    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

    not be too far off in the future. Designing babies using genetic enhancement is an issue that is gaining more and more attention in the news. This controversial issue‚ once thought to be only possible in the realm of science-fiction‚ is causing people to discuss the moral issues surrounding genetic enhancement and germ line engineering. Though genetic research can prove beneficial to learning how to prevent hereditary diseases‚ the genetic enhancement of human embryos is unethical when used to create

    Discuss genetic explanations for aggression. Early research concentrated on chromosomal abnormalities but no specific genotype has been associated with aggression. Genes determine how much testosterone a person’s body produces and how quickly it circulates around their body. Genes also determine the synthesis of testosterone receptors‚ and how many and how sensitive such receptors are. The gene called monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) produces an enzyme which regulates the metabolism of serotonin in

    Utilitarianism and Genetic Engineering In the past thirty years‚ humans are witnessing a huge revolution in the genetic engineering industry. Having identified most of the Human Genome‚ gene sequencing has become programmed and extremely fast‚ and laboratory techniques in molecular biology allow for in-vitro fertilization and transfer of genetic material. Gene therapy and repair based on stem cells research allows for replacement of a defected allele in the DNA‚ and even a whole damaged tissue in

    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

    Genetic engineering is a type of engineering where genes are modified to find cures‚ diseases‚ and more. Genetic engineering uses the central dogma‚ which is the idea of taking. DNA transcribing it into RNA translates it into protein and expressing it as a trait. Recombinant plasmids are when DNA fragments are inserted into a plasmid vector. The recognition site is where the plasmid gets cut by the restriction enzyme which is an enzyme that cuts a DNA molecule. Recombinant DNA is the DNA being inserted
