Microbiology is a field of science which typically is divided into several areas such as: bacteriology‚ virology‚ parasitology and immunology. The goal of microbiology is to increase the specific knowledge of a known microorganism and by extension counter the spread of harmful microorganisms and to learn practical applications of research results. A microbiologist studies the structure‚ metabolism‚ genetics and ecology of microorganisms such as bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi or algae. A microbiologist

Tutorial #3 1. The discovery of the cell occurred in 1665. The cell has made great progress in the discovery of how humans and other organisms work. 2. The discovery of genetic material in DNA occurred in 1865. This allowed us to determine different traits in mammals. As well as how we can determine different traits‚ and the percent chance of obtaining these traits. 3. In 1885 the cell culture technique was first developed. This allows us to view cells outside of their environment

Genetic Modified Food " Genetic modification exists by changing an organismʼs DNA under a genetical engineering responsibility. In order to create new resistant flavored food‚ genetic modification may be used. However‚ this contemporary method hasʼt been tested sufficiently. Lack of experiment causes argues all over the world. Not to put environmental health‚ which is the necessary for all beings‚ at risk‚ genetic modification should be banned.

From 1852 to 1933 H. influenza was thought to be the cause of influenza until its etiology was done and they discovered that it was really bacterial influenza that caused it. H. influenza does cause many other diseases. It states on Wikipedia that “H. influenza

There is a continuous debate about whether viruses are alive or not. Viruses are what makes you sick such as Influenza‚ Ebola‚ HIV‚ Mumps‚ and the common cold. Some scientists argue that viruses are not alive. Yet‚ there have been some new studies that show that viruses may in fact be alive. After finding out the facts‚ you can decide if viruses are living. Many scientists are more willing to accept the theory that viruses are not alive. The main piece of evidence that supports this theory is that
