If A and a are alleles for a particular gene and each individual has two alleles then p is the frequency of the A allele and q is the frequency of a alleles. The frequency of the possible diploid combinations is expressed in the equation

Schizophrenia: Genetic or Environmental? About one percent of the American population suffers from schizophrenia. The term schizophrenia literally means the "splitting of psychic functions" (Pinel‚ 447). At the time of the early 20th century‚ this is what was used to describe what was assumed at that time to be the primary symptom: the breakdown of integration among emotion‚ thought‚ and action (Pinel‚ 447).

Meiosis 1 does cross over and because of that‚ it creates genetic changes. Mitosis ‚ on the other hand‚ does not cross over. Something else that is different is the way it occurs. Meiosis 1 is sexual but Mitosis is asexual. Another change is the number of divisions that each event goes through. Meiosis 1 goes through 2 divisions which ends up having

Marshaee’ Knowles Prenatal Genetic Testing Many medical advances are being made today in the area of genetics. One of the most talked about is prenatal genetic testing. The purpose of prenatal genetic testing is to obtain information on a baby’s health before they are born. This new technology will definitely improve the quality of human life. Diseases will be diminished and through new advances some diseases might even be eliminated. Children will be at less risk to have major health problems

I think that there are going to be a lot of new changes in the upcoming millennium. I think the change that will have the biggest impact will be genetic engineering. One side of genetic engineering will be that parents will be allowed to chose the outcome of their baby. Another side is cloning. I think the biggest part will be correcting DNA to get rid of diseases. That could also be a part of choosing your baby because you could fix any problems before it is even born. I think the

lots of details like; babies born with genetic manipulation‚ they go Saturn in Gattaca and transport genetics from Marrow to Vincent with DNA transport. In the movie‚ parents can choose their children’s abilities before they born. Genetic manipulation is common. With this people try to get rid of disease genetics. If a person born in natural ways‚ they call them ‘‘invalid’’. ‘‘Invalid’’ people do not have some rights compared with other born with genetic manipulation. It can also be called eugenics
