Traditionally, animals have been used to ensure the safety of our consumer products and drugs. Yet around the world, scientists, regulators and animal protectionists work together to develop alternatives to their use. The use of animals in the life sciences dates back to ancient Greece and the earli...

For centuries, animals have been used in medical research. Since 1875, animal experimentation has been an ongoing heated debate on whether experiments on animals are ethical. At the very start, the movement against animal testing focused mainly on the \"inhumanity of hurting and killing living being...

Traditionally, animals have been used to ensure the safety of our consumer products and drugs. Yet around the world, scientists, regulators and animal protectionists work together to develop alternatives to their use.

Many animal activists are disappointed with the pace at which animal testing is being reduced, refined, and especially, replaced (the "Three Rs" of the alternatives approach). Considerable progress has been made, however, in the science of alternatives and in the attitudes among toxicologists and co...

Today people go to the super market thinking they are getting good clean healthy products, but instead half of what they are buying has undergone genetic therapy. You pick up a beautiful looking red tomato and you think it has probably been on the vine the longest, but in fact almost all tom...

More than 130 million persons in the United States and Canada and millions more on all continents enjoy hunting, viewing, and feeding wildlife, according to a survey reported by the Wildlife Society, the organization for professionals (Odom 108). Commercial trapping (and its counterpart, commercial ...

The science technology and knowledge of science have gradually expand and tremendous improve over decades. Cloning research is one of many enormous breakthroughs in Science. The issue of cloning have always been controversial because there are always been an argument between religious belief and S...

Living in this time of the world whereby we constantly seek solutions in Science and its technology for our daily living, no less should it be understood that the answers they provide are not permanent as Science and hence its technology never will remain stagnant. Science is questioning. Its inve...

I. Description A. Nature of Work Marine Biology also refers to Biological Sciences or Biological Oceanography. Marine Science is the general term for research conducted in oceans and coastal or inland waters connected to the sea. This particular field is probably the best known to the public. Marine...

A century and a half ago, a man by the name of Charles Darwin went on a journey around the world. This trip sparked an idea that would permanently alter the future of biology, and in conjunction with a certain Alfred Wallace, led to the publication of one of the most controversial and earth-shaking ...

Carl Linnaeus was a scientific mastermind, still driven by his religious beliefs but intelligent enough not to let them stand in the way of what his findings were showing. Linnaeus was a botanist, a physician, and most importantly the founder of taxonomy. Throughout the course of his life he would ...

Fear in a Test Tube Cloning, genetically tailoring offspring, and creating the "perfect human" were all advances in science that seemed unattainable yet desirable. People were amazed by the myth of genetically altering DNA, and daydreamed of the day that they themselves could create ano...

The theory of evolution attempts to explain processes by which living organisms originated on earth and have been diversified and modified through changes in form and function Early explanations of these processes were attempted during the 18th century. The growth of natural history then led to an i...

For some unknown reason, the belief that human beings came from monkeys has been a translation of the theory of evolution. This is one of the biggest misconceptions in the many myths regarding evolution. Evolution is a process that explains why life on Earth looks the way it does today. It provides ...

LIFE The greater mankind's knowledge becomes, the harder it is to define the idea of life. This difficulty is curious since almost all human beings fell that they know, without any ambiguity, the difference between something alive and something dead. However, our advancing knowledge tells ...

Human Cloning Is It Ethical Or Is It Beneficial or Devastating Human cloning is a big issue in the world today. This has been a controversial issue over the possibilities that, human cloning would become the greatest breakthrough in the scientific world, or is it unet...

Creationism vs. Evolution The majority of people in this world believe that a spiritual being created earth. In fact, "most religions and cultures believe the universe was created by a 'creative hand,' either a sky god or some other physical object" (Encarta 1). Think of it, as a trial to see ...

Molecular Biotechnology in Our Life If you have had a can of soft drink, ate a fruit, or took some head ache medicine this morning - then it's very likely you have used a genetically enhanced product. Genetics is a part of biotechnology that manipulates biological organisms to make products...

Entomology is the study of insects, involving their biology and control in relation to their environment and to man. Entomology also had an independent scientific discipline which had roots in biology. Some entomologists are involved in reducing harmful species of insects that destroy food, housin...

Benefits of Genetically Modified OrganismsWe live in a world that is constantly changing and advancing thanks to technological advancements, especially in the field of molecular genetics. Today, we are discovering and implementing new ways to overcome the ill-fated symptoms develop...

The idea of a perfect race was first thought of way back during World War II, by Adolf Hitler. He wanted a nation of tall, healthy, intelligent, blonde-haired humans and these were the beginnings of biological engineering. The experiments carried out on the Jews, in the concentration camps, were utt...

A clone is an organism, or group of organisms derived from another organism by an asexual (nonsexual) reproductive process. A group of cells stemming from a single cell is also called a clone. Usually the members of a clone are identical in their inherited characteristics. An example of clone is ide...

Biological clocks, internal molecular machines that keep track of time within organisms, and circadian rhythms, which keep track of the 24-hour cycle of day and night and light and dark, both enable organisms to adapt their behavior according to the most suitable conditions. There are many selectiv...

Cloning is creating an exact copy of a living organism from a single cell, using an asexual reproduction where the organism inherits the genetically characteristics from the parent who donated the cell. In my point of view, cloning is a necessary evil in most situations where the main aim is to prov...

Few scientists have been as influential or as controversial as Charles Darwin has. He is considered by many to be the father of the theory of evolution. He knew that there was a great deal of variation among members of a species and that some of these variation made individuals more fit to survive...
