Essays on Genetics

Forensic Science Forensic science is a branch of science that involves the use of genetic materials such as DNA to investigate and solve a crime and other legal situations. Some of the biological materials needed to determine a DNA match include semen, saliva, teeth, cells, bones, faeces, tissues and blood. The...

The Importance of Cells The existence of life forms called cells is not a new concept to mankind, though man may have been undermining its importance. Cells are the basic units of our existence as organisms. They are tiny units that serve as blocks with which our whole system is built....

The idea of eugenics is still not comprehendible. The research journal Molecular Human Reproduction states questions that many people still ask like, why are two genders needed for reproduction? How come millions of sperm are produced by the males daily? Steve Ramm, a famous evolutionary biologist from Bielefeld University answers...

Genetically modified organisms are dwelling organisms whose genetic whose sequencing has been manipulated with through genetic engineering. GMOs have been changed to face up to adverse impacts. However, there is evidence that connects GMOs with a number health problems and environmental issues. An Enviropig is a trademark for a genetically...

Researchers Determine the Benefits of Partial Fin-Clipping for Seahorses Researchers determined that Partial fin-clipping was indeed a beneficial instrument for tissue sampling in seahorses. The results of the study confirmed no significant impact of clipping a phase of the fin seahorses, whether long time period or short term, on their growth...

Gene Science and its Categories Gene science is a general term used to describe the find out about and use of genes found in DNA and is classified into two wide categories namely gene remedy and gene enhancement. Gene enhancement and therapy utilize gene science to enhance and replace genes respectively....

The rampantness of neuropsychiatric condition increases everyday with people. It is increasing with pressures of work and stress, and this puts exposed people more at risk of neuropsychiatric diseases. The combination of several variables causes the disorder of central nervous system (CNS) level. Causes of abnormal mood changes are idiopathic...

Eugenics and the Importance of Reproduction Eugenics is an important phenomenon before, during, and after the reproduction process. In his book "Sperm Wars: New insights from evolutionary biology", Steve Ramm, a famous evolutionary biologist from Bielefeld University, talks about the importance of the male and female gender to the reproduction and...

The Debate Around Gene Patents The patents for human genes include patents for genes belonging to human beings acquired in the laboratory from the human body isolated and manipulated. It would be absurd to patent a gene that is already on the human body, but I think the mechanism leading to...

For many years, science has been instrumental in presenting answers to many puzzling questions. The changes, embracement, and discoveries like the DNA and power have led to the realization of significant developments in technology that have a massive influence on the society. Science has been divided into specific branches that...

Cloning Cloning is a biotechnology used in coming up with one or greater copies of an exact individual. We do cloning for development, growing older and biomedical research. This type of technological know-how has been successfully used global in plants, animal, and human. Identical twins can be made in the lab...

The First Instance of Gene Editing in Somatic Cells The first instance where gene editing is to be permitted is where the cells are guided to alter the genetic effects in somatic cells. According to Baltimore, Baylis, Berg, Daley, Doudna, Lander, and Winnacker (2015), these are cells that cannot be transmitted...
