Scientific concepts strengthened through the conduction of this experiment were the concept of mitochondria and exercise, mitochondria’s function and structure in the cell, and how mitochondria use fats, proteins, and carbohydrates to power the cell and to power the body of an organism. Analyzing the data in this experiment resulted in a better knowledge of the concept of Chi^2 and how to calculate Chi^2, what a Likert’s scale is and how to create such a scale, and how to quantitatively record data from an experiment when there aren't straightforward
In the poem, To a Mouse, Robert Burns states, “The best laid schemes of mice and men/ Go often askew/ And leave us nothing but grief and pain” (Burns). Burns wrote about an incident where he accidentally ruined a mouse’s home while plowing a field. During the early 1900s, the Great Depression, one of the biggest economic slumps in the history of the United States, was taking place. It resulted in many people being unemployed, lonely, and stuck in poverty.
In the satirical short story, “The Mouse” by Saki, Theodoric Voler can be analyzed through a socioeconomic lens, as it explores the concept of class and power. Theodoric is a sheltered man who is out of touch with the world outside his limited experiences. His lack of skills and knowledge can be attributed to his privileged upbringing, which has shielded him from deeper human connection and forced him to rely on others for his needs. According to Standford University, “classism is the institutional, cultural, and individual set of practices and beliefs that assign differential value to people according to their socioeconomic class”. One of the main ways in which classism is a result of socioeconomics is through the creation of social hierarchies.
My Product is a children's book that is called “A Tale of Mercy and Justice: A Story of the Mouse and the Moose”, that tells the story of a mouse and a moose who become friends and work together to help a group of animals in need. The story follows the mouse and the moose as they come to the realization that justice and mercy must go hand-in-hand to provide a better life for those in need. The book is illustrated with vibrant and colorful artwork that captures the beauty of the forest and its inhabitants. The book is written in a way that even young readers can understand and relate to the characters and their struggles. At the end of the book, there is a moral lesson about justice and mercy, and how everyone can make a difference by working
This can lead to genetic defects, it limits genetic diversity, and it can be taken to very extreme levels. ` To start us off, genetically engineering a baby can be very unsafe for it and lead to genetic defects. Scientists don’t know everything about the human body yet, and because of this, if we end up modifying something, it could end up affecting something important that we didn’t know about. We also can’t predict the outcome of the modification yet. Scientists could be able to possibly knock out a disease out of our genetic code, but since we don’t
Why is this bad? Mostly because it enables those with genetic, hereditary diseases, a better chance to procreate and thus pass down more negatively mutated genes to the next the overall human genepool. Which statistically is a big negative to the continuance of the human species, this does not help or aid mankind in any immediately foreseeable way. This is an example of something that would nearly never occur within the constraints of natural selection. Genome-wide gene-deletion in the experiments with information about the fitness of each deletion strain had been performed in the bacterium Escherichia coli and in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisae.
The researchers then combine the broken gene with a healthy gene. This new healthy gene is now modified and free from the mutation it had before. Although many individuals’ ethics and morals stand in the way of gene editing, this technology affects society in many different
A Strange Twist of Fate is a nonfictional story. When a young boy named Kevin gets hit by a baseball bat. Penny helps him not knowing that he would one day return the favor by saving her from choking. The characters in A Strange Twist of Fate have incredible similarities to the characters in the fictional story The Lion and the Mouse. In The Lion and the Mouse, a Lion catches a little mouse and spares his life.
Gene editing is the alteration of a person’s genetic material to delete undesirable traits or to create desirable new ones. Scientists can identify a defective DNA strand to be cut out and changed, then they use a protein that acts like scissors to cut out the improper gene and cells, then a healthy strand of DNA is inserted at the cut site and enzymes repair it (Crow). The goal of gene editing is to treat genetic disorders. Gene editing could potentially decrease or even
Mutation in children is not uncommon and it has caused many children to be robbed of the chances that healthy children are born with. A parent blessed with the gift of a healthy child wouldn’t be able to understand the relief genetic engineering would be able to bring to parents of children born with haemophilia, cystic fibrosis, or muscular dystrophy. Not only would choosing the best traits in an organism be good for humans, but for animals and plants. As previously mentioned, plants would benefit in the sense that they will be able to get immunity to pests and their own types of diseases. Animals would be able to make their prime state by modifying their DNA.
Should or should we not prohibit genetically engineered babies is the question to ask. After years and year of trying to figure out the cure for a disease like a mitochondrial disease, a group of professional on the topic believes that it would greatly benefit the baby ’s outcome exceptionally if their parents has harmful genetics. Most people concern would be how the baby would turn out because there have not been any clinical trials that prove that the genetics that is engineered properly work like they should. I personally believe that the genetics of baby should not be engineered, but I do believe that it should be up to the parent of the children since it is their child in the first place.
Therefore, if two parents are carriers of a certain gene that will disable their child, they can modify that gene to make a child that will not have that disability. As well as some parents will have designer babies to save another child they already have with a certain disease. In this method, parents will choose their child’s blood type and such in order for them to match that other diseased child and potentially give them their blood, marrow, and even organs. Genetically modifying a child’s chance of disease ensures that a child may live a life without potential disease and disability that they may have been more prone to had their parents’ not used this method. This also ensures a healthy life for a child that had a greater potential of having a medical condition due to their parents being carriers of that particular gene.
All those who cry ‘hubris’ should accept this fact as inevitable and ensure that it is treated with due and considered debate, instead of volatile hype. Whether the benefits outweigh the risks is a moot point, as it is our responsibility to see that they do. It is our duty that we ensure its use for repair and not enhancement. The furor in recent times over ethical and scientific implications of gene modification is because of CRISPR/Cas9 – Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats /CRISPR associated protein 9 nuclease.
Genetic engineering could theoretically eliminate the passing of “disease” genes. In addition, new products can be created. With genetic engineering, new products can be created by adding or combining different profiles together. This makes it possible for more people to get what they need nutritionally, even if their food access
“The main arguments against genetic modification of human embryos are that it would be unsafe and unfair, and that modification would quickly go beyond efforts to reduce the incidence of inherited maladies” (Caplan). During the altering genes in the mother 's womb cause a lot of dangerous situations and
