Somatic Cell Transfer is a scientific laboratory technology during which there is the fusion of the entire nucleus of a non-reproductive cell (somatic cell) and its entire nuclear DNA content‚ with the cell of a reproductive cell (germ cell) whose nucleus has been removed; called an enucleated cell‚ allowing the host cell to program the inserted nucleus from the somatic cell‚ and then triggering the reproductive cell with its new DNA content to undergo cell mitotic division in a cell culture.

STEM CELL RESEARCH AND THERAPYAND ITS IMPACTS ON SOCIETY Abstract There are several types of stem cells being used in stem cell research and therapy today. They are embryonic‚ adult and induced pluripotent stem cells. Each will be discussed further. This topic has stirred much moral‚ ethical and political debate as whether cells from fetuses should be used in this research. This impacts governmental policies on laws and funding. Another issue that must be analyzed is the

the size of cheek cell and onion cell DCP: Introduction: In this experiment‚ Onion cells (Allium cepa) Cheek cells (Homo sapiens) were measured and compared. The aim of this experiment is to find out how both cells differ by comparing their size. Onion cells (Allium cepa) is plant cell and Cheek cells (Homo sapiens) is an animal cell. Hypothesis: The size of an animal cell (Homo sapiens) should be smaller than a plant cell (Allium cepa). Because a plant cell has cell wall which is to maintain

Epidermis Cells Aim: To see if rhubarb changes when it is placed in solutions of different concentrations. Introduction: "Plasmolysis in Rhubarb Epidermis Cells" is an experiment to see whether or not rhubarb changed its cell structure when placed within different types or solutions. "A single layer of plant cell is placed on a micrscope slide and either distilled water or 5% NaCl solution is added to the cells. Osmosis will occur resulting in either turgid cells or plasmolysed cells." (www

differences between cancer cells and normal cell. Some of the differences are well known ‚where as others have only been recently discovered and are less well understood.You may be interested in how cancer cells are different as you are coping with your own cancer or of a loved one. For many researchers understanding how does cancer cells function differently from normal cells foundation for developing treatments designed to rid the body of cancer cells without damaging normal cells. First‚ when it comes

are cells so small? Would it be more efficient if everyone were just made up of one or two huge cells? A source of energy and molecules are required by all living organisms‚ which means that the amount of the cell that is able to receive molecules is important. The group’s hypothesis was that “cells are small because small cells have a larger surface area to volume ratio”‚ which is important because a larger surface area allows for more molecules to diffuse at one time. The group created cells made

chapter on chemistry. Cells are considered to be the smallest structure that is alive. They are often too small to see without the aid of a microscope. All living organisms are composed of cells. The smallest organisms are composed of a single cell; larger organisms are composed of more than one cell. Similar kinds of cells may be arranged together to form a tissue. Tissues have specific properties and functions. For example muscle tissue is composed of muscle cells. It functions to move body

microstructure of a typical animal cell and the functions of the main cell components. A typical animal cell is seen as a tiny‚ three dimensional sac which is in fact made up of many components‚ each as important as the other. The microstructure of an animal cell was in fact uncovered mainly through the use of both cell fractionation and electron microscopy. Each main component has its own‚ individual function which helps a cell to function and maintains the cell membrane. The components that I will

Methods for studying cells in the lab Centrifugation A centrifuge is a device for separating particles from a solution according to their size‚ shape‚ density‚ viscosity of the medium and rotor speed. Centrifugation can be used to separate cells from one culture or to isolate an organelle from the rest of the cell. The process relies on speed; the faster and longer the particle is centrifuged‚ the smaller the particles are that will be separated. Separation occurs by causing the larger particles
