ABSTRACT The microevolution of Alu element TPA-25 was tested in the experiment through the examination‚ observation‚ and analysis of population alleles distribution under the Hardy-Weinberg Theory of Genetic Equilibrium. Alu elements affect the genome by causing insertion mutations‚ recombination between elements‚ gene conversion‚ and alterations in gene expression. In the lab PCR was used to amplify a short piece of DNA from human genome which allowed us to look for a DNA sequence called an Alu

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

Mendelian Genetics Introduction In 1865 an Austrian monk‚ Gregor Mendel‚ presented the results of painstaking experiments on the inheritance of the garden pea. Those results were heard‚ but not understood‚ by Mendel’s audience. In 1866‚ Mendel published his results in an obscure German journal. The result of this was that Mendel’s work was ignored and forgotten. Mendel died in 1884 without knowing the pivotal role his work would play in founding the modern discipline of genetics. By 1899‚ some

Genetic Counselors are professional who have completed a master’s program in medical genetics and counseling skills. They then pass a certification exam administered by the American Board of Genetics Counseling. Genetic counselors can help and inheritance patterns‚ suggest testing‚ and lay out possible scenarios.

Genetic Engineering The engineering of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is entirely new‚ yet genetics‚ as a field of science‚ has fascinated mankind for over 2‚000 years. Man has always tried to bend nature around his will through selective breeding and other forms of practical genetics. Today‚ scientists have a greater understanding of genetics and its role in living organisms. Unfortunately‚ some people are trying to stop further studies in genetics‚ but the research being conducted today will serve
