Describe trisomy 21. Trisomy 21 is a genetic disorder commonly known as Down syndrome. It is caused by the presence of all or part of an extra 21st chromosome. IT is the most common chromosomal abnormality associated with intellectual disability. One in 730 live births results in trisomy 21. It is seen in all ages, races and socioeconomic levels, but a higher incidence is found with a maternal age older than 35 years. This is associated with the fact that 90% of cases with an extra chromosome…

This all seems to be wonderful ideas, and the reason why people would want to pass this Therapeutic cloning process, but this may sound shocking to some who haven’t done theirthere research on Therapeutic cloning. Medical researchers have found that cells that have been cloned wind up developing very serious defects…

A new and highly talked about topic is stem cell research. Stem cell research is an extraordinary, yet very controversial subject. Stem cells are a very large focus in today’s study of biomedical research. Stem cell research is beneficial because the research that is done can help cure diseases and regenerate cells that will be able to give humans, and their body’s, another chance at being healthy. Stem cells are defined as, “Undifferentiated cells of a multicellular organism that are…

the loss of this amino acid. The mutant CFTR leads to the disease as the incorrect protein folding is detected in the endoplasmic reticulum which leads the protein to be degraded and thus never reaches the cell membrane whereas with a normal CFTR protein, the protein actually reaches the cell membrane and is integrated into it. CFTR works as a channel that exports chloride ions across the membrane; this is the function that is affected when the gene is mutated.…

In the article “Eggs for sale” by M. A. Garcia, the author goes into detail about her journey on aspirating her eggs. She reveals that in the beginning her main focus was on the financial compensation she would receive. Garcia later learned that she would be giving a couple something no one else could. She gave them the gift of life, she allowed them to become parents. Egg donation is an exceedingly controversial topic, many believe that it is unethical to remove the eggs of one female and…

growth. To sum up the process of therapeutic cloning; it involves the removal of a nucleus in a cell,…

Introduction Tafazzin, encoded by the nuclear gene TAZ is primarily found in the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it plays an important role in cardiolipin (CL) remodeling (Xu et al. 2006). Tafazzin shares amino acid sequence homology to acyl transferases (Vreken et al. 2000). TAZ is located on chromosome Xq28 and comprises 11 exons and 2 alternative translation initiation sites (Johnston et al. 1997). Among four major transcripts: TAZ-FL (full-length), TAZ-Δ5 (lacking exon 5), TAZ- Δ7…

sequenced, and what unknown functions of the gene are. Researchers analyze the differences between the knockout individuals and normal individuals. Knockouts are accomplished by using a combination of techniques. Single cells are genetically manipulated with the knockout and fused with a stem cell from a new developing embryo. The knockout is engineered to recombine with the target gene, which is done by incorporating sequences from the target gene itself into the knockout. Recombination occurs…

Protein work “the collection of proteins within a cell determines its health and function Proteins are responsible for nearly every task of cellular life, including cell shape and inner organization, product manufacture and waste cleanup, and routine maintenance. Proteins also receive signals from outside the cell and mobilize intracellular response. They are the workhorse macromolecules of the cell and are as diverse as the functions they serve. Proteins can be big or small, mostly…

What do you believe is the future for cloning? Cloning is something that can be influenced by the maker so it could go their way depending on how you want to use it. There are two type of cloning, Reproductive cloning and Therapeutic cloning these two are very different. Reproductive cloning is when you need a surrogate mother and Therapeutic cloning is when you remove the nucleus from an egg and replacing that with DNA from another organism. Therapeutic is the most secure way to go since…
