Genetic engineering in general Pros|Cons| With the discovery of DNA and unravelling the genetic code it contains‚ molecular biologists have finally come close to understanding what determines the form and function of organisms and can use this to design organisms at will. This is illustrated by the experiments on the transgenic fruit fly which has eyes on its antennae (Walter Gehring‚ Basel Biocentre‚ Switzerland. see the year 1994 in http://www.ifgene.org/history.htm ).

A web application or web app is an application that is accessed via the Internet or an Intranet. Web applications are popular due to ubiquity of the client. The ability to update and maintain web applications without distributing and installing software on potentially thousands of client computers are key reasons for their popularity. A significant advantage of building web applications

Its ubiquity makes international roaming very common between mobile phone operators‚ enabling subscribers to use their phones in many parts of the world. GSM differs from its predecessors in that both signaling and speech channels are digital‚ and thus is considered a second generation (2G) mobile phone system. This has also meant that data communication was easy to build into the system. The ubiquity of the GSM standard has been an advantage to both

He argued that the window for gaining competitive advantage through IT implementation is closing‚ and that the best way to seek advantage in the future is to manage IT costs and risks. Do you agree with Carr that as information technology’s power and ubiquity grows‚ its strategic importance diminishes? Why and why not? I agree

This status‚ rivalling even the official language of the country‚ seems to have sprung from a number of sources‚ not the least the general impression that English has become the new lingua franca. The prestige and encroaching ubiquity of English has contributed to it ’s increasingly high position within academia.

Biogenesis is important for the germ theory of disease because after scientists proved that microorganisms could not spontaneously generate by heating and blocking microorganisms from entering and leaving alone for months‚ still no microorganisms were found. They proved that living cells can only come from already existing cells. Scientists then studied how microorganisms can cause physical and chemical changes in organic materials and thought they may act similar with plants and

Plants‚ some protozoa‚ & alegae) -microorganism which use carbon dioxide as a carbon source and light energy from the environment to make their own food. 2. Chemoautotrophs: -microorganism which uses carbon dioxide as a carbon source and catabolizes organic molecules for energy. 3. Photoheterotrophs: -microorganism which requires
