Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer Human Cloning Research
2,325 wordsHuman cloning has become a hot topic for debate. As we progressed one step closer to successfully cloning and developing a human being, legislators and the general public have become more concerned about the ethical and moral implications of this procedure. The federal government has been unsuccessful in reaching an agreement as to what policy to pass and enact. Thus, any current legislation on human cloning has been developed and enforced by individual states. The state of California is one of ...

Back To Earth Solar Wind
1,313 wordsn this ERA of tight space budgets and infrequent deep-space missions, solar system researchers have pushed to squeeze more science from existing interplanetary spacecraft. By drastically altering their orbital paths using gravity-assisted maneuvers combined with relatively brief rocket firings, veteran probes can be sent on productive extended missions. This technique was successfully employed by the International Sun-Earth Explorer 3 (ISSE 3) spacecraft to accomplish two important space firsts:...

Amount Of Energy Stimulated Emission
1,113 wordsThere are only about 100 different kinds of atoms in the entire universe. Everything we see is made up of these 100 atoms in an unlimited number of combinations. They continuously vibrate, move and rotate. Even the atoms that make up the chairs that we sit in are moving around in class. Atoms can be in different states of excitation (Bertolotti 48) or they can have different energies. If we apply a lot of energy to an atom, it can leave what is called the ground-state energy level and go to an e...

Nitrogenous Bases Amino Acids
999 wordsDeoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid are two chemical substances involved in transmitting genetic information from parent to offspring. It was known early into the 20 th century that chromosomes, the genetic material of cells, contained DNA. In 1944, Oswald T. Avery, Colin M. MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarty concluded that DNA was the basic genetic component of chromosomes. Later, RNA would be proven to regulate protein synthesis. DNA is the genetic material found in most viruses and in all cel...

Human Clone Human Cloning
745 wordsIt is probably only a matter of time before a human being is cloned. Already animals have been cloned and the race for the first cloned human is well under way, be it legal or not. What will happen when this first human is cloned? Many questions surrounding this topic are asked now and the answers are not far off as the human clone lies on the horizon. Twenty years ago, the only talk of human cloning was in science fiction movies, but with the 1994 cloning of a sheep named Dolly has people waiti...

Human Beings Human Body
1,046 wordsSend in the Clones It is hard to say if cloning is an answer to a problem or just another problem for the human race. There have been books, movies, and even stories about mankind creating their own species of humans. A good example of what could happen if mankind learns to clone itself is Mary Shelly's Frankenstein. A classic novel demonstrating what could happen when mankind takes the power of God in our own hands. Cloning is physically a new science but ethically is a century old debate. A cl...

Cloned Sheep Dna Cloning
870 wordsThe most recent discoveries and researches in the field of genetics: DNA cloning I am a biology major student at Brooklyn College, and of course I am interested in the most recent discoveries in biosciences, particularly in genetics and DNA cloning. A lot of us heard about cloned sheep Dolly and other cloned animals, and I decided to find out, with help of the Internet, how this process was accomplished in general and what is the future of this kind of experiments and researches. Also, I tried t...

Kilometers In Diameter Solar System
1,940 wordsHave you Comet Comets Have you ever looked up in the sky and seen a little ball creeping by? If so, did you wonder what it was? That little ball is called a comet. Comets are small, fragile, and irregularly shaped. Most are composed of frozen gas. However, some are composed of frozen gas and non-volatile grains. They usually follow very strict paths around the sun. Comets become most visible when they cross the sun. This also applies to people who view comets with telescopes. When a comet gets n...

Animals And Plants Huntington Disease
1,947 wordsWhats Genetic Engineering? Nowadays, scientists have learned a great deal about the chemical changes taking place inside living things. They have deciphered the code, DNA, by which animals and plants pass on their characteristics to their offspring. They have even leant how to alter that code to produce life forms with new characteristics. This new technology involving both chemical and biological science is known as genetic engineering. Through this new technology, we shall soon be able to prov...

Cystic Fibrosis Genetically Engineered
1,365 wordsGene therapy by gene supplementation in somatic cells may help those suffering from genetic conditions such as cystic fibrosis. Although a mutant gene occurs in all cells of the body only those tissues particularly affected (where the gene is switched on) by the mutant gene would be targeted for therapy, i. e. the lungs of a cystic fibrosis sufferer, blood cells in the bone marrow in &solid; thalassemia and the muscles in Duchemme muscular dystrophy. As cells eventually die, so do the tissues be...

Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer Ban Human Cloning
1,939 wordsAccording to Webster s New World Dictionary (1990), a clone is all descendants derived asexually from a single organism. In layman terms a clone is an exact duplicate of another organism, therefore a human clone would be a perfect copy of another human being. According to the American Medical Association, the scientific name for cloning is somatic cell nuclear transfer, which means the nucleus of an existing organism is transferred into an oocyte from which the nucleus has been removed (AMA 1998...

Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer Homo Sapiens
1,717 wordsTechnology has been a fundamental aid to humanity almost since the beginning of our species. At the earliest period of human life not one but three separate species shared this planet and the taxonomic classification of the Homo genus. (Hominid) For thousands of years Homo Erectus, Homo Neanderthalensis, and the more intellectually advanced of the three, Homo Sapiens, coexisted in a constantly conflicting but stable relationship. Until, quite suddenly 100, 000 years ago Homo Erectus disappeared ...

Bone Marrow Dna Cloning
985 wordsThe theory of adult DNA cloning is astoundingly simple: one takes the nucleus of a cell from an adult, which contains the adult s genes (DNA), and transfers it into an egg in place of that egg s own nucleus. The egg, placed in a surrogate womb can now develop into a baby that will grow to an exact copy of the adult. In reality the practice of cloning is more complicated. The only animal to have been produced this way is the now world famous Dolly. Dr. Ian Wilmut of the Roslin Institute in Roslin...

Endangered Species Human Cloning
802 wordsHuman cloning is the ability to take a cell from a human donor, take out the nucleus and place it in a unfertilized human egg. Finally the egg is placed into a female body in which the egg develops into a younger duplicate of the nucleus donor (sex depending on where the nucleus originated). However, in society such as ours which divides church and state, laws governing human cloning will have to reflect ethical positions that are not based on any God or set of religious beliefs. Issues that hav...

Period Of Time Atomic Bomb
951 wordsTHE ATOMIC BOMB Seven months after the discovery of the neutron, on September 12, 1932, Leo Szilard inaugurated the possibility of a controlled release of atomic power through a multiplying neutron chain reaction. Leo was legally recognized as the inventor of the atomic bomb on July 4, 1934. He described not only the basic concept of using neutron induced chain reactions to create explosions, but also the key concept of the critical mass. There are 2 types of atomic explosions, one in which two ...
