    The Genetics of Violence Introduction We‚ in the 1990 ’s‚ are slowly and inevitably being faced with the sociological and biological implications of impending genetic power. This power is analytical‚ in such cases as the Human Genome Project‚ which will hopefully succeed in mapping out the genetic code for the entire human genetic composition. Moreover‚ this power is preventative and participatory in that it can be‚ and is being‚ used to control the behavior of humans and other animals. This new

    of person that comes from genetics or alleles‚ these traits are inherent and range from eye color to genetic disorders. Some genes are dominant and some are recessive. Dominant genes are more influential than recessive ones and can be observed in the characteristics of a person. Recessive genes can be passed from parent to child undetected making those with the recessive genes carriers. Nature can also be considered how a person’s moral values are developed through genetics. Nurture comes from a variety

    Genetic modification means changing the genes in a living cell. There are two types of genetic modification: non-inheritable genetic modification and inheritable genetic modification. Non-inheritable genetic modification changes the genes in cells other than egg or sperm cells. If a lung disease is caused by defective lung cell genes‚ it might be possible to treat the disease by modifying the genes in those lung cells. Such changes are not passed to future children. Applications of this sort are

    Chromosome is in the nucleus of every cell. Each chromosome is mostly made up of coiled DNA. Besides DNA‚ there are also proteins in each Chromosome. The interesting point is that in Chromosome‚ DNA tightly coiled a lot of times around proteins and it supports the basic structure of chromosome. The way that Chromosome forms motivates me to think of how DNA and proteins in the Chromosome relate to each other both in the aspect of location and the aspect of biology function. For the second question
