Chapter 10 Foundations of Genetics Lecture Notes 1 Foundations of Genetics Mendel and the Garden pea The father of modern Genetics is Gregor Mendel. Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) was an Austrian monk who lived in a monastery where the experiments with the garden pea were performed. Mendel’s work with the garden pea was the fundamental study which unveiled the laws that govern genetics and heredity. Mendel was the first to use the scientific method in a very systematic and analysed his results

Issues on BT Corn The Philippines‚ being an agricultural country‚ has been taking steps in the development of the technology for the agricultural sector. Several institutions are studying the best possible ways of increasing crop yield‚ allowing crops to thrive in different environmental conditions‚ developing low-cost and eco-friendly fertilizers and eradication of pests. The development of new technology for latter problem has been the main concern of the agricultural crowd because after six

The Genetics of Hunger Shaleigh Johnson SCI 207 Dr. Christina Luecke October 31‚ 2011 Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) alone cannot solve world hunger‚ or malnutrition‚ because malnutrition does not stem from a lack of food but what is contained in the food. Other issues to be considered would be agricultural sustainability‚ economics and politics. In order to solve world hunger‚ these issues must be fully addressed before GMOs

A controversial issue of the twenty-first century is the possible application of new techniques in genetic engineering to produce human clones. Up until now genetic engineering and cloning has been used to clone plants‚ unicellular organisms‚ amphibians and simple mammals. This has led to significant advances in agriculture‚ industry‚ and medicine. Newer techniques in genetic engineering have enabled scientists to clone more complex mammals and opened up the possibility of cloning humans. Although

GENETIC ENGINEERING GENETIC ENGINEERING GENERAL STEPS What is Genetic Engineering? Genetic Engineering = inserting a foreign gene of interest into a host to transcribe and translate a particular protein. Ex. Inserting the human insulin gene into bacteria to mass produce it. General Steps Obtain the gene of interest (ex. insulin gene) Insert the gene into the host (ex. bacteria) Allow the host to multiply and express the foreign gene get your desired protein! Get lots of cells that can

Because blood sugar lab results show that a high percentage of American subjects are either diabetic or pre-diabetic‚ I decided to look at the statistics. According to the American Diabetes Association (http://www.diabetes.org/diabetes-basics/diabetes-statistics/)‚ 8.3%‚ or about one in every 12 Americans actually has diabetes and is in need of immediate treatment‚ while another 25% is pre-diabetic‚ in other words likely to need treatment for diabetes in the near future. The great majority of diabetes

allows a genetic breakthrough to be acknowledged by humanity in a matter of mere minutes. However‚ even with extreme bursts of technology‚ there are many mysteries that this world harbors which scientists have been trying to unravel for many decades. Many of these mysteries have much to do with the complexity of a muscle that is located underneath the human skull in which is called the brain. Technological advancement has allowed scientists to understand the intricacies of genetics. Genetics are linked
