In the 1800’s, well-known biologist, Charles Darwin enlightened us with his theory of evolution and natural selection. In short, natural selection states that random genetic changes transpire within an organism’s genetic code, such changes are preserved because they are valuable for survival. Darwin’s ideas came …

Alright, let me help you start off with the facts, DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid. Sound like a mouthful? Don’t worry you’ll get used to it. Anyway, from reading the title you can suggest that DNA is pretty important, it’s what everything living on the …

Genetic Discrimination 1. Genetic discrimination is prejudice against those who have or are likely to develop an inherited disorder. This is where individuals are tested for certain mutations in their genes that could lead to a specific disorder. This is a problem because people are …

Viruses are sub-cellular agents of infection that must utilize the cellular machinery of bacteria, plants or animals in order to reproduce. Composed of a single strand of genetic material (DNA or RNA) encased in a protein capsid, a virus is too small to be seen …
