A gene is a long sequence of nucleotides on a DNA molecule. A mutation is a change in the amount of an organism’s genetic material and when a change in genotype produces a change in phenotype‚ the individual affected is said to be a mutant. A gene mutation involves a change in one or more of the nucleotides in a strand of DNA. The sequence of nucleotides in a gene controls the order in which amino acids are made into a protein‚ therefore if the sequence of nucleotides in a gene is altered by a mutation

Gene Splicing What Is It? Gene Splicing is one type of genetic technology. It is the process of taking pieces of DNA from one or more organisms then combining them into another DNA strand to create new DNA or recombinant DNA. How does it Work? Chemicals called restriction enzymes are used as scissors to cut the DNA. Thousands of these restriction enzymes exist‚ each recognizing only a single sequence of DNA. Once it finds that sequence in a strand of DNA‚ it attacks it and splits the base pairs

life. Vincent was always being treated as second best because of his genetic makeup. As the film progresses we find Vincent proves to be just as capable as any other employee at Gattaca even though he was a “degenerate”. Vincent states “there is no gene for fate” meaning that even in this modern day‚ if a person is put down and considered less superior than someone they can achieve anything with hard work and determination. We see signs of prejudice early in the film where as courage was shown more

trait very rapidly and with great accuracy. For example‚ plant geneticists can isolate a gene responsible for drought tolerance and insert that gene into a different plant. The new genetically-modified plant will gain drought tolerance as well. Not only can genes be transferred from one plant to another‚ but genes from non-plant organisms also can be used. The best known example of this is the use of B.t. genes in corn and other crops.
