Discuss the role of genes and hormones in gender development (24 marks) Gender refers to the social‚ psychology and behavioural aspects of being male or female. In other words‚ masculinity or femininity‚ however this is different from Sex‚ which is the biological fact of being male or female. This is normally identified by chromosomes and genitalia. The hundred of genes we have in our 23 pairs of chromosomes carry information about our physical and behavioural characteristics. The sex chromosomes

WHAT IS GENE THERAPY? Gene therapy is the transfer of recombinant DNA into an individual’s body cells‚ with the intent to correct a genetic defect or treat a disease. The transfer occurs by the way of lipid clusters or genetically engineered viruses‚ inserts an unmutated gene into an individual’s chromosomes. It is basically a method for fixing defective genes that cause diseases. As Starr‚ Evers & Starr (2013) stated‚ there are over 15‚000 serious genetic disorders in the world. Most of

The warrior gene indicates that some individuals are born with the war gene. Henry Rowland was born in Washington D.C. when his parents divorced at an early age. The separation between his parents caused him to develop anxiety. Rowland expresses in the video that he often thinks to himself why he is the way he is always filled

Week 8 Assignment 2: Gene Technology Introduction to Biology Mr. James Cox March 3‚ 2013 Gene technology is the term given to a range of activities concerned with understanding the expression of genes‚ taking advantage of natural genetic variation‚ modifying genes and transferring genes to new hosts. Gene technology sits within the broader area of biotechnology – the use of living things to make or change products. Humans have been using biotechnology for centuries

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

Gene Cloning Clone: A group of identical cells or organisms To clone a gene: 1) Insert the gene into a vector that can carry the into a host cell 2) Ensure that it will replicate there 3) Insertion is carried out by cutting the vector and the DNA to be inserted with the same restriction endonuclease to ensure that both have the same "sticky ends" Vector for cloning the bacteria come from two major types: (1) Plasmids‚ and (2) Phages Recombinant DNA Technology A) It was developed in

Describing theories TASK 1(P1) Introduction The theory I have chosen to discuss is the theory of inheritance‚ which is attributed largely to Gregor Mendel who lived from 1822 to 1884 and was considered to be a mathematical scientist who introduced the science of genetics. Observation During the period of 1858 to 1866‚ Mendel observed the different characteristics that where inherited by living creatures. He done this by breading garden peas in his monastery garden and analyzing the offspring

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 and his roommate Finny (Phineas) become close friends at Devon School in the summer of 1942. Finny is always able to get away with what infractions he makes. He and Gene for a small society over jumping out of a tree into a river. They name it the “Super Suicide Society of the Summer Session”. Finny is very athletic and lures in lots of people by his charismatic behavior. He creates a game called blitzball that becomes popular within the attendees of the summer session. Gene envies Finny’s

Gene Splicing What Is It? Gene Splicing is one type of genetic technology. It is the process of taking pieces of DNA from one or more organisms then combining them into another DNA strand to create new DNA or recombinant DNA. How does it Work? Chemicals called restriction enzymes are used as scissors to cut the DNA. Thousands of these restriction enzymes exist‚ each recognizing only a single sequence of DNA. Once it finds that sequence in a strand of DNA‚ it attacks it and splits the base pairs
