During the election there were many issues debated between President Bush and Senator John Kerry. One of the most controversial was stem cell research. Both candidates felt strongly about their opinions. The voter was asked to choose between the two positions. However, when voters were asked about w...

Stem Cell research is an application that scientist are developing and perfecting at a rapid pace. Nowhere in the world can a person pick up a newspaper, magazine, or listen to a news show without hearing of some new discover or development. The headlines look at where stem cells come from and how...

Stem cell research has been at the forefront of many ethical debates in recent years. The manners in which the cells must be harvested and their usage for advancement in biomedical research along with the use of federal funds to finance the ongoing research has proven to be a debate that is not easi...

[pic] Almost all flowering plants are known as 'Angiosperms', which means plants whose seed production comes from flowering. Seeds are packaged within a fruit to be transported away from parent plant. Angiosperms are vascular plants containing xylem and phloem in bundled patterns. Plant cells, un...

Abstract:o The tree investigated was the Quercus. Pinus, L. This was a very interesting tree. To find out all information on this tree, steps were taken by doing hands on work to determine height, age, circumference, leaf and stem differences. Taking layers off the epidermis of the leaf, a tr...

SummaryClone is an organism, or group of organisms, derived from another organism by an asexual (nonsexual) reproductive process. The word clone has been applied to cells as well as to organisms, so a group of cells stemming from a single cell is also called a clone. Usually the members of a clone a...

Cloning In the movie Jurassic Park, we watched as man was able to recreate the existence of dinosaurs using blood and DNA preserved many years ago. This process of taking cells and using it to recreate a lifeform is called cloning. A few year ago man was blest with the discovery of cloning. But with...

Diabetes Diabetes, Diabetes Mellitus, is a chronic illness this means that it has no cure and the symptoms persist over a long period of time. This illness is a result of an imbalance of hormones, insulin, produced in the pancreas. Insulin plays an important role in how the body uses food. Ins...

Cloning is not an easy task, but because of such a growth in research it is worth the difficulties to carry out such an experiment. Cloning is based on nuclear transfer, which involve the use of two cells, the same technique scientists have used for some years to copy animals from embryonic cells. ...

Human cloning has become a hot topic for debate. As we progressed one step closer to successfully cloning and developing a human being, legislators and the general public have become more concerned about the ethical and moral implications of this procedure. The federal government has been unsuccessf...

Cloning is a process used to obtain an identical organism asexually. The clone it produces does not only look and think like its donor, its DNA is identical. DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. It is the substance that contains the genetic information for most organisms. In other words, it con...

THE MICROSCOPE EXPERIMENT - 1BACKGROUND:The use of a microscope is to provide a magnified view of objects (that are being analysed) that are otherwise to small to be seen by the naked eye. They can be described according to their illumination and lens arrangement.(i)Microscopes are able to use eit...

Terrorism is one of the great threats to the Western world during the 21st century, with the most devastating event of its kind probably occurring during Sept. 11, 2001. Since this time, the United States government and its affiliated agencies have been very busy creating policies and laws that wou...

Introduction: Optivus was formed in 1993 by the principal engineering team who designed Loma Linda's Proton Center. Optivus has since designed and implemented numerous enhancements, which have increased the variety of treatment sites and the number of patients that can be treated daily. Otivus Tech...

Is there a consensus on the morality of cloning, human or otherwise? This hotly debated question raises many eyebrows when this sensitive subject is brought up. Through the mess of scientific support and religious opposition, as well as moral and ethical dilemmas, one thing remains the same; cloni...

This paper will attempt to address what is perhaps the single most life altering issue facingour societies today. It is life altering in the utmost sense of the word, literally altering life as weknow it. Life on this planet has undergone some significant changes since the dawn of civilization;the d...

Three Different Types of CloningAlthough as far as we know, human cloning has not yet been attempted; there are several different reasons why society might want to use this new science. First a quick definition of the three types of cloning; embryo cloning, adult DNA cloning and therapeutic cloning....
