technological advances such as gene editing have given scientists the ability to alter genetic traits to suit the needs of humans. At first‚ it may seem like a breakthrough humanity desperately needs to overcome many obstacles facing the human race. However‚ this highly controversial process could lead to unintended consequences due to limitations in

chances of survival for the natural population. An example of this is the transgenic species and the impact they can have on genetic diversity. A transgenic specie or a transgene is basically an organism that has had genetic material injected into it from another organism. For the most part‚ transgenic species are betterment for humans; but the impact they have/can have on genetic diversity is one of its disadvantages. The potential impact of these species depends on how well the species competes.

In this essay I will be discussing the controversial topic of human genetic engineering and its pros and cons from a biological and social point of view while also trying to answer the question “Should human genetic engineering be legal.” Genes control health and disease‚ as well as human traits and behaviour. Researchers are just beginning to use genetic technology to unravel the secrets to these phenotypes (observable trait caused by a gene). They are also discovering a range of other potential

in recent years. One of which is the scientific research of genetic engineering. They have found ways to fix genetic mutations‚ cure diseases‚ and even just improve a child’s athletic or intellectual ability. Genetic Scientists are trying to genetically engineer children in the womb‚ but genetic engineering is an inferior practice because of the safety‚ financial‚ and ethical issues. First‚ as our society gets closer and closer to genetic perfection‚ it has to monitor the safety of it’s people. When

Kentaurus Webster Ms. Mulvanny 8th Grade Science December 13‚ 2012 What Causes Mold on bread? The question I am trying to answer is what causes mold on bread. I think that mold is fungus. Mold spores are everywhere: in the air‚ on your kitchen counters‚ on your skin etc. Mold likes to grow in environments where they can find nutrients like bread. When mold spores find a nice environment‚ they "hatch" and then begin to eat and reproduce. This is when you see the lovely green and white fuzz

High quality preschool programs should provide well trained and adequately paid teachers‚ provide curriculums based on solid research‚ and have a balance between teacher-directed activities and child-initiated activities. In addition‚ curriculums should provide ample amounts of make believe play because it promotes abstract thinking‚ verbal and social skills‚ and self-regulation. Moreover‚ high quality preschool programs should provide a low teacher to child ratio so teachers can meet the individual
