Throughout history‚ scientific research and the exploration of new technologies have always been areas of extreme controversy and heated debate. This can be primarily attributed to the fact that they touch upon and affect many aspects of people’s lives‚ not to mention their direct interference with political‚ social and religious matters. One of the latest and most ferociously debated technologies‚ that the scientific community has offered humanity‚ is the technology of Genetically Modified Organisms

Introduction During the course of this lab‚ we explored whether or not certain processed foods contained Genetically Modified Organisms. Genetically modified food is an important subject in the world today. Ever since Flavr Savr came out with their tomatoes grown from genetically modified seeds in 1994 genetically modified foods has become ever more popular amongst distributors of produce (Mestel‚ 2013). The world’s population has grown by around one billion in the last decade (US Bureau of the

The topic I would like to discuss is the Amherst Styrofoam Ban. Several districts have outlawed this product due to new regulations. Styrofoam‚ a common product used at restaurants‚ offices‚ and in packages‚ is a product that is valued for its high insulation capacity and buoyancy. However‚ its negative effects on human health and environment outweigh the benefits and efficiency. Due to its inability to biodegrade‚ the toxins released during its production prompted new policies for a safer environment

It is probably safe to say that modification of anything without education is mostly looked upon as taboo. Backlash of the unknown often occurs on a variety of scales. Transgenic vector mosquitoes are no different because of the many bio ethical factors involved. Health‚ environmental and chemical are just a few of the well documented concerns surrounding GMO research. While genetically modifying Aedes mosquitoes scientists have been able to reduce dengue disease but are there medical breakthroughs

It is ironic that one of the biggest discoveries in the scientific world was found on a microscopic scale: sticky ends. When Ronald W. Davis‚ a professor in chemistry at Stanford University‚ was utilizing the EcoRI restriction endonuclease to cleave DNA‚ he noticed that the outcome was two single-stranded ends of DNA that had nucleotide base sequences complementary to each other. This was a result of the restriction enzyme creating overhang regions in the DNA strands which allowed for the sticky

The purpose of GMOs‚ to enhance the traits of certain genes within plants or to implant traits from other vegetation which could strengthen the plant. Highly looked down upon by some but highly appreciated by others. I believe GMOs are a great scientific way to make our foods safer‚ because of the self-resisting traits that are bestowed upon them by genetics or genetic implantation. But first what does GMO mean‚ you’ve come so far into this paragraph enough and to not know the meaning of the acronym

he purpose of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault is what can be referred to as a safe house for humanity. The Svalbard Global Seed Vault‚ located 700 miles from the North Pole on Svalbard Island‚ contains 1.5 billion backup copies of seeds from around the world from almost every country. Built on Svalbard Island‚ known as the "Cold Coast‚" the vault has been built to last 10‚000 years and is referred to as a "Frozen Fort Knox." In the event of a world disaster‚ the vault has been created to remain frozen
