GENETIC ENGINEERING: THE BEGINNINGS OF MODERN GENETICS The first scientific investigation of inheritance came from an unlikely place—a monastery garden in what later became Czechoslovakia. There in the 19th century‚ a monk named Gregor Mendel bred generations of pea plants‚ observed the way they inherited characteristics‚ and founded modern genetics. While cell science and evolution theory were advancing‚ what was happening in inheritance studies? Nothing! Mendel’s work was quickly forgotten

Human Genetic Engineering Human Genetic Engineering is the alteration of genetic material. As science is improving as so does our need to make the world a “better” place. Technological advancements have let us cloned many animals but the next step you say? The next step is human engineering‚ as humans of perfection; we are always trying to find ways to make things better than others. They are able to manipulate the human genome and to cure the world of diseases. Scientists are able to make the

researchers named Hixton Group released a statement claiming that genetic modification is essential to gain basic understanding of the biology of early embryos. Being able to modify and study embryos would bring tremendous value to science. Although the group didn’t particularly encourage changing embryos for personal reasons‚ they strongly believe that when all safety‚ efficacy and governance needs are met it is acceptable to practice genetic modification. This is a complicated topic to many because changing

Introduction Prenatal genetic testing‚ also known as prenatal diagnosis or prenatal screening‚ tests for diseases and disorders in a developing fetus or embryo. It is typically used for detecting Down’s syndrome or other chromosome abnormalities‚ spina bifida‚ cleft palate‚ Tay-Sachs disease‚ sickle cell anemia‚ thalassemia‚ cystic fibrosis‚ muscular dystrophy‚ and fragile X syndrome. There have been multiple ways to test for these diseases/disorders over the years‚ including (but not inclusive

Introduction: * Genetics are composed of five main areas: DNA replication‚ meiosis‚ reproduction‚ adaptation and evolution. The body is composed of 46 chromosomes (23 from your mother and 23 of your father). The genes are in your cells in the nucleus and some in the mitochondria. The genes are a small part of a long molecule called DNA. DNA is a double stranded molecule (sugar‚ phosphate and four different bases: Adenine‚ Thymine‚ Cytosine and Guanine). The bases in the DNA are
