The liver plays a significant role in metabolism. According to the National Institute for health‚ it is stated‚ “The liver has many functions

Gene therapy is being currently developed in labs across the world‚ with the goal of eventually being able to alter a person’s genetic make up effectively and consistently. If the subject has a missing or defective gene‚ scientists are able to inactivate the mutated gene and transplant a normal healthy one. Should the mutated gene be responsible for the lack of production to a particular protein‚ gene therapy may be able to restore normal function of the polypeptide and essential save the cell and
Premium DNA Gene Genetics
The word gene comes from the word for origin’ in Greek. Genes are sections of DNA that determine the structure of a protein. They are the foundation of all life on earth. They form and decide the characteristics of every living creature and the genes that exist today are there because they have been successfully reproduced in the past. The DNA that determines the person that we grow into is created from half of each of our parents DNA. In the process of evolution certain genes have been eradicated
