Essays On Genetics

This report offers a comprehensive overview of the main theories on the aging process. As there is no universally accepted theory, these discussed theories serve as potential explanations for aging, with each hypothesis holding approximately equal likelihood. The focus of the explored theories ranges from DNA mutations and replication at the molecular level to wear […]

Science is a creature that continues to evolve at a much higher rate than the beings that gave it birth. The transformation time from tree-shrew, to ape, to human far exceeds the time from an analytical engine, to a calculator, to a computer. However, science, in the past, has always remained distant. It has allowed […]

There are many differences in the composition and storage of genetic material in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Chromosomes in prokaryotes consist of a single nucleic acid molecule which can be either DNA or RNA. There is comparatively little genetic material for example E. coli genome is 1200 micrometres while a single human chromosome is between 12000 […]

Arabidopsis thaliana is found in the mustard family and is a weed used as a model organism to aid in research. Over the years, research has taken off due to this and other model organisms for many reasons. A short generation time is ideal so that experiments can be conducted in a timely manner. Arabidopsis […]

Most people have heard of DNA. If not on the current, popular television shows like CSI, then most likely on the plethora of shows that display crime cases that are real. Nowadays, DNA analysis is considered the paramount method in determining biological relationship as well as a key component in solving crimes. Because everyone’s DNA […]

Enzymes are protein, they are used to catalyse metabolisms in all organisms. They break down complex molecules and build up complex molecules from simple molecules, these two processes are catabolic reaction and anabolic reaction respectively. Enzymes are needed in these two processes to catalyse releasing and taking up ATP molecules. Different sequence of amino acid […]

The history of forensic science can date back as early as the 19th century if not earlier. Gregor Mendal who is known as the father of genetics, proved that characteristics are passed from one generation to the next. He did a study over 8 years growing sea plants and he noticed there were characteristics passed […]

Introduction Bt Brinjal is a genetically modified form of brinjal that involves inserting […]

Introduction Transformation is the transfers of virulence from one cell to another, through the transferring of genetic material. It was originally postulated in 1928 through the works of Federick Griffith, a British microbiologist. Griffith observed that the mutant form, non-virulent form, of the bacteria Streptococcus Pnumoniae could be transformed into the normal, virulent form, when […]

Learning about Cells. First thing to show you are two beautiful pictures of a Cell. Imagine all of this is in something so small we cannot see it with our naked eyes. About 10,000 average-sized human cells can fit on the head of a pin. There are a few exceptions, but the average cell is […]

Analysis- Genetic Modification (pig. 519) Angela Miracles-Lyons Every parent wants their child to be healthy. Though this is not always the case, the science behind genetic modification can improve the odds of that child being born healthy, as well as decrease the odds of the child developing diseases later in life. The image depicting an […]

I Help build the future of Wikipedia and its sister projects! Read a letter from Jimmy Wales and Michael Snow. I [Hide] [Help us with translations! ] I DNA vaccine What is antisense technology? Antisense refers to opposing the normal order (“sense”) of the code in DNA. The DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) in genes directs cells […]

Developmental Biology is the study of a procedure whereby a single-cell segregates and selectively triggers expression of genes to generate compound organisms made of various cell groups. There are three major forms of substantiation that are acknowledged in all of experimental natural sciences when trying to understand a gene’s purpose (Gilbert, 2006). The first one […]

The virus introduces reverse transcriptase protein into the cell, which transforms RNA into DNA. This generates genetic information that the host cell can utilize to replicate the RNA virus in DNA format. Essentially, a virus consists of a protein capsule enclosing nucleic acid, which can be either DNA or RNA (with DNA being our genetic […]

Genetic Engineering, history and futureAltering the Face of Science Science is a creature that continues to evolve at a much higher rate than the beings that gave it birth. The transformation time from tree-shrew, to ape, to human far exceeds the time from analytical engine, to calculator, to computer. But science, in the past, has […]

The Perfect World. Imagine a world full of Lebanon James, Adrian Gonzales, Beyond, and Brad Plat, which was developed by the parents that chose to transmit featured genes into their fertilized eggs through IF (in vitro fertilization clinic and these so-called genetic engineers are able to mutate both internal and external physical traits exactly the […]

Sheep and goats were domesticated in the Fertile Crescent around 8,000 BC. Pigs were first domesticated in China around 7,000 BC. Yaks were tamed in Tibet about 5,000 BC, and horses were domesticated in Eastern Europe around 4,000 BC. The rock pigeon was the first domesticated bird found in Greece, Egypt, and Mesopotamia by 3,000 […]

Fecal transplantation, also known as bacteriotherapy, involves transferring stool from a healthy donor to the gastrointestinal tract of an ill recipient. The purpose is to treat C. difficile colitis by restoring bacterial balance in the digestive area after antibiotics have eliminated important bacteria. Fecal transplantation serves as a therapeutic intervention for recurrent C. When encountering […]

Practice Questions for FALL FINAL Biology KEY Note: These are a few sample questions that you can work through for more practice with genetics and experimental design. You should also review the evolution and experimental design quizzes and exams. These questions do NOT cover all of the material covered this semester. Completion of these questions […]

By utilizing our knowledge of the genetic code, transcription, and translation, we can elucidate the mechanism through which a mutation can cause a single gene disorder. In this discussion, we will offer an illustration of such a disorder. This will encompass information concerning the gene that is affected, its influence on the final product generated, […]

Monsanto Case Study Monsanto is a multinational world leader in the production of the herbicide glyphosate and in the manipulation of genetically modified (GM) seeds. They were a chemical company, which shifted into the new life science area developing numerous patents related to genetic techniques and GM seeds variety. The company entered in the agrobiochemical […]

ABSTRACT The microevolution of Alu element TPA-25 was tested in the experiment through the examination, observation, and analysis of population alleles distribution under the Hardy-Weinberg Theory of Genetic Equilibrium. Alu elements affect the genome by causing insertion mutations, recombination between elements, gene conversion, and alterations in gene expression. In the lab PCR was used to […]
