The Ethics of Genetically Modified Organisms Genetic engineering has become a seriously debated concern in society over the last three centuries. As scientists become closer to finding a way to accomplish it with new technology and less risks‚ the increasing concerns grow. People all over the world are looking for a way to eliminate disease‚ expand lifetimes‚ and preserve resources. When looking at the genetic engineering of many important factors in society such as religion‚ laws‚ and societal

The Human Being—A Complex Organism Human beings are complex and special organisms as there is a complex organisation of cells in the human body. The organisation in the human body is summarised as follows: Cells—> Tissues—> Organs—> Systems—> Organism. The same type of cells which carry out a specific function are organised into a tissue. For examples‚ a group of muscle cells form a muscle tissue while a group of nerve cells form a nerve tissue. They are organised to work together to perform

Genetically Modified Organisms The Human genome is known to be the sequencing of about twenty thousand five hundred thousand genes that make up our human DNA‚ or the building block that tells our cells what to do. The government created project that is named the Human Genome Project started in 1990’s‚ and is trying to pick apart at the three billion chemical base pairs in a DNA strand. The full set of the information present in the form of the genes in living organism then forms its genome

The goal is to introduce a new desirable trait to a plant that does ordinarily occur in the species. Desirable characteristics include resistance to environmental conditions‚ resistance to diseases and specific pests and production of a particular nutrient. Genetic

Negative feedback in living organisms Negative feedback is a principle which is used by the body in order to return systems to its normal level; it does this by turning the corrective measures off. Homeostasis uses the principle of negative feedback in order to maintain a constant internal environment. There are a number of different examples of negative feedback such as thermoregulation‚ regulation of blood glucose and the regulation of water potential. The control of the heartbeat can also use
