essay is based on a reading from the December 1999 exam: an essay: “Getting Close to the Machine” by Ellen Ullman. Why do we have computers? Computers are invented in order to facilitate the satisfaction of our needs. We want to satisfy our needs daily and computers are composed of our thoughts and of how we would realize the action performed by the computer. In Ellen Ullman’s “Getting Close to the Machine”‚ the effects and compositions of a programmed computer is clearly illustrated through many

How do we know we know what each individual gene does? One way to investigate the function of a gene is to just remove the gene and analyze what happens to the organism. Let’s say we have a gene of unknown function in the human genome‚ an unidentified gene. First‚ compare it to other genes to see what similar sequences they have‚ if they code some similar sequences they might code for similar functions. However‚ if the gene the unidentified gene codes for something different we have seen before this

since it is an ever mutating mutation‚ it is hard to control. Chemo and surgery are the most well-known treatments for cancer‚ but gene therapy is something that is being used. Gene therapy is where a tumor suppressing gene is cloned. We decided to emphasize on the BRCA1 gene. The purpose of this research is to discover new techniques in genetic cloning of the
