Genetic Testing Essay Genetic testing is the analysis and examination of DNA‚ which is a line of code carrying instructions of your body’s function. Genetic testing reveals changes in the genes‚ usually things that will cause diseases and illnesses. Just because genetic testing provides a window of opportunity to prepare yourself from diseases‚ it cant really prevent an illness in some cases because it often really does nothing but give you a “maybe‚ maybe not”.

Discuss genetic explanations for aggression. Early research concentrated on chromosomal abnormalities but no specific genotype has been associated with aggression. Genes determine how much testosterone a person’s body produces and how quickly it circulates around their body. Genes also determine the synthesis of testosterone receptors‚ and how many and how sensitive such receptors are. The gene called monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) produces an enzyme which regulates the metabolism of serotonin in

DROSOPHILA GENETICS DROSOPHILA CULTURE We will study basic principles of Mendelian inheritance with the use of the fruit fly‚ Drosophila melanogaster [the name means “black-bodied fruit-lover”]. Drosophila was one of the first organisms to be studied genetically: its small size‚ short life cycle (10 ~14 days at 25oC)‚ high reproductive rate (an adult female can lay 400-500 eggs in 10 days)‚ and ease of culture and genetic manipulation have made it perhaps the best understood animal genetic system.
