    In biology‚ term- mutation has been described as changes to the base pair sequence of the genetic material of an organism. Mutations can be caused by: copying errors in the genetic material during cell division‚ by exposure to ultraviolet or ionizing radiation‚ chemical mutagens‚ or viruses‚ or can occur deliberately under cellular control during processes such as hypermutation. In multicellular organisms‚ mutations can be subdivided into germ line mutations‚ which can be passed on to descendants

    The Genetics of Violence Introduction We‚ in the 1990 ’s‚ are slowly and inevitably being faced with the sociological and biological implications of impending genetic power. This power is analytical‚ in such cases as the Human Genome Project‚ which will hopefully succeed in mapping out the genetic code for the entire human genetic composition. Moreover‚ this power is preventative and participatory in that it can be‚ and is being‚ used to control the behavior of humans and other animals. This new

    bioengineering have helped us develop a better understanding of the origins from which humans and other living creatures spur. The discovery of the Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the key to all bioengineering. The DNA is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms and some viruses. The main role of DNA molecules is the long-term storage of information. An allele is one of two or more forms of the DNA sequence of a particular

    Genetic Engineering Cutting Edge Science By C.A.L.A. Consulting What Is Genetic Engineering? Genetic Engineering is the process of manually adding new DNA to an organism. The goal is to add one or more new traits that are not already found in that organism. When a gene for a desirable trait is taken from one organism and inserted into another‚ it gives the recipient organism the ability to express that trait. An accent‚ click to edit the text inside.
