Essays on Genetics

Core Concept 1 talks about how children’s behavior is shaped from interaction with their genes and environment. Children are affected both by nature (environment) and nurture (home, community, beliefs, and values.) Since children are shaped by both biology and experience, they view life different. Because…

Abstract: Gene therapy is the introduction of normal genes into cells in place of missing or defective ones in which lead to disease development. There are two overarching forms of gene therapy; Germ Line which results in permanent change and elimination of disease inheritance and…

Many people are concerned with eating GM foods. However, the FDA doesn’t require testing and labeling of these foods so you don’t know what you are eating. This conflict should be watched because people and countries could be majorly affected by GMOs. Research shows that…

As I was creating my genogram, I was analyzing and reflecting on my lifestyle, and what contributed to the way I do things and see myself. I was considering the effect of genetics, referred to as nature, and environment, referred to as nurture, on my…

Detection of diverse serotypes of B. trehalosi has been attained from sheep with systemic pasteurellosis. Susceptibility findings of pasteurellae were more or less similar to the findings reported as earlier. Reduced responsiveness of aminoglycosides (amikacin and gentamicin) might be due to their selective therapeutic uses…

Sally Dunwoodie, head of the Embryology Laboratory at the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute in Sydney, and a professor at the University of New South Wales together with Kenro Kusumi, an associate professor in the School of Life Sciences in ASU’s College of Liberal Arts…

Abstract Study question: Can the assessment of genetic and epigenetic molecular marks provide information on the fertility competence of the male gamete? Summary answer: Aneuploidy assessment together with the estimation of specific gene mutations and function helps to predict the competence of the male gamete…

Introduction The term Sir. had derived from the word “”sir-two-ins”” in reference to the yeA.S.T Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Sir2 case homolog (North, Sinclair, 2007). The Sir., silent mating-type information regulation 2 (SIRTs) had a family of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD‏)+ dependent histone deacetylases. SIRTs had activated…

Consanguineous marriage is still high in Egypt (35.3%) mainly between first cousins (86%). However, the incidence varies by region. This illustrate the occurence of multifaceted phenotypes of inherited disorders, (Shawky, Elsayed et al. 2012). Consequently, more recurrent genetic diseases particularly in consanguineous marriages ought to…

Introduction The primary purpose of this experiment is to find the dominant and recessive allele of the Mung beans and the corn on the cob. After that, the focus shifts to the inheritance of single and double gene pairs from the parent genes. This experiment…
