Whereas ‚ the second type of learning is operant conditioning in which a learning processes shows good behavior you’ll get a reward and if you show illness

Genetics is an intellectual interest of mine. I was first attracted to genetics by a documentary about Neanderthals. Although the documentary itself wasn’t on genetics‚ it mentioned how some humans have a percentage of Neanderthal genes in them. I found this incredibly interesting that our genes could be traced back in history. I was further interesting about genetics was that one could have genetic mutations. This led me to wonder if maybe there are people in the world with genetic mutations that

Genetic Engineering useful or Harmful There are many issues which are associated with genetic engineering such as Cystic Fibrosis etc. Genes now days are being used in many ways for example they are now putting them in Plants to prevent them being destroyed by animals. It is very useful such as if there is a disease in a family and you want to prevent it to spreading the only way to do that is genetic engineering they can modify your genes and stop that disease to occur in your baby. In some ways

Genetic modification means changing the genes in a living cell. There are two types of genetic modification: non-inheritable genetic modification and inheritable genetic modification. Non-inheritable genetic modification changes the genes in cells other than egg or sperm cells. If a lung disease is caused by defective lung cell genes‚ it might be possible to treat the disease by modifying the genes in those lung cells. Such changes are not passed to future children. Applications of this sort are

Designer Babies‚ some people have heard of them‚ some of those people don’t want it to take place but it has already happened‚ through 3 parent babies‚ gender selection and through new advances bought by a new genetic tool called Crispr Cas9. Today we will talk about the pros and cons of creating custom babies‚ why designer babies are already here‚ and possible future of such technology. The pros of designer babies are good thought for why they are needed. The technology to create this is called

Film: Gattaca (Clip) General Observations: The birth scene has a gloomy tone and color scheme‚ suggesting that this method of living is something humans should avoid. Since this film is a futuristic film about the use of the findings from the Human Genome Project‚ this film is warning us about the possible misuse of the new genetic information. Geneticists are an important job in the film because after one second‚ the blood is being tested and geneticists can determine your life and future. This
