Genetic Engineering

The process is called nuclear transfer and the resulting product is a GMO, (Genetically modified organism)

1. awsome :) iLy

It is known as their genome.

One example is Huntington's Disease. Carried on a dominant gene, it causes deterioration of the central nervous system, affecting movement, swallowing, personality, etc.

cells contain the genatic substances or better known as the chromosomes which gives a person his character, shape size and everything.

unfortunately in Pakistan there is not much scope of genetic engineering however abroad researches in this field of science are conducted on vast scales and job opportunities and research work abroad is also excellent and good.

in Pakistan genetic engineering is still in its premature phase and if you like me are interested in genetic enginnering then you should consider to go abroad for study and other work related to it

Scans people eyes for vision. Collects blood before able to enter certain buildings. Urine test for hiring.

Chromosomes are long, wound up strands of the genetic material, DNA.

advantages :

1. Disease could be prevented by detecting people/plants/animals that are genetically prone to certain hereditary diseases, and preparing for the inevitable. Also, infectious diseases can be treated by implanting genes that code for antiviral proteins specific to each antigen.

2. Another of genetic engineering is that diseases could be prevented by detecting people that are genetically prone to certain hereditary diseases, and preparing for the inevitable. As well as preventing disease, with genetic engineering infectious diseases can be treated by implanting genes that code for antiviral proteins specific to each antigen

3. Animals and plants can be 'tailor made' to show desirable characteristics. Genes could also be manipulated in trees for example, to absorb more CO2 and reduce the threat of global warming.

4. Genetic Engineering could increase genetic diversity, and produce more variant alleles which could also be crossed over and implanted into other species. It is possible to alter the genetics of wheat plants to grow insulin for example.

5. Another advantage of genetic engineering is that animals and plants can be made to have desirable characteristics which could help solve some of the world's problems. For example in trees, genes could be manipulated to absorb more carbon dioxide. This would help reduce global warming, and thus solve one of the biggest problems earth faces.

disadvantages.

1. Nature is an extremely complex inter-related chain consisting of many species linked in the food chain. Some scientists believe that introducing genetically modified genes may have an irreversible effect with consequences yet unknown.

2. Genetic engineering borderlines on many moral issues, particularly involving religion, which questions whether man has the right to manipulate the laws and course of nature.

3. Another reason why people think that using genetically modified crops and plants is a disadvantage is that they think it will increase our reliance on pesticides, which have a harmful effect on the environment.

4. Another disadvantage of Genetic Engineering is Genetic engineering borderlines on many moral issues, particularly involving religion, which questions whether man has the right to manipulate the laws and course of nature. Also it brings into question Darwin's theory of "the survival of the fittest", if this theory has worked over the last 20 centuries , why change it? ...

experimental 'breakthroughs' made possible by genetic engineering.

1. At the Roslin Institute in Scotland, scientists successfully cloned an exact copy of a sheep, named 'Dolly'. This was the first successful cloning of an animal, and most likely the first occurrence of two organisms being genetically identical. Note : Recently the sheep's health has deteriorated detrimentally

2. Scientists successfully manipulated the genetic sequence of a rat to grow a human ear on its back. (Unusual, but for the purpose of reproducing human organs for medical purposes)

Most controversially, and maybe due to more liberal laws, an American scientist is currently conducting tests to clone himself.

There are 22 autosomal chromosomes and 2 sex chromosomes in humans. In all the other chromosomes, the homologous pairs match up genetic loci. However, in human sex chromosomes the X and Y chromosome are different (with the X chromosome being much larger and the Y chromosome carrying genes that cause "maleness").

Someone with an X and a Y chromosome is a male because he has a Y chromosome that carries the genes that code for "maleness". Females "lack" this Y chromosome, and thus show characteristic female phenotypes.

Molecular bases

Things that kill the organism, such as, immature lungs at birth.

A western blot is done by immobilizing cellular proteins on a thin membrane (usually PVDF or nitrocellulose) and detecting them with antibodies to specific proteins.

Briefly, cells are lysed, proteins are resolved on a gel, then proteins are transferred to a membrane, and finally the proteins are detected by enzyme-conjugated antibodies.

Since genetic engineering involves the manipulation of genes, genetics is the utmost importance in genetic engineering or any form of genetic technology. The knowledge of the genetics must be present for experiments to work.

If something goes wrong, it could turn out all deformed and be kind of like an evil scientist project or something. The person or animal can go through mental problems, depression, etc. Plus think about this: Imagine you seeing yourself growing up and doing the things you use to do as a kid. Cloning is just crazy and stupid. Then the scientists or whatever could use the clones for bad things who knows.. But I think cloning is whack. Lol!

pedigree

Condensed genetic material or double stranded chromatin is a chromosome. Chromosomes are long strands of DNA tightly wrapped around histone 'beads' which help to pack it down to fit within the cell. The cells of your body are absolutely tiny, but inside every one of them is close to 2 metres of DNA, so it's absolutely necessary to pack it down as small as possible. The tight structure of chromosomes allows for this, and also aids in making mitosis simpler for the cell.

There is no treatment for progeria. That is genetic aberration and not a disease.

The Blueprint of Life Every cell in your body has the same "blueprint" or the same DNA. Like the blueprints of a house tell the builders how to construct a house, the DNA "blueprint" tells the cell how to build the organism. Yet, how can a heart be so different from a brain if all the cells contain the same instructions? Although much work remains in genetics, it has become apparent that a cell has the ability to turn off most genes and only work with the genes necessary to do a job. We also know that a lot of DNA apparently is nonsense and codes for nothing. These regions of DNA that do not code for proteins are called "introns", or sometimes "junk DNA". The sections of DNA that do actually code from proteins are called "exons".

Evolution is defined as genetic change inherited by offspring. The study of genetics and population genetics provides insight into the mechanisms of evolution.

Type your answer here... the degenracy of code means there are more than one codons for one amino acid.The opposite of it ie.non-degeneracy of codon means ther is only one codon for one amino acid.

The genetic information is stored in the NUCLEUS!

During transcription, the genetic information is rewritten as a molecule of
