There are no federal laws completely banning human cloning in the United States. There are regulations against using federal funds for cloning research.
A United Nations declaration was adopted, calling for the worldwide ban of human cloning.
What causes genetic disorders are permanent changes in the DNA sequence?
Bike riding drunk. You will fall and and hit your head on the same rock your bike hit. This did happen to my uncle.
How do you change the genes of a child?
Exposure to mutagens, such as chemicals, radiation ect. May I ask why you would want to do this?
How can genetic counselors predict genetic disorders?
Well certain disorders are found on certain chromosomes and on certain parts of the chromosome. How they find out how, i don't know. But if some pieces of a specific chromosome they can predict they will have a certain disorder
Is it possible to clone a human?
Yes. It can be done in the same way as did in sheeps,cow etc. But human cloning is legally banned in many countries.
Doctors call this condition syndactyly. Webbed fingers or toes can be part of Turner's Syndrome, which is a chromosomal disorder that affects only females. It involves the absence of all or part of one of the sex chromosomes. Normal female chromosomes are expressed as XX. In Turner's Syndrome, the sex chromosomes are expressed as XO, to indicate that there is a chromosome missing. More commonly though, syndactyly is caused by a genetic defect, and is therefore found to run in families. It is found in both males and females who have the normal arrangement of sex chromosomes: XX for females; XY for males. There are five different types of syndactyly which are classified according to which fingers or toes are involved. This condition can be corrected by surgery, which often involves a small skin graft from another part of the body. With the milder types of syndactyly, surgery can be considered elective (that is, not strictly necessary.) However, when fusion of the fingers or toes is extensive, or when the fusion will cause deformity as the fingers and hands grow, surgery is necessary.
Why is engineering tolerance important?
Because you can count on parts to not be perfect. So if you want them all to fit, the need some room for the grease.
Describe three ways genetic diseases are caused?
1. (1) Produced by an abnormality in, or a mutation of the genetic code in a single gene; (2) Caused by several abnormal genes (Producing so-called polygenic diseases); or (3) Caused by the abnormal presence or absence of an entire chromosome or by alteration in the structure of chromosomes.
What kind of disorder is diabetes type 2?
Diabetes type 2 is a metabolic disorder, caused by insulin resistance in the cells of the body, combined with insufficient insulin formation. It is quite a separate disorder than diabetes type 1, which is caused by an autoimmune reaction that destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
What is the genetic composition of an organism?
A genome of an organism is described by all of the organism's hereditary information. Anthing that the organism gets from strictly hereditary sources are considered the genome type of the organism.
1. The nucleus in animal and plant cells contains the chromosomes. In bacteria, the single circular chromosome is in the cytoplasm.
2. The DNA in plant and animal cells is double stranded; in bacteria it is mostly single stranded.
They all started with a simple one celled molecule
Why are pedigree helpful in determining genetic disorders?
The genetic counselor can use a pedigree to see which previous generations had inherited disorders or were carriers of inherited disorders. This can be used to determine whether the parent is a carrier of an inherited disorder or completely free of it, (unless the parent clearly has the disorder), which can be used to determine the chance of the inherited disorder being passed onto the children.
Why is cloning considered asexual?
Sexual reproduction requires DNA from two members of the same species to create new life. One male and one female. Cloning only requires DNA from only one source to create new life. Asexual reproduction (in nature) also produces new life with DNA from only one source.
A change in the genetic material that produces variation in a species may be the result of?
immigration, mutation and sexual reproduction.
What mutagens may produce genetic disorders?
nicotine in tobacco from cigarettes... can make cells mutate which is cancer
No. Back when linguistics was really first getting its start in the 19th century, there were some theories along these lines. Grimm's Law, for example, where voiceless stops became fricatives, was once believed to have been caused by Germans being out of breath from running up and down the mountains all the time. Alternately, it could have been caused by a tendency towards earwax buildup which made it difficult for them to hear, which would be a possible genetic factor.
Although Grimm's Law is in and of itself not an accent, phonological changes over time do help to differentiate accents from one another. However, there are other theories for why one group of people speaks one way and one another. The truth of the matter is linguists aren't entirely sure.
What is known is that your dialect is impacted by a large number of factors. Your parents' dialect(s), the region you live in/grew up in, your friends' dialects, et cetera. Genetics do not play a role.
Explain the genetic malfunction that leads to Down syndrome?
Nothing really leads to Down Syndrome, it is just an extra chromosome in the 21st pair. (otherwise known as Trisomy 21)
Why is the ELISA test so sensitive?
It has many reason that may be possible. 1. Stability of Elisa kit. 2. Type of Elisa kit ... Example. Rat IL-1 must use with cell rat .... but can use with the other depend cross reactivity of Elisa kit. 3. Right method will show good standard curve. (r2 almost 1 ) if not it's wrong. 4. The concentration used of treated in cell is not appropiate .
Yes it is genetic. however just because one of your ancestors died from it does not mean you'll ever get the tumor. It just means you're more likely to get it. On the other hand just because none of your ancestors got it does not mean you can't get it. very litle is known about the causes of this disease but the chances of you getting it are 3 in 100,000.
