Runs Family It Runs in the Family What is the chance that Melissa will develop HD and what could she expect if she did develop the disease? Huntington's Disease is caused by a dominant mutation in a gene, meaning that if one or both of the gene th Continue Reading...
At the molecular level, the mutation in the normal ApoA1 is because of a single amino acid substitution at the position 173, cysteine amino acid substitutes or replaces the arginine amino acid. Because of the presence of an extra cysteine, a cystein Continue Reading...
Mitosis vs. Meiosis Mitosis and meiosis are both processes of cell reproduction. Mitosis is the process by which eukaryotes reproduce asexually and also how multi-celled eukaryotes reproduce cells for bodily growth. Meiosis is the process by which Continue Reading...
To elaborate, he used his 'transistor' to build logic circuits that program each cell's behavior. For instance, he was able to tell a cell to change color in the presence of both a specified two enzymes. Remarked Kleem (online): "Endy envisions plan Continue Reading...
living things are characterized by the following seven characteristics namely mobility, respiration, excretion, sensitivity or response to external stimulus, growth, feeding, and reproduction. Though there may be variations between animal and plant Continue Reading...
Genomes and Comparative Genomics Over the last decade we have achieved rapid strides in the field of genetic engineering. The study of molecular biology has been fairly advanced mainly aided by the unprecedented growth in information technology. Tod Continue Reading...
Carbon cycles through the ecosystem between the atmosphere, organisms (such as producers, herbivores, and carnivores) and decomposers. This natural cycle maintains a somewhat constant level of carbon in the atmosphere. The burning of fossil fuels rel Continue Reading...

and, that is, for how much longer should this experimentation be tolerated given the animal suffering involved and the deliberate creation of abominations of nature. Currently, many countries around the world have banned the use of reproductive, hu Continue Reading...
Genetic Engineering The process of altering genes, or genetic engineering, has become a more heated subject as science and technology continue to evolve. In fact, with DNA technology, genetic modifications within plants and other organisms has becom Continue Reading...
Disease Control. You have been called to a remote area of Uganda to study a mysterious disease that is causing respiratory ailments in a small village. You isolate a bacterium from several patients that seems like a good candidate for the pathogen. Continue Reading...
Mitochondrial Diseases A gene is basically a one dimension sequence of nucleotides that signals for the production of a protein. (Reynaud, 2010) The protein itself is merely a sequence of amino acids arranged in a specific manner. The sequence of th Continue Reading...
Importance of locust guts for this Study Prediction of the increase in the worldwide energy consumption by 54% between 2001 and 2025 has led to the considerable interest in the production of bioenergy to meet the future needs. Energy derived from Continue Reading...
James Dewey Watson The Discovery of DNA was one of the most important discoveries in the history of Humanity, and it was accomplished by James Watson and Francis Crick. Their discovery of the structure of DNA allowed scientists to begin to understan Continue Reading...
woman entered the National Institutes of Health Research Hospital in Bethesda Maryland with a serious, but fairly routine infection; however the subsequent events were to prove anything but routine. The article titled "Tracking a Hospital Outbreak o Continue Reading...
The combination of this information, however, forms a firm foundation for scientific research. Archeology has long been a laboratory for evolutionary studies and the field of physical anthropology has relied heavily upon archeology for documenting Continue Reading...
During the gene decoding process the double stranded DNA splits up to reveal a single strand from which the base sequence of the gene is copied onto a single stranded nucleic acid known as the messenger ribonucleic acid or mRNA. This implies that we Continue Reading...
Transposable Elements and Horizontal Gene Transfer Jumping Genes Hybrid dysgenesis in fruit flies of the genus Drosophila results when males carrying transposable elements (TEs) mate with non-carrier females (reviewed by Blauth et al., 2009). This Continue Reading...
The failure of human hamster fusion in the presence of anti-human izumo antibody clearly showed that Human izumo protein is essential for fertilization. This study however has raised some new questions. The difference in fertilization capacities be Continue Reading...
Genetic diversity: Discuss the issues related to genetic diversity: mutations, sexual reproduction, migration, and population size. Under most circumstances, when "an individual possesses a trait or traits that allow it to compete better for food, s Continue Reading...
Another alternative strategy to gene therapy is exon skipping which differs from gene therapy in that it focuses on the gene transcript rather than the gene itself (McClorey et al., 2005). Exon skipping prevents the transcription of the exon contai Continue Reading...
The RHDl gene product appears to be necessary for proper initiation of root hairs, whereas the RHDS, RHD3, and RHD4 gene products are required for normal hair elongation. These results demonstrate that root hair development in Arabidopsis is amenabl Continue Reading...
