In 1968 he made a revolutionary discoverie. He discovered the type II restriction enzyme‚ witch had major impacts in 2 fields of science. Gene cloning‚ and DNA fragmentation. Gene cloning is what it sounds like; cloning genes. He essentially made a discovery that allowed the first gene to be cloned. The second field that was impacted by this discovery was DNA fragmentation. DNA fragmentation is most commonly used in testing men’s sperm to see how fertile they

There are an infinite amount of reasons why China lost its dominant world position post-1400. Leading up to the 1400’s China was the “commander and chief’ of all Counties. They were much more developed and were way more advance than another culture at the time. A few major points as to why China lost its dominant world position would be because‚ they cut off trade and labeled all others as barbarians‚ they had a series of brutal power struggles‚ and Confucian scholars set China down a disastrous

Your genes are not your destiny. In the latest mega-study‚ researchers at King’s College London‚ followed over 13‚000 pairs of twins over a period of 12 years and came up with a genetic and environmental hotspot map showing that the weighting given to genetics versus environment in one’s development is strongly influenced by one’s geographic location. At first blush‚ these findings sound fairly obvious. After all‚ isn’t the whole point of nature versus nurture to show that environment plays as

Summary The book The Selfish Gene is about the acts of species and how they can affect what the next generations may act more like. Animals that act altruistically and sacrifice themselves for their own can’t pass on their behaviors. Animals that act selfishly and continue living can pass on their selfish acts. Our genes can tell us to act selfishly; we don’t need to obey though. A gene is defined as a part of a chromosome‚ the size undefined‚ in this book. It is described how life might have come

dominated by science. It seems that everyday‚ a new controversial topic appears. Most recently‚ the controversial topic is human germline gene therapy and this type of therapy does not have a place in 2016. I am against germline gene therapy because it is too early for human research‚ we as the science community do not know enough about the process of how genes control phenotypic expression‚ and if the technology to edit germline cells would be leaked to the public it could create an entirely new

Gene therapy was introduced into the scientific field around 1972‚ which led to the first attempt at its use in 1980. Although original efforts were unsuccessful‚ this event ignited research into the idea‚ which has led to the multiple developments in gene therapy still being refined today. Around the same time‚ biotechnology also emerged as a new and ingenious tool in field of biology which only furthered the potential abilities of gene therapy. Current research surrounding these fields combines

The traditional view held by Christians is that men should be the dominant partner and that they should go out to work to pay for the family‚ while the wife

“Ghost in Your Genes”- when hearing this I thought of something unknown‚ overtaking your body‚ or at least a part of your body. The movie‚ Ghost in Your Genes‚ presents an experiment done in the 1990s‚ called the Human Genome Project (Ghost in Your Genes). During this project‚ researchers were able to discover the chemical structure of each gene and overall they hoped to find a cure for all diseases‚ such as alzheimer’s and autism (Ghost in Your Genes). It was also found out that humans‚ surprisingly

Gene Cloning Methodology of DNA What is DNA? DNA was discovered by the Swiss biochemist‚ Johann Friedrich Miescher‚ in 1869‚ while he was working in Tubingen‚ Germany. He found that the DNA molecule is large; acidic in nature and rich in phosphorus‚ but only in the 1930s was the real and complex structure of DNA fully studied. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material in all prokaryotes and eukaryotes‚ i.e. it is the material responsible for the transfer of hereditary traits from
