    A graded potential in physiology‚ is described as local changes in membrane potential that occur in varying grades or degrees of magnitude or strength. When compared to graded potential‚ an action potential is described as brief‚ rapid‚ large (100mV) changes in membrane potential during which the potential actually reverses so that the inside of the excitable cell transiently becomes more positive than the outside. As with a graded potential‚ an action potential involves only a small portion of

    AmirAshkan Semyary By using the techniques of genetic engineering scientists are able to modify genetic materials so that a particular gene of interest from one cell can be incorporated into a different cell. It is necessary to obtain a gene to modify genetic material. First a scientist isolates plasmid DNA from bacteria and DNA carrying a gene of interest from cells of another organism‚ such as an animal. A piece of DNA containing the gene is inserted into a plasmid‚ producing recombinant DNA

    Genetic Modification Genetic modification is the same as genetic engineering and genetic manipulation‚ which is the use of modern technology to change or alter the genetic code of an organism. Genetic modification includes using genes from one organism and inserting them into another‚ however‚ genetic modification can also be altering the original gene of the organism without changing the genetic codes. Therefore a (GMO) Genetically Modified Organism is one whose genes were altered. Genetic modification
