Short Essay 2: Genetically Modified Organism Debate A genetically modified organism is used to refer an organism whose genetic material has been changed by genetic engineering techniques‚ which cut and combine DNA molecules from different organism into one molecule (Wikipedia‚ 2012). This way‚ scientists can give it new characteristics that people desire but do not have normally. Since the benefits brought by genetically modified organism are extremely obviously‚ such as lower

different species of living organisms‚ bacteria‚ or viruses to get desired traits such as resistance to disease or tolerance of pesticides. How do scientists Genetically modify organisms? Genetically modifying organisms works just like an advanced form of cut and paste. During genetic modification‚ DNA is taken from and unrelated plant‚ animal or bacteria and inserted into a different organism to get it to produce the desired traits. The DNA is“cut” from one organism and “pasted” into and unrelated

Essential Questions: How do the structures of organisms enable life’s functions? What happens to individuals within an ecosystem when the environment changes? Structures help organisms adapt to give them a better chance of survival. Structures could be many things. When you look at animals today you can see many things that give them advantages to survive in nature. A turtle is a great example because before they probably didn’t have shells or maybe softer shells. Ones with tougher shells are more

The new green colored fish got is color from the extracted Green Fluorescent Protein that is taken from one jellyfish species called Aequorea victoria. These fish are beneficial for a lot of things including the economy‚ environment and the entertainment of the people. Some genetically modified organism has contributed to help

about vector organisms such as ticks and mosquitoes and ways to remove them. Vector Organisms and the Diseases They Carry Vector organisms are parasites that transmit various diseases. Two vector organisms are ticks and mosquitoes. These two vector organisms transmit many well-known diseases. Through most of this essay‚ I will be explaining these two different organisms and the diseases that they carry. First‚ I will be explaining deer ticks. Ticks are small spider-like organisms that attach themselves

The Complement System The complement system is a nonspecific defense mechanism activated in response to invading organisms. This system gets its name from the fact that it complements the action of antibodies. It is the primary mechanism activated by antibodies to kill foreign cells by forming membrane attack complexes. In addition to directly lysing the invading organisms it also reinforces the general inflammatory tactics. It can be activated in two ways: 1. A nonspecific innate immune
