... continue to learn, even more about the fascinating and mysterious world of genetics. Deoxyribo Nucleic Aced also known as DNA is the basis of the human body. DNA is 500 times thinner than a strand of hair. It is shaped like a twisted ladder called a double helix. The rungs of the ladder are called nucleotides and are classified by ... cells, help us hear, and put the color in our eyes. Another example is the "receptor" proteins that send signals to tell the brain when you are in pain. Even today we continue to make more and more discoveries about human genetics. In 1990 the U.S. began a ...

... Fingerprinting DNA Fingerprinting is also referred to as DNA profiling and DNA typing. It was first developed as an identification technique in England in 1985. The original use was to expose the presence of any genetic diseases. About three years later it became used to identify criminals through the analysis of genetic material and to settle paternity disputes. It is still used for those reasons today ... . The process is done by taking samples of DNA from the crime scene and comparing it with samples from the accused. Samples are taken from biological materials like blood, semen, hair...

... always comes with a disease in one kind of family, the gene for this disease must be close to it. By using biotechnology, you can make a stronger strain of the same substance. You can also give better nutrition to and flavor to foods and give it the ability to fight off pest and diseases. Biotechnology is able to cut off a certain gene in one organism ... acid hybridization gives lab specialist a simple, direct way to use the DNA order of a gene as an exact test to detect and monitor that gene and what it is doing. By using biotechnology researchers can also identify someone if an unkno...
