Intro To Genetic Engineering A whooping 60% of what’s on our supermarket shelves may contain genetically engineered soya. Some 3000 genetically engineered foods are lined up for approval. How should genetically engineered (GE) foods be regulated? Foremost, we must clarify what genetic engineering is– laboratory technique used by scientists to change the DNA of living…

Among the millions of species that inhabit the planet, only twenty species provide ninety percent of the human food supply (Montgomery 2000). Since the introduction of genetic engineering, however, livestock and crops have a more productive future. Transfer of engineered genes from organism to organism occurs through hybridization, conjugation, and transformation in microorganisms. By the…

Researchers utilise a variety of processes to learn about the natural phenomena. The fundamental investigation process is based on the scientific method. The scientific method is a guide scientists use to logically examine and interpret the information collected by the following steps sequentially, (Castillo, 2013), to utilise their knowledge gained from their study in an…

DNA fingerprinting (the use of a persons DNA to identify them) has become a hot topic in the field of law enforcement as well as the entire world. The controversy exists on whether or not it should be admitted in court as evidence at this time. Some experts believe that the present technology allows DNA…

DNA : Criminal Identification Validity and Doubts DNA, although controversial on accuracy, has provided a new means of identifying criminals where there is little physical evidence. This allows you to take a piece of hair, a spot of blood, or skin tissue and make a positive identification on a suspect. Since it’s first use by…

Mechanism of action of ciprofloxacin DNA synthesis is interfered by sealing DNA gyrase ( topoisomerase II ) and topoisomerase IV. Two sets of subunits, 2GyrA and 2GyrB that are encrypted by genes gyrA and gyrB severally consists DNA gyrase enzyme. DNA rupturing and association are processed by genes gyrA. Unique negative supercoiling continuation of DNA…

The steps involved in the biosynthesis of proteins including the roles of RNA Protein biosynthesis is the process in which the DNA codes specifically to produce many amino acid monomers and proteins. It Is a necessary process for the development, growth and maintenance of a cell. Proteins are needed in the cell for many reasons,…

DNA Computing, The Future or the End? The future of computers is in the hands of the next century. The evolution of the Computer Age has become a part of everyday life, and as time proceeds, people are depending more and more on computer technology. From controlling a small wrist watch to the largest super-computers…
