essay will talk about about how characters were genetically modified. Genetic engineering is the altercation of the DNA in an organism genomes. Scientists pick a gene that they will alter‚ remove the gene or add a new gene. They split the DNA down the center of the double helix and then pair it with the suitable chemical. Then the gene is transferred into the new organism. Genetic engineering is used in the movie GATTACA to genetically modified Anton‚ the main characters brother Vincent‚ a woman

identical copies of existing organisms or object. The copied object has the same genetic makeup as the original‚ the copied material is a clone. Scientist have cloned many biological materials such as genes‚ cells‚ tissues‚ and whole organism like dolly the sheep. There is also natural clones‚ some plants and single celled organisms like bacteria make genetically identical off springs through a process called asexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction‚ a new organism is made from a copy of a single

Genes are molecular units of heredity which encode for different types of traits. Each organism has traits that are defined phenotypically and can be studied though the field of genetics. Genetics is the study of genes‚ heredity‚ and how they cause variation in different living organisms. Scientists study genetic pattern in different organisms to determine the different trends in a certain population. In every organism‚ we obtain one allele from each parent. Alleles are types of genes that can be identified

Causes and spread of infection. 1.1 Viruses are pieces of nucleic acid wrapped in a thin coat of protein that replicate only within cells of living host. Bacteria are one cell micro-organisms with simple cellular organizations whose nucleus lacks a membrane. Parasites may be protozoa‚ yeast or multi cellular organisms such as fungi or worms that live in or on a host to obtain nourishment without providing any benefit to the host. Fungi there are many different varieties of fungi‚ and we eat quite

All living organisms are composed of one or more cells‚ and like any living organism‚ cells are made up of smaller structures that help them function. In the context of cells‚ these smaller structures are referred to as organelles and each organelle has its own unique function that has developed over time. While we are typically aware of how these organelles function‚ how they evolved raises several questions. The main model for how eukaryotic cells evolved over time is the endosymbiont theory. This

I HOLD THE FUTURE: PRESERVING THE PHILIPPINES BIODIVERSITY The sum of all the different species of animals‚ plants‚ fungi‚ and microbial organisms living on Earth and the variety of habitats in which they live is called Biological Diversity or also known as the Biodiversity. Scientists estimate that upwards of 10 million—and some suggest more than 100 million—different species inhabit the Earth. Each species is adapted to its unique niche in the environment‚ from the peaks of mountains to the depths

guessed‚ or already knew‚ and may not be all that interested to know‚ anyway). Microbiology is actually made up of several sub-disciplines. Microbiology‚ one of the fastest growing areas of science‚ is the study of organisms so small that they must be viewed with a microscope. These organisms are primarily bacteria‚ yeasts‚ molds‚ and viruses. Many of the most important scientific discoveries of recent years have been made by microbiologists: since 1910‚ one-third of the Nobel Prizes in medicine and

Ubiquity of Microbes Bacteria are the most widely distributed organisms in the biosphere. They are found in all different types of soil‚ water and even in the bodies of other living organisms. Every single place that humans have explored on the Earth‚ have shown to contain microbes. Bacteria are living organisms and like all living organisms‚ they require energy and carbon sources in order to metabolize and reproduce. And like all living organisms they respond to changes in their environment. Ubiquity

Life beyond Earth does exist. The life that exists beyond Earth is only simple microbial life. In order for complex life to exist many specific events would have had to happen which is highly unlikely. Spacecrafts have found regions of other planets that appear to be able to sustain simple life. Simple life forms have been found on Earth in extreme conditions never thought possible. On someplace other than Earth simple life forms do exist. If complex life were to occur on places other than

Natural Selection Paper Natural selection is considered one of the most important processes for a variety of species and the environment which allows the fittest organisms to produce offspring. To prevent a species from extinction‚ it is necessary for them to adapt to the surrounding environment. The species which have the ability to adapt to new surroundings will be able to pass their genes through reproduction. Within the process of natural selection‚ it is possible for the original genetic make-up
