States. This means that about 15 of every 100‚000 males aged between 5-24 were affected that year. Also‚ a close friend of mine had muscular dystrophy so it played a role in my life. I wanted to know if it could be cured and if not was there any treatments for it. Muscular dystrophy could potentially be cured through gene therapy‚ but currently the disease is best treated with a steroid named Prednisone. Muscular dystrophy is a genetic disorder. It is inherited just like height and eye color. Scientists

reality for expecting parents. Genetic engineering will allow parents to decide what their baby will look like from eye colour to their skin colour even if they will be intelligent or creative. Although some people may like the idea of being able to genetically engineering your baby it does have many down sides for example to have all the research done they have to use embryos and if the tests do not work the embryos will not be kept it will be disposed of. With this new genetic engineering and research

Cystic Fibrosis: What is Cystic Fibrosis: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a lifelong hereditary/genetic disorder‚ meaning the disease can be passed on from parent to child and can be inherited. CF is not contagious. Both parents must be either a carrier or suffer from CF for the disease to be passed on however carriers show no symptoms that a suffer does. CF affects the respiratory system; mainly the lungs and some parts of the digestive and reproductive systems including the pancreas‚ liver and the vas

What are inherited genetic conditions? Medical conditions caused by the mutation of a single gene that is passed on to a child from a biological parent. There are many ways that conditions can be inherited: Autosomal recessive inheritance – both parents are carriers and have copies of the faulty gene. If only one gene is inherited‚ the child is then a carrier. An example would be Sickle Cell Anaemia. Autosomal dominant inheritance – 1 parent carries the defective gene. The child has a 50% chance

There are a wide variety of genetic disorders that parents face during pregnancy. Parents are faced with the terrifying news of the disorders that doctors diagnosis their unborn children. In some cases‚ certain disorders are not discovered until after the birth of the new baby. Due to the fact that there are a wide variety of genetic disorders‚ there are also different ways these disorders can be detected‚ as well as the different ways they affect the unborn baby‚ the mother‚ and the treatment plans

Mendel pea method was legitimate. That recessive and dominant gene does play an important role and does determine the outcome of the offspring characteristics and traits. So the science committee made a mutual decision to make Mendel the father of Genetics.

DNA profiling‚ also referred to as typing and fingerprinting‚ uses genetic material to show relatedness and uncover the identity of organisms. Most commonly associated with forensics‚ it can be used in an array of scientific fields such as anthropology. One method that can be used‚ when a large sample present‚ is restriction

There are some things that are different between non-human primates and human primates. But we aren’t extremely different. We share many things in common. Some of the things we share are the way we interact with our peers. The fact that they can also cooperative and work together to achieve a common goal. How we both can display our emotions and wants through our facial expression and body language. We share the same diet type even though the way we go about getting our food different. The fact that
