What is Genetic Annealing?

the production of a new genome through the transfer of part of the genome of one organism to another organism.

Can genes of two persons be identical?

The genes of identical twins are identical because the twins come from one egg that has split after fertilization. Fraternal twins are not identical since they come from two eggs but have occupied the mother's womb at the same time.

What are genetic traits?

Genetic traits are variations of features passed on to offspring from there parents.

What does NLDGD C G charges mean?

There are too many acronyms to know exactly what you are trying to ask. If there were less letters and more specifics about the question you are asking, that would help.

How does genetic inheritance and physical being of managers'affect decision making in organizations?

A person who does not show a genetic disease such as Tay Sachs or Cystic Fibrosis but can pass the gene on to the next generation is called?

A carrier. This is usually a disease that requires two parts of a gene. The faulty gene is the recessive gene, and the healthy gene is the dominant gene. If two people with one dominant and one recessive gene each have a child they have a 25% chance of producing a child with two dominant genes, thereby resulting in that child having the disease.

Why would you use the amnicentesis test?

Amniocentesis is used for diagnosing foetal infections, Rh incompatibility, and chromosomal abnormalties and neural tube defects of the foetus

Is high cholesterol genetic?

There are certain genetic conditions that predispose a person to high cholesterol notably the group of conditions known as hyperlipidemias. However, eating a healthy diet low in cholesterol and saturated fat and exercising regularly can dramatically improve cholesterol and overall health in nearly all people.

Women hairy chest?

Some woman have a hairy chest. Amounts of hair vary based on genes, removal methods used, and amount of testosterone in their body.

How have scientists used genetic engineering to change horses?

So far all i know is that they use high maitanace machines with studs to increase stamina over extremely long periods of time, like 14 hours a day, 6 days a week, people are arguing that it is animal abuse.

Is Peyronie's disease possibly genetic?

It is said that genetic predisposition is a significant factor in causing Peyronie's disease, although the genetic component is not always obvious in some cases. Few doubt the importance of genetic predisposition in the development of this growing male health problem.

Because of the statistical link that suggests men from the norther Europe (Scandinavian countries and the U.K.) are more inclined to develop Peyronie's disease than those from Asia, Africa or other parts of the world, the genetic factor is difficult to refute. However, men whose ancestors do not hail from northern Europe do develop Peyronie's disease when physical trauma or drug toxicity are significant.

How do genetically engineered drugs help people with hemophilia?

The production of clotting factor proteins (the treatment for hemophilia) has many different parts. While much of the clotting factor protein used to treat hemophilia is recombinant (I'll explain this term in the next paragraph) I feel it important to also point out that a lot of the medications are still plasma derived, basically just separated off from human blood.

The recombinant protein molecules that are used to treat hemophilia (for the sake of the question we'll use the term drug, even though it would more accurately be called a biologic) are created in a lab, not being pulled out of human blood. The molecules themselves are not exactly being genetically engineered either. To produce these protein molecules, specific cells have been genetically engineered to create them and excrete them as a biproduct. These cells are cultured in large vats where the protein molecules are collected.

Advantages to these "recombinant" medications are in the purity and perceived safety. Since the protein molecules are not derived from blood the chance of contamination from a contaminated blood supply can be eliminated. The ability to culture these cells and produce the proteins in this manner also prevent the supply of the medication from relying on the blood supply, which throughout recent history has varied greatly as natural catastrophes, wars, and many other situations may deplete the blood supply.

Could you be pregnant if you missed a period by a month then had a very short red but not heavy the next month with negative urine tests.can it be genetic i heard the stories from my mom but am unsure?

When I was pregnant I had a period the first month and it was different from all other periods I had previously had, It wasn't as heavy and didn't last as long. However my urine test was positive but I have heard of other friends who had negative results and were in fact pregnant. So I would suggest going to your obgyn for more answers

The scientists who conducted this study would make what conclusions about the nature of the genetic material in viruses?

harshey and chase Martha had given the revolutionary concept dat DNA is d means by wich genetical informations r being transfered from one generation to anothr...by there observation based on VIRUS radioactivational experiment.....

Which is the best university in UK for msc in genetics?

Hard to say unless you've studied at all of them ;)

Oxford / Cambridge is going to be good, but Cardiff is also particularly good.

Is iddm is genetic or niddmis genetic disorder?

IDDM is still idiopathic although the the most likely cause of Type I diabetes is immune sequel. Antibodies that were activated against a viral infection are also capable of crossreacting with similar antigens presented on human cells. These can be autoantibodies for insulin, islet cells of the pancreas or to glutamic acid decarboxylase.

Insulin autoantibodies are predominantly found in younger children (<5 yrs) and is known as micro insulin autoantibodies( MIAA)

For islet cell autoantibodies there are two beta islet cells that show specificity to Type 1 DM. Autoantibodies to IA2 are found in a majority of Type I diabetic patients. IAR (also known as "phogrin") is also a marker on the beta islet cells.

What causes genetic mutations?

Mutations are changes in the nucleotide sequences in a genome. Most often, these minor mistaks are corrected by in-built repair mechanisms and many mutations go unnoticed an are not harmful. Harmful mutations cause diseases in many cases. There are several factors that promote the formation of mutations. These factors are called mutagenic agents. Mutagenic agents are divided into: chemical and physical mutagens. UV radiation is an example of a physical mutagen and Nitrous acid is an expample of a chemical mutagen

In an individual has no genetic code for phenylalanine?

An individual who cannot produce phenylalanine would not be viable so I believe what you are asking about is Phenylketonuria which is a genetic disorder found is infants who cannot properly digest phenylalanine (they can manufacture it).

Hospitals test for this disorder in newborns because it is imperative to place babies that test positive on a strict diet to prevent the mental retardation that is associated with the disorder. Early intervention results in a nearly normal life.

One leg has excessive hair growth why?

If one leg has excessive hair growth it could be because of the side a person sleeps on. Hair will grow faster on the body on areas that a person does not sleep on. If a person sleeps on the left side, for example, the left side might have less body hair.
