The scene – It’s sunny and warm, a light breeze is blowing, and I’ve just been fertilized and watered, looking down at my long slender body, I’m sure I’ve had a growth spurt, I’ve definitely got bigger than those weeds over there, but what’s this……an angry mob……great, chopped down before even reaching my prime. This…

In this experiment, we are investigating the strength of the ratios discovered by Gregor Mendel in both the monohybrid and dihybrid cross. The ability to test these ratios stems from the use of Mendel’s law of segregation which states that during meiosis allele pairs will separate in gametes so one of each allele is present…

The world, as we all know is going into high technological advances and its going real fast! Things that we never imagine possible is now a reality. Babies formed out of experiments, genetic diseases being corrected, solutions are being uncovered for medical problems we never thought we could solve, new ways to treat diseases and…

Science has built a reputation for breaking boundaries.  Science never treads lightly along the great unexplored frontiers, whether those frontiers be space, sea, or any other object of wonder and speculation.  Yet perhaps humanity’s most enduring curiosity resides in itself. Whether one considers the human mind or the human body, no subject has remained as open…. or as…

Imagine a town. This town’s buildings were all the same and they looked identical to each other. The people living there all had perfect friendships and even acted the same way. Each person had the same morals and strived to be the same thing. The cars were the same and so on. Nothing would be…

Cri-du-chat syndrome gets its name from the French language meaning “cry of the cat.” It is called this because one of the symptoms is a high-pitched signature scream or cry that comes from infants with this syndrome. The cry comes from abnormal larynx development. Every chromosome has a p arm and a q arm that…

The Cystic Fibrosis GeneCystic fibrosis is an inherited autosomal recessive disease that exerts its main effects on the digestive system and the lungs. This disease is the most common lethal genetic disorder in Caucasians, affecting one out of 2,500. On the bioethical front, CF was the first human genetic disease to be cloned by geneticists….

What is a gene?According to the national institute for health and ‘TheBody. com” a gene is a unit of heredity.  The gene represents the smallest collection of DNA that can be demonstrated to transmit characteristics (traits)  to an organism’s offspring.Both sites are well established bodies involved in the science of physiology and health fields dealing…

In the beginning when the first Micro RNA lin – 4 was discovered, it was thought that it was the only Micro RNA. This Micro RNA was acknowledged by genetics in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. This Micro RNA is related to the development of the creature with time. Quite interesting to know about this gene…

In 1979, the protein p53 was discovered, adhering to the SV40 ( simian virus ) big T antigen. However, because it was found overly in its mutant signifier, it was ab initio believed to be an transforming gene. Not until ten old ages subsequently in 1989 was the protein determined to be major factor in…
