Introduction In this week’s laboratory period students had the opportunity to perform a common procedure preformed by many if not all microbiologists known as genetic transformation. Genetic transformation is the ability to move DNA into an organism and thereby altering its genotypic and genetic makeup (2). Genetic transformation has shown to have a wide variety of uses in many scientific studies. In agriculture‚ gene coding for traits such as frost‚ pest‚ or spoilage resistance have been genetically

Education is another factor in the social mobility between classes in the class system. People who received a good education tend to move up in the socioeconomic ladder. While people who didn’t tend to stay at the same level they currently at or even move down Education is available to everyone in America‚ however the faculties and how the students were treated can be factors in how the education was received.

significantly between 1450 and 1750. While Russia remained an agricultural society‚ the West became very commercially active and developed a strong manufacturing base. Many of the core areas of the West transformed; governments increased their powers‚ science became the focus of intellectual life. These changes resulted from overseas expansion. Russia‚ on the other hand‚ was heavily concerned with territorial expansion‚ eventually becoming the chief power of Eastern Europe. From there‚ Russian tsars began

A plasmid is a genetic structure in a cell that can replicate independently of chromosomes. In this lab‚ the Green Fluorescent Protein‚ which is typically found in the bioluminescent jellyfish Aequorea

Religion played a big role in shaping the values‚ attitudes‚ and conduct of the Spanish during the Age of Discovery and Conquest (1492-1579). The colonial church provided control and a standard of conduct and living for the new world. In fact‚ the colonial church had even more power in Spanish America then it did in Spain. Why this is important though‚ is because it limited the possibility of rebellion and opposition. As long as the church was in place‚ there was Spanish order‚ and as long as there

The Phenomenon that is Genetic Transformation Matt Kimmel November 17‚ 2011 Bio 121-012 Introduction Genetic transformation is when the genetic makeup of an organism is altered by it receiving external genetic material (Barnhart and Hopper‚ 2011). Bacterial transformation was first seen during an experiment by Fredric Griffith in 1928. In the experiment there were two strains of bacteria‚ a virulent strain‚ and non-virulent strain. Virulent simply means disease causing‚ and therefore non-virulent
