The World Food Program estimates that 795 million people worldwide – mostly in the third world - experience hunger. Starvation may worsen in events of global climate-change effects like drought (Effiong & Noor, 2019). Indeed, recent natural disasters in major food-exporting nations in Africa and Asia could aggravate adverse food situation (Qaim & Kouser, 2013). Fortunately, recent scientific discoveries have...

Introduction The genetic engineering of plants and animals is a highly beneficial method of making our food sources healthier, hardier, and larger that has been practiced since the dawn of man. Modern disparagers of GMOs are more concerned with modern methods of gene manipulation like the use of CRISPR and “Gene guns” as the direct manipulation of genes, and the...

‘The Social Life of DNA’ by Alondra Nelson goes in depth explaining how genetic testing can be the key to discovering our roots. Nelson highlights the concept that people, specifically African Americans, should rediscover their roots to find out who they are and where they came from. Through DNA testing, such as 23andMe and AncestryDNA, people were able to gain...

Abstract Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a multisystem disorder that originates in the respiratory system of individuals. It is caused by a malfunction of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane receptor protein (CFTR). Improved understanding of the CFTR gene has opened doors to better understand the disease itself through research and experimental procedures. Understanding the pathophysiology of the CFTR gene itself has also...

After discussing with relatives who have completed their at-home DNA tests, I have been able to determine where most of my ancestors are from. Interestingly, I am from Seminole, Anglo-Saxon, and Irish descent. Within the Anglo-Saxon culture, a very rare disease known as hemochromatosis (iron build up in the body), is commonly found here. There are two forms of hemochromatosis,...

Genetics define the traits and characteristics of a person. Genetics are determined by your parent’s genes, DNA and chromosomes. Many people have a genetic disease, and this can be identified by doing genetic testing and screening. This essay will talk about the difference between genetic screening and testing and a positive aspect of genetic screening. I will also talk about...

In this class I have really enjoyed learning about the issues in Biology. In rating the issues we have discussed in class from most important to least important I would list pandemics and genetics/cancer as my top two choices, followed by natural selection/evolution, sustainability, human population, biotechnology/GMO’s and, lastly, climate change. I chose to put pandemics at the top of...

INTRODUCTION The study and research of biomedical science involves uncovering the secrets of the human body whilst developing an understanding of disease, diagnosis, and treatment (Heitman, E. 2000). This means biomedical scientists must not only understand how to treat a disease, but must understand what caused that disease, how that disease can be identified and differentiated from other diseases, how...

Drosophila melanogaster, also referred to as “fruit flies,” are one of the most commonly used test subjects in genetic research. In the early 1900s, Thomas Hunt Morgan found a correlation between chromosomal mutations and heredity using fruit flies (Markow, 2015). Throughout the 20th and into the 21st century, research continued using fruit flies bringing forth notable findings such as genetic...
