Table of Contents Abstract Introduction Methods Results Discussion References Abstract The main purpose of the lab report was to investigate the concept of genetic cross among Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies). The experiment was aimed at understanding how the Mendelian genetic principles are manifested in the breeding patterns of Drosophila. The laboratory experiment involved the reciprocation…

The structure and functions of genes is studied in biology under genetics and it is done at a molecular level. Nicholas Wade capture this in his article,’ from one Genome, many types of cells. But How?’ Wade attempts to explore the idea that several specialized cells have an identical genome yet on the other hand,…

Creating models of the processes that occur at the genetic level is a rather tricky process that may trigger convoluted results and even lead to erroneous assumptions. The alleged phenomenon of blending is one of the graphic examples of these misunderstandings. Although supported extensively by Aristotle and Hippocrates, it relies on a false assumption resulting…

Man, in all his uniqueness, has managed to conquer the world and its inhabitants for thousands of millennia now. Animals and plants have their own unique characteristics too, at least scientifically as well as biologically. Scientists and other theorists have been working round the clock to understand the origins and nature of these unique characteristics…

The documentary elucidates the topic of genetic engineering. It is explained why manipulations with genetic information are so important and how humanity may use them for its own benefit. The narrator describes, step by step, the importance of deciphering genetic codes using some examples to explain how the genetic mechanisms work, what information genes contain,…

He therefore carries out a background research to make predictions and then undertakes an empirical research to prove his hypothesis. The study applies…

Genetic studies have quite advanced over the last few years. Medical and biological researchers have made it possible for people to acquire precise information on their genetic makeup. Genetic testing is rapidly growing, and the health industry is contemplating using the approach as a preventative mechanism. Biologically, this development is a great success because it…

Before the discovery of Mendelian genetics, Aristotle and Hippocrates supported the concept of blending inheritance in explaining how organisms inherit traits. The concept of blending inheritance holds that genetic traits of parents randomly combine and generate intermediate traits in their respective offspring. However, the emergence of Mendelian genetics has rendered the concept of blending inheritance…

Table of Contents ARTs Cancer Gene Editing Xenotransplantation References ARTs Assisted reproductive technologies are designed to help infertile people or couples with difficulties conceiving a child to successfully initiate the pregnancy process. For example, one of the basic approaches is to use a donor egg or donor sperm cell, depending on which person has abnormal…
