Genetic Engineering – A Curse or a Blessing? What is geneitc engineering? Many struggle to understand the real meaning and outcrops of this complicated‚ highly expensinve procedure. Genetic Engineering is a direct human manipulation of an organism’s DNA structure. As intricated as it seems‚ it’s a technology that has been used for decades‚ and is soon to outbreak into a real “Cloning Aeon”. Therefore‚ how could we know the benefits and the drawbacks of this technique? Let us take a hinge

Genetic disorders are a topic in biology that can not be avoided. The fact is that genetic disorders can happen in humans‚ plants or animal. No one and nothing is safe from a genetic disorder. A genetic disorder can appear in the first years off life‚ or can appear much later in life when least expected. A basic principal of biology states that the behavior of chromosomes during the meiosis process can account for genetic inheritance patterns. There are many reasons for genetic disorders. To start

Most of us are familiar with natural selection as one of the mechanisms of evolution. Another well-known mechanism is random genetic drift. This is a mechanism that results in fixation (or loss) of alleles by purely random processes. The topic is thoroughly covered in all the major textbooks—it is not controversial. Unless you deny the existence of random genetic drift‚ you must agree that some of evolution is entirely due to chance events. The controversy is over how much of evolution is due to

Mendelian Genetics Introduction In 1865 an Austrian monk‚ Gregor Mendel‚ presented the results of painstaking experiments on the inheritance of the garden pea. Those results were heard‚ but not understood‚ by Mendel’s audience. In 1866‚ Mendel published his results in an obscure German journal. The result of this was that Mendel’s work was ignored and forgotten. Mendel died in 1884 without knowing the pivotal role his work would play in founding the modern discipline of genetics. By 1899‚ some

and age‚ but truthfully it is what is becoming of our world. Through substantial research and experimentation that is taking place‚ scientists‚ specifically biologists‚ are becoming keener to the field of engineering. Genetic engineering that is. When one thinks of “genetic engineering‚” the first thought is probably a perfect child‚ or paradoxically some inconceivable creature‚ forged under the microscope in a scientific laboratory. Though both of these are genetic engineering‚ many people do not

The medicine usually involved to treat this disease is Chemo Therapy and radiation. It works for some‚ some it does not. So what other alternative is there for patients with this illness?

Benefits of Genetics Engineering Medical technology is used for a vast range of diagnostics‚ treatments and to monitor patients. All the past studies included gained knowledge is actively moving to the empowerment to a disease-free life. This process is known was genetic engineering‚ which is modification of the genetics to combat illness. The process of engineering is completed by changing the sequences of the DNA protein‚ either recombining or taking out the found mutated gene. Through the years

What are Cells‚ DNA‚ Genes and Chromosomes? In the human body there are 50 trillion cells. Cells structures the human body‚ takes in nutrients and covert it into energy. Each cell has a set of instructions that create a person identity and it is encoded into humans Deoxyribonucleic (DNA). Genes are a long strand of DNA. The long strands of DNA are organized into piece called chromosomes. Every human have 23 pairs of chromosomes. Chromosomes are organized to short segment of DNA called genes. A
