The main goal of this experiment was to successfully clone human insulin cDNA into an expression vector. The gel electrophoresis results confirm that the inserts were successfully cloned into the expression vector based on the identical fragment position of each cut candidate in the gel. The fragment sizes of the both cut candidates produced on the gel when compared to the DNA ladder were larger‚ at roughly about 6000 base pairs and 6800 base pairs‚ than the predicted size of 2315 and 3119 base pairs

“When everyone’s super… no one will be” (The Incredibles). This may just be a simplistic quotation from a children’s movie‚ but it poses a good point in the argument of genetically modifying humans. Genetically enhancing an embryo could be potentially harmful to an infant and a child’s relationship with his or her parents‚ as well as with children born naturally‚ and furthermore‚ the genetic editing of human embryos will raise a generation of similar‚ talentless‚ and undistinguished people that will

A Humble and Shallow Review of The Double Helix: A Personal Account of the Discovery of the Structure of DNA by James D Watson As a piece of book review as regards the book The Double Helix: A Personal Account of the Discovery of the Structure of DNA‚ written by James D. Walter in an autobiographic tone‚ this paper aims at offering a preliminary glimpse of the nature of scientific discovery and the constraints of scientific specialization as well as women’s role in science. Just like James Watson

Imagine a future where people can be designed exactly how they want. They can have perfect hair‚ perfect teeth‚ a healthy body‚ and more. A parent can get rid of all his child’s blemishes and ensure a prosperous life. World diseases can be cured and sicknesses healed. Though this may seem like science fiction‚ this future is getting closer and closer thanks to advances in genetics. Many people may envy this future‚ but its consequences may be horrendous. Editing the human genome should never become

From 1928 to 1952‚ experiments done by Frederick Griffith‚ Oswald Avery‚ Alfred Hershey‚ and Martha Chase all did experiments that contributed to the discovery of the DNA. Frederick Griffith experiment was done in 1928‚ Oswald Avery’ was done during the early 1940’s‚ and Alfred Hershey’s with help from Martha Chase was done in 1952. All of these experiments contributed to the idea known as translation‚ the process of cell ribosomes converting proteins to messenger RNA‚ or mRNA. Because of how they

Discuss three instances of how our knowledge of DNA has changed life in our day. Give one positive and one negative application of that knowledge and defend your answer. According to Kenneth Saladin‚ deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is “a long threadlike molecule with a uniform diameter of 2mm‚ although its length varies greatly from the smallest to the largest chromosomes.” What does this mean? Basically‚ it is a long string that contains a person’s genetic information. DNA has been studied

The Hershey and chase experiment conclusively proved that DNA was the genetic material. Alfred Hershey and his lab technician Martha Chase carried out this experiment. The discovery began when Alfred Hershey believed that proteins were more likely to carry genetic material than was the simple DNA molecule. They decided to track the transfer of protein DNA between a virus and its host by the T2 bacteriophage as the vehicle for delivering genetic material. To reproduce‚ the bacteriophage injects its

Ever since the beginning of sports – especially basketball and soccer – athleticism has been a major role in deciding which player would thrive and which ones would drop out‚ and this is mostly due to said player’s genetics. Recently‚ genetic engineers and biotechnologists have been able to make breakthroughs on altering existing DNA and gifting upon fortunate beings extra traits that were not present beforehand. Our genetics have already been improving from the past‚ as BBC news stated that the
