked to specific mutations, and if we were to potentially be able to remove these mutations from someone's genes the children they would have…

clone by the processes of artificial twinning and somatic cell nuclear transfer. While organisms such as hydras and coral use budding which is when a new organism grows off the body of the parent organism naturally until the new organism falls off and begins to fend for itself. The earliest form of artificial cloning began in 1885 with sea urchins. The cloning of the sea urchins was both a clone and a refutation of a current theory of cell biology. Scientists posited that the first combination…

Animal Cloning As new technology is developed, cloning becomes a higher discussed topic. Cloning is the process of producing similar populations of genetically identical individuals. Cloning has been seen a as a recent discovery but cloning has been happening in nature since the beginning of time. Common animals that clone naturally are starfish, bacteria, and even some plants. But cloning becomes a controversial topic when humans artificially make clones of animals that normally reproduce…

humans yet, but they are getting closer to cloning humans year after year. Scientists have already cloned human stem cells in 2013 by Shoukhrat Mitalipov and his team at Oregon National Primate Research Center. From a technical perspective, cloning humans and other primates is more difficult than in other mammals. It is more challenging because the cells require proteins essential to cell division. Also, multiple copies of an ancestor’s genes might bring several surprises. When critics say human…

Embryonic Stem Cell Research (ESCR), therapeutic, and reproductive which both fall under Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT). Embryonic stem cells are stem cells derived from the identical inner mass cells of a human embryo. The researching…

Throughout the semester in the microbiology lab we have been taught how to conduct multiple experiments to identify microorganisms. Many of these experiments can be used on all different types of microorganisms but cumulatively they can help isolate a singular microorganism’s identity. At the beginning of the semester we were divided into several groups and were assigned an unknown of which we were tasked with identifying. Being assigned number 14 as our unknown, my group consisting of…

The role of circadian rhythms and clock genes in cutaneous wound healing Introduction The governing of rhythmic changes involved in daily behaviour and/or physiology is controlled by light/dark cycles. The field of Chronobiology encompasses biological timings (hormone secretion, blood pressure, reproductive cycles, body temperature, sleep, locomotor activity). Circadian rhythms have been discovered to play a major role in the mental, physical and behavioural changes, which follow a 24 hour…
