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...
Genetics Option 3: Darwin's Perspective According to Darwin, the survival of a species is determined by the degree of strength of its members. Thus, the "fittest" in terms of physical prowess as well as to a degree mental capacity survives. Human b Continue Reading...
Race Personally, I define race as the different tribes of the earth. In my definition, race has a strong affiliation with color. In terms of color, there are a couple of different races such as Blacks, Whites, Asians (who are more or less yellow), N Continue Reading...
We conceivably create children who are perfect genetically -- but never have another Einstein, a man who had weaknesses as well as strengths. Hidden in such notions is the idea that people with any kind of difference or disability are somehow defec Continue Reading...
