Genetic material consists of genes, which are the parts of cells that determine all characteristics of living things. It is not until recently that scientists have developed an experimental process for cloning higher animals, such as humans. This is a very technical process which involves first destroying the nucleus of an egg cell from the species to be cloned. Then a nucleus is rem...

Stem cells are special because they are the primitive cells that give rise to different kinds of tissues in the body, and because they are self renewing in the body and in the laboratory so that large quantities can be produced for medical purposes (The Promise of Stem Cells, 2002). Another great quality of stem cells is that they have the potential to develop into many different cells in the body. When...

Cystic Fibrosis Endoplasmic Reticulum
717 wordsCystic Fibrosis Commonly found in young children, Cystic Fibrosis is an inherited disease that is caused by a genetic disorder. The disease originates in the production of a critical protein that transports chloride ions from one place to another called a cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). The DNA of an infected person is missing three building blocks called nucleotides causing the CFTR protein to be missing one amino acid called phenylalanine. Normally, a healthy CFTR p...

Cystic Fibrosis Gene Percent Chance
418 wordsCystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis causes the body to produce an abnormally thick, sticky mucus, due to the faulty transport of sodium and chloride (salt) within cells lining organs such as the lungs and pancreas, to their outer surfaces. The thick mucus also obstructs the pancreas, preventing enzymes from reaching the intestines to help break down and digest food. Cystic Fibrosis has a variety of symptoms. The most common are very salty-tasting skin, persistant coughing, wheezing or pneumonia, exc...
