2 Production of Protein from Cloned Genes Now that we have covered the basic techniques involved in gene cloning and DNA analysis and examined how these techniques are used in research‚ we can move on to consider how recombinant DNA technology is being applied in biotechnology. This is not a new subject‚ although biotechnology has received far more attention during recent years than it ever has in the past. Biotechnology can be defined as the use of biological processes in industry and technology

The interior of the spinal cord looks grey because it is filled with neurons without having myelin sheath in their axons. There are thirty-one pairs of peripheral spinal nerves connected to the spinal

behaviour is inborn‚ inherited in our genes‚ unchangeable behaviour such as a reflex; a uncontrollable‚ involuntary movement. For example when an eyelid will automatically close when a puff of wind is blown into it or the palmer grasp‚ a baby will automatically close its hand and hold any object that stimulates its palm. Babies are born with numerous innate reflexes. These primitive reflexes include‚ The rooting reflex – when the corner of a babies mouth is stroked it will turn toward the stimulus

the other hand breaks easily because it is less viscous than albumin. The second part is the determination of osmotic effect in frog’s blood‚ mammalian blood and plant. The frog and mammalian bloods are subjected to different NaCl concentrations: 0.1%‚ 0.7% and 0.16 M‚ while the plant (Rheo discolor) is subjected to 0.3 M glucose. When the frog and mammalian bloods are subjected to 0.1 % NaCl‚ an influx of water occurs: the cells swell‚ the integrity of their membranes is disrupted‚ allowing the escape
