In this essay I am going to explore the genetic‚ cultural and social risks occurring when certain communities marry within their own family‚ i.e. in the Asian communities marrying cousins using contemporary examples of the medical‚ ethical and sociological effects on individuals and society in Britain. While there is no law in Britain against first cousins marrying each other‚ I will explore claims that the genetic risk for disability occurring in children born from these relationships

Genetically modified organisms are organisms that’s genetic material has been changed using engineering techniques. Organisms that are genetically modified include microorganisms such as bacteria and yeast‚ insects‚ plants‚ fish‚ and mammals. This alteration of the genes usually entails inserting genetic material into an organism in a laboratory without natural mating‚ breeding or reproduction. Instead of breeding two plants or animals together to bring out certain traits in the offspring‚ the plant

reinforcement learning methods‚ and etc. In this project‚ genetic algorithm will be used to solve this problem by using GAlib package. Genetic Algorithms are adaptive methods which may be used to solve search and optimization problems. They are based on the genetic processes of biological organisms. Over many generations‚ natural populations evolve according to the principles of natural selection and "survival of the fittest". By mimicking this process‚ genetic algorithms are able to "evolve" solutions to real

ABSTRACT Genetics is a trend these days especially that‚ DNA barcoding has been developed. DNA barcoding is an important tool in categorizing the taxa of different species and it tells so much about the species’ traits‚ including genetic diversity. The Pomacea canaliculata was introduced in different parts of Asia and had been an invasive species and a pest in different ecosystems ever since the introduction. In understanding this species of snails‚ samples were collected‚ DNA’s were extracted‚

Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) is a prenatal diagnosis specifically for parents with a high risk of producing an offspring with a serious genetic disorder. This is a socio scientific issue as there are many viewpoints and opinion surrounding this topic. PGD is only permitted if there is a 25% chance of inheritance of the serious condition or if there is a high chance of inheriting chromosome abnormalities which is associated to recurrent miscarriages or advanced maternal age.

Genetic engineering is the scientific manipulation of genes in order to modify the offspring of an organism. It may work with plants‚ humans or other animals. However‚ the various forms of this technology have led many to argue that the manipulation of genes constitutes a threat to humans and disturb the delicate balance of biodiversity which exists in nature. The main concern of human genetic engineering is that it may possibly change the genetic characteristics of unborn babies. It is widely

Genetic modification is one of such experiments. Genetic modification refers to the deliberate alteration of the genetic structure or DNA of an organism in order to give it new abilities and produce a desired effect. Organisms that are modified with DNA from another organism are called transgenic. Scientists have
