Morton Hunt‚ the author of the article – “The Biological Roots of Religion- Is Faith in Our Genes” summed up the socio-biological theory of the roots of religion as: “genetically built into early human beings was a set of mental‚ emotional‚ and social needs that caused culture to develop in certain ways‚ including the development of various religions‚ and caused culture reciprocally to favour and select for evolution those human traits that provided socio-cultural advantages to the individuals possessing

A new form of discrimination has arisen‚ called genoism‚ discrimination according to one’s genetic purity. The story follows a man named Vincent Freeman who was born as a god child this means he was genetically inferior to people born with the aid of technology. Vincent faces extreme genetic discrimination and prejudice‚ making it harder for his life long dream of being an astronaut. But we soon

scientists isolated a gene‚ BRCA1 that has an unprecedented impact on the study of cancer genetics. BRCA1 is a breast cancer susceptibility gene‚ meaning that woman who possess different mutations in this genes also possess a greatly increased risk of acquiring familial breast cancer‚ mutations in these two genes alone appear to be responsible for approximately 70% of breast cancer cases in families with an inheritance pattern affecting several generations. Scientists have developed genetic screening techniques

WHAT IS GENE THERAPY? Gene therapy is the transfer of recombinant DNA into an individual’s body cells‚ with the intent to correct a genetic defect or treat a disease. The transfer occurs by the way of lipid clusters or genetically engineered viruses‚ inserts an unmutated gene into an individual’s chromosomes. It is basically a method for fixing defective genes that cause diseases. As Starr‚ Evers & Starr (2013) stated‚ there are over 15‚000 serious genetic disorders in the world. Most of

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
