Thanks to modern medicine and scientific research, cloning is a reality and no longer science fiction. We may great advancements to Sam cell research as well, leading to cures for diseases. All of this is very different though from what Victor Frankenstein tried when he built the monster. I will first speak on cloning and all the details having to do with it. Clones are living beings that are correct hereditary duplicates. Each and every piece of their DNA is indistinguishable. Clones can…

usually caused by an error in cell division, called “nondisjunction.” Nondisjunction results in an embryo with not two but three copies of chromosome 21. As the embryo develops, the extra chromosome is duplicated in every cell of the baby's body. Mosaicism is the least common form of down syndrome and only accounts for 1% of cases of down syndrome. Mosaicism is diagnosed when there is a mixture of two types of cells, some with the usual 46 chromosomes and some with 47. The cells with 47…

Cloning organs is the future of healthcare Did you know that if we found a way to successfully clone organs, they could be used to replace sick or defect organs and not only improve the life quality of ill people but also make the average lifespan longer? Cloning is a very interesting topic and a lot of people have different opinions about it. Some people think it is unnatural and wrong while some think it is the future of both human and animal healthcare. Scientists have successfully cloned…

Nowadays you go online and you're able to customize your own clothing or shoes but what if I told you can do the same thing with you first child. After reading that sentence you’re probably thinking how is that even possible, did I read that right? It may seem absolutely mind blowing but it’s possible, scientists have found a way to genetically modify fetuses. However just because this process is possible doesn’t mean everyone is okay with it. In fact in most countries it’s illegal to go through…

The gathering of proteins inside a cell decides its wellbeing and capacity. Proteins are in charge of each undertaking of cell life, including cell shape and inward association, item making and waste cleanup, and routine upkeep. Proteins additionally get signals from outside the cell and prepare intracellular reaction. They are the workhorse macromolecules of the cell and are as assorted as the capacities they serve. Proteins can be huge or little, for the most part hydrophilic or for the most…

Human genome modification should not be allowed because it can cause many adverse effects and has a multitude of risks. Gang Bao, one of the authors of the article, Experts debate: Are we playing with fire when we edit human genes?,concurs that editing the human genome can give unexpected results. These results include severe disabilities, complications in later generations and death. Although there are options such as genetic counseling and in vitro fertilization available to couples that risk…

Transduction is the process of how foreign DNA is transferred into a gene cell. An example is the viral transfer of DNA from one bacterium to another. After the gene cell's are multiplied the viruses assemble and remove a portion of the host cell's bacterial DNA. Transduction is one of the most common tool used by molecular biologist to introduce a foreign gene into a new host cell's genome. "Specialized Transduction".thefreedictionary.com N.p., 2017. Web. 12 May 2017. While the new tool,…

pathway is a chain of proteins in the cell that relays an extracellular signal from the Ras protein to the DNA in the nucleus of the cell. This pathway consists of multiple phosphorylations as MAPKKK phosphorylates and activates MAPKK which then phosphorylates and activates MAPK. At the end of this cascade, MAPK phosphorylates various effector proteins (Alberts, 557). This signaling pathway plays an important role in cells as it results in complex changes in cell decisions and behaviors such…

Deoxyribonucleic Acid is the molecule within human cells that holds all our genetic material (Genetics Home Reference, 2017). DNA can be found in all cells of the body except red blood cells and can be collected from hair follicles, blood, skin, bodily fluids, bone marrow, tissues etc (GHR, 2017). In criminal cases, DNA is used as evidence to prove whether a person was connected with a crime. If a person’s DNA is found at a crime scene, they become a suspect in an investigation. The use of DNA…

is the cell theory significant (don’t just state the tenets, explain what it means and why it is a theory)? The cell theory is significant because of it’s three basic ideals or principles. The first is that all organisms are made from cells. This means that cells are the building blocks of life and technically, all of life is connected and related to each other by this tenet. In addition, by researching and examine one type of cell, the results can be assumed for all similar types of cell. The…
