T cell

Both texts, Gattaca and Never Let Me Go show an alternative future based on the advancement of genetics and the effect they have on society. By genetically cloning individuals for organ harvesting and the attempt to create a perfect society with "perfect humans" it is evident that what matters most is what you are, not who you are. A constant display of dehumanisation is shown through the relationship between those who have been somewhat dehumanised and those who have been brought up in an ideal…

‘Immortal Life’ in cells happened in the mid-1900s following the treatment of an African American woman named Henrietta Lacks. The cells taken from her cervix were the first of human cells to grow rapidly and reproduce many generations of cells in a culture in a laboratory. A magnificent medical miracle however has a deeper and darker side to it as explored in The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. It is a factual based account of the life of Henrietta Lacks and her HeLa cells.…

children’s personality traits. Science should be used to better a person’s life, not determine it. It is not a moral obligation of a parent to screen out “personality flaws” but it is a parent’s moral obligation if they want to cure their child of sickle cell disease and save the child from a painful and possibly shortened life. It is wrong for parents and scientists to play God, except in the instance it could save the child from suffering. Now that scientists have successfully modified human…

Hookworms are small and short worms. They live in the small intestines of man. They are called hookworms because each of them has hooks on its head around the mouth. The worm attaches itself to the inside wall of the intestine by these hooks. Hookworms feed on blood. They suck this from the wall of the intestine to which they are attached. There are often several hookworms at the same time in the child's tummy. All of them feed on the blood of the child. Therefore, one of the major effects of…

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS: The limiting factor of area is the size of the polystyrene cup used in the experiment. Each of the polystyrene cups was the exact size in order to be able to determine how different amounts of fertilizer affected the duckweed growth. Hence, the factor of size could not be investigated as each different amount of fertilizer was exposed to the exact same area. This can be linked to the literature review that discusses how the area where it is growing affects duckweed growth.…

Regeneration is the process of renewal or restoration of a body, part of the body or biological system after a wound or as a normal process. It is the process that makes the genomes, cells and organisms flexible to natural changes that cause disturbances or damage. All species are able to regenerate from bacteria to humans. Regeneration can be of two types: it can be complete when the new tissue is equal to the lost or incomplete tissue when the necrotic tissue presents fibrosis. Different…

severed nerves, cancer, diabetes, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's and many other through either treatment, cures, or transplants. The main process by which this takes place is taking embryo stem cells from human embryos that are then capable of forming any part of the human body. Once you take the stem cells though, the embryo is destroyed. For this reason, amongst others, this technique is also debatable. Some believe that the use of human embryos as objects damages our outlook on life because…

Life with technology. Almost 99.9% in the daily life technology took place, wherever we turn right or left it all been changed to current technology. The technology can’t be stop because it’s one kind of virus which is created by the humans. This upgraded make influence in the education line, where most of the schools around the world changed their education structure into the current technology. According to the chart of apple selling department, in the first month of the apple I-pads released,…

membranes that are grouped together and mainly amphipathic. The variation in head groups and aliphatic chains allows the presence of more than 1000 different lipid species in any eukaryotic cell. Different types of lipid include Phospholipids, Sphingolipids and Cholesterol. Lipid plays a role in many functions of the cell such as the signaling and the conversion of energy, membrane fluidity and compartmentalization of cellular organelles. The movement of lipids from their sites of synthesis to…

the embryo is exposed. With them being exposed that is when the diseases fall in place and start to attack the embryo. But on the other hand editing sperm, eggs, and embryos can cause inheritable diseases. It’s one thing to edit an adult’s immune cells. If anything goes, the effects won’t be passed on. It’s another matter entirely to edit sperm, eggs, or embryos (known as the “germline”) and create genetic changes that can be passed down from generation to generation. No longer talking about…
