It is ironic that one of the biggest discoveries in the scientific world was found on a microscopic scale: sticky ends. When Ronald W. Davis‚ a professor in chemistry at Stanford University‚ was utilizing the EcoRI restriction endonuclease to cleave DNA‚ he noticed that the outcome was two single-stranded ends of DNA that had nucleotide base sequences complementary to each other. This was a result of the restriction enzyme creating overhang regions in the DNA strands which allowed for the sticky

The purpose of GMOs‚ to enhance the traits of certain genes within plants or to implant traits from other vegetation which could strengthen the plant. Highly looked down upon by some but highly appreciated by others. I believe GMOs are a great scientific way to make our foods safer‚ because of the self-resisting traits that are bestowed upon them by genetics or genetic implantation. But first what does GMO mean‚ you’ve come so far into this paragraph enough and to not know the meaning of the acronym

he purpose of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault is what can be referred to as a safe house for humanity. The Svalbard Global Seed Vault‚ located 700 miles from the North Pole on Svalbard Island‚ contains 1.5 billion backup copies of seeds from around the world from almost every country. Built on Svalbard Island‚ known as the "Cold Coast‚" the vault has been built to last 10‚000 years and is referred to as a "Frozen Fort Knox." In the event of a world disaster‚ the vault has been created to remain frozen

Fenland Celery: The Winter Asparagus We could all be forgiven by thinking that celery is celery‚ but in fact the main crop of celery in the UK stops being grown around October depending on the (currently very unseasonal) weather. The frosts would destroy a normal crop grown by normal methods. So how does Fenland Celery manage to be grown right up until the end of the year? Indeed this year it could be until mid-January. We’ve taken a look at this heritage crop‚ which sees its origins at Christmas

Genetically modified organism is one of the least talked about topics in relations to current ongoing problems. For those who don’t know exactly what a genetically modified organism (GMO)‚ a GMO is known as an organism that has been genetically modified this genetic material has been reformed to improve product quality. GMOs are used for many things although the best-known use is for genetically modified foods. According to the World Health Organization “Genetically modified (GM) foods are foods

Through observation‚ it has been shown that the hypothesis stating that Total Kill would be a more successful herbicide was correct. Total Kill‚ which was the more expensive product of the two herbicides had ended up causing more damage to the impatiens. This was seen after the first day of spraying‚ although the Weed B Gone impatiens was affected by having its leaves start to droop downwards the Total Kill impatiens leaves were already losing their texture and rusting. Subsequently‚ the second day

Genetically Modified Organism is the purpose to improve or correction of defects‚ by changing one’s genetic make up and adjusting the DNA ("Animal Biotechnology | Bioscience Topics | About Bioscience"‚ 2006). This type of technology has been experimented on what is called the Enviropig‚ invented which manupilates the genes to help produce less phosphorus in its manure‚ this is more efficiently than conventional Yorkshire pigs. The feces from the Yorkshire pigs were discovered that it contained large

Genetically Modified Organisms are Harmful For the past 25 years the United States has been putting their people in harm’s way. They have been doing this by allowing government agencies to grow and sell genetically modified foods and organisms to the public without informing them of what they’re consuming (2011 responsibletechnology.org). Most people do not know that a large quantity of the foods they are eating are not natural and are actually mutations of real healthy foods that take tons of chemicals

All-in-1 is a company that have been selling macronutrient products for the past 6 years‚ and recently they’ve been getting accused of that they have not included the important macronutrients in one of their products; the meal replacement drink. The nutra-chek company‚ takes samples of food products into their labs to test for macronutrients in the samples. The purpose of this lab is to test for four macronutrients: Monosaccharides‚ starches‚ proteins and fats. The results of this lab will determine
