resistant pathogens through horizontal gene transfer. Located in the bacteria are plasmids. They are independent‚ self-duplicating‚ and allow bacteria to perform new functions/generate new products. Basically plasmids help their hosts to stop the action of antibiotics and become resistant. “Gene transfer must be integral and critical to the overall survival of bacteria‚ providing a way for them to adapt to difficult conditions” (Levy 2002‚ 83). Horizontal gene transfer can occur through conjugation

Cancer Gene Detection 11/06/12 Laboratory Report Objective(s) – The purpose of this experiment is to help students gain an understanding of p53 tumor suppressor genes and its role in familial cancers. Also‚ we evaluated p53 in cancer. Hypothesis – If the DNA has bits and particles‚ which are p53 hotspots being cut‚ than that means that cancer has been detected. Techniques & Skills – The skills that are required for this laboratory experiment is that we must exercise extreme caution when

Should Genes Be Patented? The issue of gene patenting sparked intense controversy throughout the nation that culminated with the Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics Supreme Court case‚ which concluded this past June. The case regarded Myriad Genetics‚ a molecular diagnostic company based in Salt Lake City‚ and its patents on genes that correlate with an increased risk of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. Prior to the ruling‚ the company’s possession of these patents entailed

Glycolysis Regulation Task 3 (D4) Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose into a compound called pyruvate. A net of two ATPs are produced as the process uses two ATPs and produces four. Glycolysis consists of ten chemical reactions; each reaction is catalysed using a different enzyme. Oxygen is not required during glycolysis so it is considered anaerobic respiration. Glycolysis must be regulated so that energy is produce only when required. During glycolysis there are three enzymes that catalyse

“Genes determine intelligence” critically discuss the contemporary evidence. Research on intelligence has been around for centuries one of the earliest known testing is said to be as early as 2200 BC where Chinese administrators tested civil servants periodically to make sure they acquired the necessary abilities/skills for their job. Today psychologist now test on weather intelligence is genetically induced and if so to what extent by taking into account environmental factors‚ using methods like
