GENE MUTATION‚TYPES OF MUTATIONS 1. Gene Mutation A Gene Mutation is defined as an alternation in the sequence of nucleotides in DNA. It can affect a single nucleotide pair or larger gene segments of a chromosome. Mutations cause changes in the genetic code which lead to genetic variation and the potential to develop disease. What causes Gene Mutation? → Gene mutations are most commonly caused as a result of two types of occurrences. 1. Environmental factors Ex) chemicals‚ radiation

How will Gene Doping effect the sports industry? Gene Doping is a different type of gene therapy that has caused a lot of controversy in the past 6-7 years due to the capability of what this method of doping could do. Gene doping therapy was started at Harvard in 1999 and was specifically used to get a substantial rise in the performance of athletes. This is done by genetically modifying cells to enhancing athletic performance. Gene therapy is done by using genes to help treat or stop diseases.

Gene doping: the hype and the reality Genetic manipulation has produced some potential advantages to be able to alter the cells in animal models of human diseases‚ which may make disease as a thing of the past and help with the development of better pharmaceutical products in order to extend the human life spans‚ however‚ there are still major technological obstacles that require further research to ensure the methods and effects of genetic manipulation. The gene therapy products may not only be

Gene therapy is being currently developed in labs across the world‚ with the goal of eventually being able to alter a person’s genetic make up effectively and consistently. If the subject has a missing or defective gene‚ scientists are able to inactivate the mutated gene and transplant a normal healthy one. Should the mutated gene be responsible for the lack of production to a particular protein‚ gene therapy may be able to restore normal function of the polypeptide and essential save the cell and

Gene Therapy; Is it Beneficial to Society Over the years medicine has evolved drastically‚ reaping extreme advantages for more than half the world’s population. One form of medicine is gene therapy‚ a technique first developed in 1972 and one that has grown into a promising treatment option for many genetic mutations‚ diseases‚ or syndromes. The more time passes‚ the stronger gene therapy gets in being a promising solution treatment option. The ultimate goal is to present information that explains

The Gene Lab 1. Introduction The purpose of this report is to inform dog breeders of a very common genetic disease known as Progressive retinal atrophy (PRA). The report will also inform buyers of the disease so they are aware of the disorder and they can check to dog’s pedigree for the disease. PRA could affect any dog‚ as a result of this it is recommended that the offspring should be examined by a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist and screened for the existence of the disorder.

A particularly important category of genetic linkage has to do with the X and Y sex chromosomes. These not only carry the genes that determine male and female traits but also those for some other characteristics as well. Genes that are carried by either sex chromosome are said to be sex linked. Men normally have an X and a Y combination of sex chromosomes‚ while women have two X’s. Since only men inherit Y chromosomes‚ they are the only ones to inherit Y-linked traits. Men and women can get
