Summary Jaenisch discusses ethical and scientific challenges associated with human cloning and the application of somatic-cell nuclear transfer to develop a child or ‘reproductive cloning’ (Jaenisch, 2004). He...
Introduction Microbial infections can pose a severe threat to the life and health of a person. The critical task of healthcare professionals is to choose the most optimal medications that will fight the disease without exposing a patient to unnecessary harm. Very often, this task requires extensive research and testing....
Introduction Food is an essential human need, and nobody can survive without eating for days. There are fears that the coming decades will be more hostile, especially to individuals who cannot afford decent meals in a day. This essay explores the problem of the threats to global food supplies and...
The modern archaeology relies on a whole range of tools, methods, and techniques that help the scientists to evaluate the sites before the beginning of excavations. The sites of different kind can be analyzed in a variety of aspects such as their chemical composition, the kinds of objects situated under...
To acquire knowledge about a place, a person needs time and local expertise. Books, maps, and the scientific background will not help much. The knowledge, however, can be obtained from men and women residing near this place. They can tell about what they feel about this site, how they express...
These days, people live too “far from earth and nature.” It is all about living in a city. Remember, when did you look at the sky for the last time? When did you listen to the bird’s singing? And when did you eat a fresh apple stripped just from the...
Introduction Developmental disabilities (DDs) comprise a group of chronic conditions associated with physical or mental impairments. A complex mix of factors causes these conditions in early stages of the human development. These factors include genes, complications during birth, exposure to environmental toxins, parental behaviours during pregnancy, and infections. Genetic defects...
The debate about whether homosexuality is an inherent or social parameter can be deemed as one of the most thoroughly discussed issues in contemporary society. Although the movement against oppression has been started, a range of statements concerning homosexuality being a social and, therefore, changeable construct have affected the lives...
Abstract The movement of materials in biological systems takes place through various processes that include osmosis, diffusion, facilitated transport, and active transport. Osmosis involves movement of molecules from regions of low concentration to regions of high concentration while diffusion involves movement of molecules from high-concentration regions to low-concentration regions. Facilitated...
Introduction A general introduction of the MAPK cascades and plant salt tolerance Plant survival under adverse environmental conditions generally depends on a combination of stress adaptive metabolic and structure variations into internal growth factors (Golldack, Li, Mohan, & Probst, 2014). Abiotic environmental aspects, including deficiency of water and salinity are...
Introduction The success of tissue engineering is dependent on the ability to promote the desired cellular processes. Given the intricate process involved in tissue development and regeneration, it is crucial to understand how microenvironment regulates cell behavior. Generally, mechanical signals contribute significantly to the development of human beings, especially during...
It is known that, despite expectations, genome decoding has failed to respond to many questions about the health and treatment of illnesses. It has been realized that genes happen to behave in different ways depending on the environmental factors. Therefore, epigenetics has come forward to play a significant role in...
Introduction Research on epigenetics continues to elicit varied interest from scholars keen on understanding how heritable shifts impact or influence genetic expression without necessarily influencing the fundamental DNA sequence. This paper reviews a research article and two videos on epigenetics with the view to developing a deeper understanding of the...
MKK3 Experiment for Protein-Protein Interaction To confirm the related protein with MKK3, the Yeast Two-Hybrid (Y2H) assays would be performed (Teige, Scheikl, Reiser, Ruis, & Ammerer, 2001). The Y2H experiment is used to identify physical interactions between proteins via downstream activation of the reporting gene. The reporter gene generally influences...
Some of the inherited genes may predispose individuals to certain health conditions like cystic fibrosis among other inheritable diseases. Therefore, genetic counseling is recommended for people with a family history of a certain inheritable condition. This paper discusses the reasons for genetic counseling and possible responses from a patient together...
Gharials, also known as fish-eating crocodiles, are “a type of Asian crocodilian distinguished by their long, thin snouts” (“Gharial,” 2017, para. 2). They belong to the Gavialidae family. The average lifespan of the crocodiles in the wild ranges from 40 to 60 years. They may reach up to 15.5 ft...
Aquaculture refers to farming of marine organisms like shellfish, fish and plants both in freshwater and marine. Aquaculture or fish farming may also be regarded to as the science and trade of farming aquatic animals (Colin 2011). The aquatic animals reared include mollusks, finfish and crustaceans. Plants reared in marine...

We live in a unique era. Today we could observe the blistering rise of science and processes that come along with it. Numerous discoveries of the last decades altered our mentality significantly. We become able to think about fantastic things and, which is more important, we possess enough knowledge to...
Introduction Genetic counseling is defined as “the process of helping people understand and adapt to the medical, psychological, and familial implications of genetic contributions to disease” (Ormond, 2013, p. 189). It can be used to predict and prevent multiple heritable conditions, including diabetes. In the given paper, the focus will...
Summary: Types of reasons. Types of cloning In the article “Human Cloning – The Science and Ethics of Nuclear Transplantation,” Jaenisch (2004) has raised many vital questions of scientific and ethical aspects concerning human cloning. According to Taheri (2016), “Human cloning brings a new challenge into a global and general...
Internal Female Reproductive Organs The system of internal female reproductive organs includes glands (ovaries), cervix, and uterus. Also, fallopian tubes and vagina are part of it. Fallopian tubes are narrow tubes with a pronounced muscular layer, which are constantly shrinking. Their mucous membrane consists of cells with cilia (deWit &...
Abstract The paper is focused on describing four basic causes of evolution, namely natural selection, mutation, genetic drift, and gene flow. As a matter of fact, all the stated above elements contributed to the process of evolution. The paper examines the contribution of every cause of evolution. Natural Selection Natural...
Introduction All organisms play the role of hosts to one or more species of parasites, which can have a significant impact on their fitness. To respond to the threats from parasite infections, hosts learned to develop a range of behavioral, physiological, and morphological defense mechanisms that progressed to be effective...
