mutation are permanent changes in nucleotide sequence in codons of the gene/ produced when DNA replicates/ alters the AA sequence in the polypeptide and therefore the structureand function of the polypeptide or protein/ may be harmful e.g. cystic fibrosis or beneficial e.g. antibiotic resistance in bacteria. (3) Roles in generating genetic diversity: Increases the number of alleles and so the range of possible genotypes and phenotypes in the population e.g. consider 1 gene with 2 alleles:- 2

Abortion: Pro Choice View Hong Chen Composition I Abortion is a growing issue in America among women and their right to reproduce children. Approximately one to three million abortions are done each year. Women get abortions for many reasons such as for rape‚ teen pregnancy and health reasons. Rape is one of many reasons that cause women to choose abortion to end their pregnancies. What to do about their pregnancy is mandatory‚ although many or them felt they were ending

is one that I do not see in many professions. Aside from my personal childhood pediatrician visits‚ my first significant interaction with nursing staff was at Boston Children’s Hospital. The nursing staff that took care of my older sister with Cystic Fibrosis always made her and my family feel comfortable. They attended not only to my sister’s care‚ but also made sure we were educated on what care was being provided and usually got us kids crack a smile or let out a laugh. The time is right now

Kenneth Reynolds C. Elegans Paper April 20‚ 2013 Dr. Yong Xiang C. Elegans – Wonderful Creatures of Science! We have been studying genetics recently in BIO and I have realized that I actually do find genetics really interesting‚ because of its complexity and probability. The different combinations and variables make it very interesting to me‚ an avid risk take and gambler‚ because of the unknown. Genetics make – up a huge portion of how we act‚ interact with others‚ our appearance entails

be the future of genetics‚ a new form of gene therapy known as CRISPR is one of the most revolutionary breakthroughs in history. The argument I would like to make is that although CRISPR has the capability to prevent serious disorders such as cystic fibrosis and Huntington’s disease‚ it is too dangerous given its novelty and safety and ethical concerns. Having discussed this technology in several classes‚ I have a strong understanding of both the potential benefits and repercussions associated with

Negative Although genetic engineering may seem like the key to a healthy‚ disease free population not enough is known about genetic engineering‚ and human genes to make it safe. The human genome is very complicated‚ often times one sequence of genes has control over multiple different physical attributes of a person‚ this means that by altering one gene sequence scientists could very easily accidentally alter multiple different attributes of humans. Also scientists have discovered that even when

Health Status A mixture of genetics and other factors can affect a child or young persons health. There maybe conditions such as Cystic Fibrosis (lung disease) sickle cell disease (abnormal red blood cells) diabetes etc that all have an impact‚ even general things like the common cold or viruses can have an affect on a child. Disability Conditions such as spina bifida and cerebral palsy
