Zygote

murder. Even if the unborn baby is not fully developed in the womb, it does not mean that the fetus represents an incomplete human being. The earliest product of conception is called a zygote. Sheldon (2011), stated that the zygote has "no brain neither the heart, but it has the human soul." (p. 16). Since the zygote has a human soul, the unborn baby represents a complete human being. Every human life on earth deserves protection and must be favored from the time after conception to…

the cytoplasm” towards a fertilized egg (Smith 78). The next step includes injecting a nanoliter, one billionth of a liter, of the DNA solution into the fertilized egg, which distributes on average “two hundred DNA molecules” into the nucleus of the zygote (Smith 78). Finally, all of “microinjected eggs are implanted” into the fallopian tube of a foster mother where they could perhaps “develop into a viable individual” (Liu, et al. 217). In order for this technique to be executed efficiently,…

The position of potentiality is an argument held to defend the morality of a fetus. People who defend the argument of potentiality usually hold to the belief that the beginning of a moral life happens at conception. Potentiality is the argument that whatever abilities or characteristics and adult has, they have them by the development of what he already possessed from the outset. It is claimed that what one can become is a possibility based on what one is. Becoming is based first and…

Bronfenbrenner has to develop in ecological theory that has to know everything in its child development and growth. Mr. Bronfenbrenner has labeled four theories that he created. He has each child special genetic and has influenced personality traits that described the children sake. The level that Bronfenbrenner created is to tell people how it work together for the child’s safety. Organizations that Bronfenbrenner created has the encourage and nurture of the relationships that the parents have…

The beauty about life is that each and every multicellular living being on this planet was created by a sperm cell fertilizing an egg cell to form a zygote. Once the zygote is formed a processes knows as mitosis allows the zygote to develop cells, tissue, and organ systems until all of the proper systems necessary for survival are formed (Witz BW 2004). Conceiving a baby is one of the most beautiful things life could bring someone, and…

Life, it 's a beautiful thing the Lord has granted us with, but there are confusions about when exactly life begins. Is it when we are born? Is it at some point during our creation inside our mother? Or is it at the exact point of fertilization when the sperm meets the egg? These are questions that all humans struggle with. The question of when life begins also, in turn, begs the question of abortion. When a woman terminates a pregnancy, is she getting rid of just a mass of unwanted cells or is…

Stem cells are cells that have the capacity to develop into some or many different cell types in the body, depending on whether they are multipotent or pluripotent. Serving as a sort of repair system, they can theoretically divide without limit to restore other cells for as long as the person or animal is still alive. When a stem cell divides, each "daughter" cell has the potential to either remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell…

How are we created? We came from a small zygote with genes that make us who we are. Fascinated by the formation of life, I took AP biology in junior year. As a challenging subject, I had trouble understanding all the cycles and different molecules. I tried different study methods to help my understanding, like taking notes on my class notes, highlighting important concepts, and doing practice problems and tests, but the most useful strategy was the use of flashcards. Through labs, I was able…

The movie Blade Runner which is an adaptation of the book Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep are centrally revolved around idea and the definition of humanness in the context of modern technology. The irony present in both works is that through its technology, humanity has diminished its own capacity to survive, necessitating the invention and mass production of a new life form (the android) which is capable of challenging humanity. This situation gives rise to the central dilemma of both movie…

include: totipotency, pluripotency and multipotency (Pei, Xu, Zhuang, Tse, & Esteban, 2010). Figure 1: Developmental potential of stem cells. Totipotent cells are cells that have the potential to produce the whole organism, which, in essence, is the zygote. As the cells develop, the developmental potential decreases as specificity increases (pluripotent-multipotent-unipotent). With cellular reprogramming, developmental potential can be…
