it. Metaphors put a twist in daily language in that they are a unique way of describing a concept. There are common metaphors that we use everyday and not so common ones which are used specifically in some kind of field for example engineering. Since engineers usually work as a team to accomplish a goal‚ they use metaphors to communicate with each other exclusively. Metaphors everyday There are thousands of metaphors that are used almost unconsciously every day. They

Tissue engineering By Nathan. F Introduction Tissue Engineering is the use of a combination of cells‚ engineering and materials methods‚ and suitable biochemical and physio-chemical factors to improve or replace biochemical functions. The objective of tissue engineering is to create living body parts that will fully integrate with the recipient’s body. Tissue engineering mostly associated with applications that repair or replace portions of or whole tissues. For example bone‚ cartilage

Biology Essay Genetic Engineering‚ also called Genetic Modification‚ is the direct manipulation of an organism’s genome using biotechnology. An organism that is generated through genetic engineering is considered to be a genetically modified organism (GMO). Humans have altered the genomes of species for thousands of years through artificial selection and more recently mutagenesis. Genetic Engineering as the direct manipulation of DNA by humans outside breeding and mutations has only existed
