…received pharmacological treatment. Perhaps the only form or prevention an innate theorist can envision is genetic engineering. If one is aggressive because of his or her genes, manipulation of genetic information is the only sensible means to prevent aggressive…

…for oxygen to be produced is algae, which currently makes most of the oxygen on Earth because of its enormous quantities. Algae is one of many types of plants that could be genetically altered in order to grow and multiply faster in the hypothetical oceans which…

…are done often on identical twins that were separated to see how they are influenced. In the past twenty years, it has been discovered that there is a genetic component to about every human trait and behaviour. However, genetic influence on traits and behaviour…

…a set of chromosomes containing the heritable genetic material that edifies its development. The genetic material of chromosomes is DNA. The paired strands of the DNA molecule are an array of nucleotides, or bases, of which there are four types-adenine…

…Cloning Of all the terms coined by scientists which have entered popular vocabulary, 'clone' has become one of the more emotive. Strictly speaking a clone refers to one or more offspring derived from a single ancestor, whose genetic composition…

…selection. The synthetic theory of evolution combines natural selection with the influence of genetics. These theories, together with the evidence for evolution from population genetics, molecular biology, and comparative anatomy and embryology, propose…

…interesting studies suggesting that the closer the genetic make-up of individuals the higher the probability that they too would also commit crimes. “Taylor, Watson and Young 1983 concluded that according to the XXY chromosome theory, criminality is related…

…prove to be a major weapon in the fight against cancer, as laboratory genetically engineered viruses are designed that invade cancerous cells and fix or kill the cancer cell at the level of the genome. Chemical carcinogens function to convert normal cells…

…is in pharmaceutical production. Coning would allow scientists to genetically engineer an animal to produce a specific protein. The animal would mass produce those proteins by secreting the protein into their milk or blood for harvest by pharmaceutical companies. Insulin…

…these two types of fruit compare? Both are pleasing in God’s eyes” (11). Cohen goes on to write, “In time, we may well see a world in which many people will be cloned or genetically engineered, while others will be created through traditional means. Perhaps both…
