Genetic Modify Organisms Genetic Engineering Today many scientist use “genetic engineering” a new technology that manipulates the genes of many plants‚ bacteria and animals. This organisms are called genetic modified organism (GMOs) because their genetic material (DNA) has been changed in a way that it doesn’t occur naturally‚ it alters the organism’s genetic material through adding‚ deleting or changing the segments in the DNA. This technology is also referred to as "biotechnology" or "recombinant

Tay-Sachs is a rare genetic disorder that slowly destroys nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord and this disease effects millions of people (Tay-Sachs GHR). Tay-Sachs can’t be spread as it’s a genetic disorder. It is caused by a genetic mutation in the HEXA genes (Tay-Sachs GHR). People who have Tay-Sachs have problems with the enzyme called beta hexosamidase A and this enzyme is supposed to clean up the buildup of the molecule called GM2 ganglioside within cells but if it doesn’t it leads to

Probably‚ applied genetics’ most impacts on society are as a result of genetic tests. In general‚ genetic tests seek to detect some feature of a person’s genetic constitution. This feature can be a disease causing mutation or a marker DNA sequence used to detect presence of another gene. Obviously these procedures used for testing the status of DNA‚ RNA or chromosomes are included in genetic tests. What is more it is possible to include some protein based tests and classical medical examinations

Biology March 15‚ 2013 Genetic Disorder Assignment (Colon Cancer) Cancer is when cells divide only when they are needed to keep our bodies functioning properly; the mechanisms that regulate cell growth stop working and cells divide out of control to form tumors. When cancer develops in the cells lining the colon in the first part of the large intestine‚ it’s called Colon cancer. FAP (familial adenomatous polyposis) and HNPCC (hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer) are inherited in autosomal

Genetic Discrimination Based on Testing For "Harmful" Genes Eugenics is a social philosophy which advocates the improvement of human hereditary traits through various forms of intervention. The goals have been to create healthier‚ more intelligent people‚ lessen human suffering and save society ’s resources. Sir Frances Galton‚ introduced the term "eugenics"‚ and is regarded as the founder of the modern science eugenics (Bennett). Earlier means of achieving these goals focused on selective breeding

POPULATION GROWTH The absence of virtually any reliable current demographic data has not prevented national and international bodies from generating estimates and projections of population and population growth in Nigeria. The World Bank estimate of Nigeria’s 1990 population was 119 million‚ with an estimated annual growth rate of 3.3 percent. Although other sources differed on the exact figure‚ virtually all sources agreed that the annual rate of population growth in the country had increased from

Is immigration the solution to population ageing ? Population ageing took place‚ without any exception‚ in all industrialized countries all along the XXth century. Initially it was not a problem for European societies because it had a positive effect on economic growth. Today‚ Eurostat estimates that the over 64 population is very likely to rise from 15% to 22% y 2025 and this will cause a shrink of the working-age population of over 50 million people by 2050 and even if this process will

China’s Large Population With the rapid development of science and technology‚ population and development have further become important issues‚ which are the general subjects of international community. By the end of 2008‚ China has reached a population of almost 1.35billion (excluding the population of Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions and Taiwan Province)‚ accounting for about 21% of the world’s population. China has the largest and one of the densest population in the world
