What is Cloning? Clones are organisms that are exact genetic copies. Every single bit of their DNA is identical. Clones can happen naturally—identical twins are just one of many examples. Or they can be made in the lab. Below‚ find out how natural identical twins are similar to and different from clones made through modern cloning technologies. Many people first heard of cloning when Dolly the Sheep showed up on the scene in 1997. Artificial cloning technologies have been around for much longer

Religion and Modernity Can it be truthfully said that organized religion is a barrier to modernity? In order to determine such an accusation‚ we must first try to identify how we define modernity as well as the role of religion in science and humanity. To think modernism means the present is a very narrow view. “For many Decades‚ modernization was depicted in social sciences as a broad series of processes of industrialization‚ urbanization and social changes through which modern societies arose

Therapeutic Cloning to Obtain Embryonic Stem Cells Is Immoral "The point is to cause each of us to think deeply about whether there is any essential difference between the reality of [World War II] Nazi experiments and ’therapeutic cloning.’" In this two-part viewpoint‚ David A. Prentice and William Saunders discuss the science and the ethics of therapeutic cloning. In the first part‚ Prentice argues that creating clones for the purpose of embryonic stem cell research‚ called "therapeutic cloning

Who Discovered DNA? Heather Kane The discovery of deoxyribonucleic acid‚ more commonly known as DNA‚ has been the foundation for much scientific work. This fundamental discovery was credited to James Watson and Francis Crick. Many people believe that another person‚ Rosalind Franklin‚ also played a large role in the research. How much did she contribute to the discovery? Why is her name left unrecognized? This paper will discuss her part in the search and whether her name should appear next to

Stem cells -are biological cells found in all multi cellularorganisms‚ that can divide (throughmitosis) and differentiate into diverse specialized cell types and can self-renew to produce more stem cells. In mammals‚ there are two broad types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells‚ which are isolated from the inner cell mass of blastocysts‚ and adult stem cells‚ which are found in various tissues. In adult organisms‚ stem cells and progenitor cells act as a repair system for the body‚ replenishing

INTRODUCTION An important aspect of any biotechnological processes is the culture of animal cells in artificial media. These animal cells in culture are used in recombinant DNA technology‚ genetic manipulations and in a variety of industrial processes. Now-a -days it has become possible to use the cell and tissue culture in the areas of research which have a potential for economic value and commercialization. The animal cell cultures are being extensively used in production of vaccines‚ monoclonal
