enetics is the study of heritable changes in gene function that do not involve changes in the DNA sequence. Involves a methylation composition that affects the communication and response between cells and DNA. We all know DNA is your genetic makeup passed down from generation to generation. However‚ our DNA is intertwined with a protein known as histone. The bond between histones and DNA can vary along the DNA strand. This is caused by mythol group composition that cause the histones and DNA to coil

the knowledge of dissecting animals many doctors‚ physicians‚ and scientists have discovered cures for diseases over the course of time. Frederick Banting in 1920 experimented on dogs to find the functions of the pancreas that produce insulin. Due to his discovery‚ we diagnosed diabetes to a less "death sentence". In 1965. polio was eradicated in

Dorothy Hodgkin was one who always liked doing the impossible and living the edge on science. During her lifetime she made not one‚ but five discoveries. Each discovery was more complex than the other. Dorothy was born on May 12‚ 1910 in Cairo‚ Egypt. She was a scientist that spent her life studying different kinds of crystals. At the age of ten‚ she became interested in chemistry and crystal. This interest was encouraged by Dr. A.F. Joseph. Dr. A.F. Joseph was a friend of her parents in the Sudan

MODERN MEDICINE Modern medicine has made great strides in recent years. It is scientific and based on continual research and experiment. Surgery‚ in particular‚ has made an amazing advance. Thousands of doctors are being trained every year in India‚ and hundreds of hospitals set up. People living in cities rely mainly on modern medicine. In the past whenever there was an outbreak of plague or cholera people died by the hundreds. Modern medicine has succeeded in preventing the outbreak of epidemics

Volta(1745-1827) An Italian Physicist who was a pioneer in the development of electricity. He created the first electric battery in 1800. This battery gave the world its first continuous‚ reliable source of electric current‚ and led to all important discoveries of the use of electricity. The unit of measuring electromotive force (emf)‚ Volt(v) is named after him. He also proposed the law that the air expands at a constant rate with increasing temperature.

It is possible to alter the genetics of wheat plants to grow insulin for example. Of course there are two sides to the coin‚ here are some possible eventualities and disadvantages. * Nature is an extremely complex inter-related chain consisting of many species linked in the food chain.

Introduction Science is a creature that continues to evolve at a much higher rate than the beings that gave it birth. The transformation time from plant‚ to ape‚ to human far exceeds the time from a calculator to a computer. However science in the past has always remained distant. It has allowed for advances in production‚ transportation‚ and even entertainment‚ but never in history has science be able to so deeply affect our lives as genetic engineering will undoubtedly do.
