leaf‚ and no red stem white leaf. Introduction Genetics‚ which is the science of heredity‚ has four major areas. One of these areas is called transmission or Mendelian genetics‚ which deals with the transmission of genes from generation to generation (Russell 2003). Within this area‚ there are hereditary traits‚ which are controlled by genes. As studied by Mendel‚ genotype and phenotype are both characteristics of an organism. Genotype is the genetic make-up of an organism while phenotype is the observable

Lactic acid bacteria(LAB)‚ a bacteria that can be found in the production of cheese‚ its stress gene was investigated in the experiment by using various biochemical and genetic techniques to identify and extract. The characterisation of the strain illustrates how identification of strains differ using different methods‚ such as gram stain and 16s rRNA screening. After the characterisation‚ the stress gene isolation assist the further understanding of the gene on LAB be giving different stress

and Paste: Exploring Genetic Engineering In previous three decades‚ scientists have learned how to combine characteristics with unrelated creatures by moving genes. This is called “genetic engineering.” Genetic Engineering is rashly applied in food production. All humans have genes‚ which carry certain traits structuring a person’s chemical composition. Inheritable characteristics move through generations through DNA. Genetic Engineering is the planned adjustment of genetic material. Any meddling
