Tay-Sachs Disease? Tay-Sachs disease is a fatal genetic lipid storage disorder in which harmful quantities of a fatty substance called ganglioside GM2 build up in tissues and nerve cells in the brain. The condition is caused by insufficient activity of an enzyme called beta-hexosaminidase A that catalyzes the biodegradation of acidic fatty materials known as gangliosides. Gangliosides are made and biodegraded rapidly in early life as the brain develops. Infants with Tay-Sachs disease appear to

1. Genetic cloning is one way of studying the specific proteins involved in cell division. A gene contains the instructions for how to make a protein. By mutating a gene‚ the protein’s shape‚ size and function could all be affected. Mutating a gene changes its instructions. Once a mutated gene is created and incorporated into a cell’s DNA‚ the cell replicates‚ creating many cells containing the mutant gene. The cells with the changed gene can then be compared to normal cells. For starters‚ you must

Genetic Drift There are two types of genetic drift‚ the bottleneck effect and the founder effect. Genetic drift is a term that refers to changes in allele frequencies. These changes happen by chance and cannot be predicted. Let’s look at both types of genetic drift. The first genetic drift type we will look at is the bottleneck effect. Genetic drift can affect real world organisms through a mechanism called a population bottleneck. This is when a large population is slashed and

Genetic Manipulation: The Benefits of its Discovery There have been more than 50 biotech foods that have been examined by the FDA and have been found to be as safe as conventional foods. These foods include canola oil‚ corn‚ papaya‚ potatoes‚ and tomatoes. But this is not the only field in which genetic manipulation has been used. Nonscientists tend to believe genetic manipulation is said to be “playing God” but it is a very beneficial science that changed the world. To get a better understanding
