Introduction: We in the 1990s are slowly and inevitably being faced with the sociological and biological implications of impending genetic power. This power is analytical, particularly in cases such as the Human Genome Project, which aims to map out the genetic code for the entire human genetic composition. Additionally, this power is preventative and participatory,…

Photosynthesis is the most important part of the lively hood of humans and animals. Without photosynthesis, we would not be able to receive energy. We should be more appreciate of plants, without them we would not survive. This paper will explain the basic components require for photosynthesis, the role of chlorophyll, how energy is transferred,…

Hereditary breast cancer is a disease caused by mutations on breast cancer suppresser genes(ACCV Pg. 17). Mutations allow normal cells to divide abnormally(ACCV Pg. 13). Resulting cells divide faster as they do not specialise and form useless lumps of cells called malignant tumours(ACCV Pg. 13). Genetic Screening is the process where Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) fragments…

Benefits of stem cell research Essay Medical research has brought to the world many great improvements: cures for numerous types of illnesses, pain medications, and an infinite number of things that have changed the way people look at the scientific side of medical research. Along with the remarkable breakthroughs of medical research comes the cons…

Photosynthesis is the process by which chlorophyll-containing organisms – such as green plants, algae, and some bacteria – capture energy from light and convert it to chemical energy. For the process of photosynthesis to take place the organism must contain chloroplasts. Chlorophyll is responsible for the green color in plants and is also responsible for…

The Stem Cell Dilemma EssayEvery day, nearly 3,000 people die while waiting for an organ transplant (DAgnese). Moreover, 66,000 people are still on an organ donor list in the United States, few of which will ever see their name come up on that list (Improving). Many people believe nothing can be done about this sad…

The cell is one of the most basic units of life. There are millions of different types of cells. There are cells that are organisms onto themselves, such as microscopic amoeba and bacteria cells. And there are cells that only function when part of a larger organism, such as the cells that make up your…

A child is born everyday and without realizing it, the material that is routinely discarded after the birth could one day be life saving for that person, someone else in the family, or even a complete stranger. This material is the umbilical cord, and the blood contained within their vessels. One may wonder, why is…

Stem cells are primitive cells found in embryos, fetuses, and recently adults that can grow into 210 types of cells in the body. James A. Thomson, an embryologist at the University of Wisconsin, and John D. Gearhart of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine announced on Thursday, November 8 1998 that they and their…
