1. Invasion of Privacy The wrongful intrusion into a person’s private activities by other individuals or by the government. Tort law protects one’s private affairs with which the public has no concern against unwarranted exploitation or publicity that causes mental suffering or humiliation to the average person. The right to be left alone is not always superior to the rights of the public and it may or may not exist or may exist to a lesser degree with regard to the life of a public figure‚ such

Transgenic Animals and Plants What is a transgenic animal/plant? A transgenic animal or plant is one that has a foreign gene (called a "transgene") inserted into its DNA. Transgenic animals and plants are sometimes called "genetically modified organisms" or GMO ’s for short. What is a transgene? A transgene is the foreign gene that has been moved from one organism into a new organism by genetic engineering. For example‚ a bacterial gene that is inserted into a plant ’s DNA would be a

Genetic engineering in general Pros|Cons| With the discovery of DNA and unravelling the genetic code it contains‚ molecular biologists have finally come close to understanding what determines the form and function of organisms and can use this to design organisms at will. This is illustrated by the experiments on the transgenic fruit fly which has eyes on its antennae (Walter Gehring‚ Basel Biocentre‚ Switzerland. see the year 1994 in http://www.ifgene.org/history.htm ). This new technology will

pro-inflammation mediators‚ such as interleukin 8‚ which plays a major role in the strong inflammatory response facilitating further bacterial invasion. Most of the virulence determinates responsible for invasion of epithelial cells are encoded on a 213 kb plasmid that is unique to virulent Shigella. The bacterial replication time is approximately 40 minutes and the incubation period for disease onset is only 1-7 days with an average of 3 days. Shigella has no animal reservoir‚ so infection always results from

but as it matures it will stain gram negative. Tetanus can be very fatal in infants and the elderly‚ especially if not treated right away. Virulence Factors: C. tetani produces two exotoxins‚ tetanolysin and tetanospasmin‚ which are encoded by plasmid born genes. Tetanospasmin is a neurotoxin that blocks the inhibitory nerve impulses by interfering with the release of neurotransmitters which in turn leads to a spastic paralysis. Disease

------------------------------------------------- Genetically modified crops Genetically modified crops (GM crops‚ or biotech crops) are plants‚ the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineeringtechniques‚ to resist pests and agents causing harm to plants and to improve the growth of these plants to assist in farmers efficiency. Genetic engineering techniques are much more precise[1] than mutagenesis (mutation breeding) where an organism is exposed to radiation or chemicals to create

Lab Practicum‚ Micro 200‚ study guide When you did your hand wash experiment‚ you decided a variable to test‚ say‚ hot vs cold water‚ you called this variable an “experimental variable” since it was the variable you were testing experimentally. In order to get meaningful data‚ you need to keep other things the same‚ for example the washing time had to be the same for both‚ you called the washing time a _Control_______ variable. Through the semester‚ you have used two bacteria that produce
