Genetic Disorders: Schizophrenia April 18‚2011 Background Genetic Disorders occur when there is a change or mutation in the information contained in the genes. When cells get older or they have been exposed to something harmful disorders can occur. Genetic disorders can be caused by a mutation in one gene called monogenic disorder‚ by mutations in multiple genes called multifactorial inheritance disorder‚ by a combination of gene mutations and environmental factors‚ or by damage to chromosomes

SCI 160.2.2 Faculty: Nadia Blake Assignment 4_04 Factors in Genetic Diversity Genetic diversity is a critical factor in organic science. The higher the genetic diversity the more alleles are presented to a group according to Eldon Enger (2007). These alleles have a profound effect on many aspects of organic development. Genetic diversity effects mutations‚ sexual reproduction‚ migration‚ and even population size. Mutations cause new occurrences to happen in a population. Enger states that these

beginning of the event and development of obvious tumor‚ some mutated cells die while others reproduce. The tumor at this point continues to grow and reproduce. Breasts tissue is very vascular and very close located to lymph nodes. Cells break off from the original tumor and travel through the lymphatic system and blood stream‚ to the other organs where they produce secondary tumors. Chapter 14: 3.

Ethics of Genetic Engineering If you could know that you had a high risk for developing cancer‚ would you? In the last four and a half decades‚ the science of genetic engineering has opened new possibilities and new questions. While the field originated as a study of bacteria‚ it has advanced an incredible amount since 1973 and developed a multitude of branches. Genetic engineering is essentially the concept of cloning or manipulating an organism’s genetic sequence for a specific purpose. This

Marshaee’ Knowles Prenatal Genetic Testing Many medical advances are being made today in the area of genetics. One of the most talked about is prenatal genetic testing. The purpose of prenatal genetic testing is to obtain information on a baby’s health before they are born. This new technology will definitely improve the quality of human life. Diseases will be diminished and through new advances some diseases might even be eliminated. Children will be at less risk to have major health problems

Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder where tumors form on the brain and any other nerve tissue such as the spinal cord‚ nerves or any area on or under the skin. These can form cancer and symptoms other than tumors can include learning disability‚ hearing loss‚ heart problems‚ vision loss‚ high blood pressure‚ muscle loss‚ brown spots and chronic pain. This disease can be passed on from generation to generation and is caused by a variation or mutation in the genes. Neurofibromatosis is a non curable

Gene therapy was introduced into the scientific field around 1972‚ which led to the first attempt at its use in 1980. Although original efforts were unsuccessful‚ this event ignited research into the idea‚ which has led to the multiple developments in gene therapy still being refined today. Around the same time‚ biotechnology also emerged as a new and ingenious tool in field of biology which only furthered the potential abilities of gene therapy. Current research surrounding these fields combines
