Some crimes seem impossible to solve. Not enough evidence and or, not enough witnesses. In today's world, crime is spread all over the news. “Two bodies found by local park.” Crazy stories that are publicly thrown out but shouldn't have the publicity that they get. It's sickening but yet at the same time it makes you want justice for those people and their families. It takes time and a lot of DNA samples to be able to actually find the right match on who committed the crime. Some people wait months, others wait years. Shannon Kohler, a serial killer, netted more than 600 DNA samples to find whether he had committed the crime or not. Not only does DNA help reveal the truth, it leads to more eye opening evidence. For example, whereabouts the murder was at, or what time the murders had occur. To get DNA samples from an individual there has to be a court order. Then they decide whether or not that individual should be tested for the evidence. This indeed helps solve crimes but yet it is taking away civil liberties of some innocent people. The government should put in stricter controls over the use of DNA because it does help solve crimes. More than half of the U.S. States require cops to collect DNA after an arrest for certain offenses. Some states require automatic removal of genetic data collected from a person whose case is later dismissed. Some laws retain the sample indefinitely. DNA can be revealing and have personal details, but yet it still is for the better. DNA use
cellular structure and composition as well as the functions of individual structures in the cell as they relate to the organism as a whole. This course will also include information on genetics as it relates to heredity as well as discussions on how DNA contains all of the information for creating a living organism. We will also be discussing Biology on a larger scale with topics such as ecology and evolution. There will also be a variety of laboratory exercises and projects which are designed to…
modified organism (GMO) What is Genetically Modified Organism? Genetically modified Organism is plants or animals that have been genetically engineered with DNA from the bacteria, viruses, or like from other animals and plants. A Genetically Modified Organism is created when a DNA from one organism is combined with another organism’s DNA to make into one molecule. Currently, many types of GMO crops like sugar beet, maize, rice, cotton and etc. have been developed by transgenic methods, and its…
Cell Biology – Test 4 – Final – Cancer 1. Gene expression in Cancerous cells a. Mutation – sequence change in the bases of DNA b. In cancerous cells, mutations cause cells to lose control over mitosis i. Proto-oncogene – protein normally causes cells to divide, mutation causes protein to produce a higher rate of mitosis ii. Multiple changes can occur. 1. make the proto-oncogene to the oncogene (mutated version) 2. Could make copies…
Detective in Disguise My interest in crime shows sprouted in a cold winter night in December. My mother and I curled under a blanket with teas in hand and watched CSI: Miami because nothing else was on. As Lieutenant Horatio Caine’s team progressed, we cheered them on and gave them advice we knew they wouldn’t follow. We laughed at their jokes and tensed when a robber took hostages. It felt like I and my mother were a part of their team as partners. So much that we competed to be the first one to…
completely change these functions in the body and express other characteristics. These are all encompassed in the genetic manipulation or engineering. Every organism (both plants and animals) can be manipulated by changing the genetic structure in the DNA. This will lead to formation of a transgenic organism whose genes have been altered hence it will be different from the rest of the organisms. These organisms will end up with several traits or characteristics that are different from their family. There…
matter whether a person is right or wrong just as long as they can justify their actions to make them look and feel good. Justifying something is used as a means to back our decision so people will not criticize or hurt us. Most people think it is okay just as long it does not cause them pain. The moral view a person holds is found to be the largest argument backing their decision to oppose or support abortion. Is it morally all right to kill a human being? Is it morally all right to tell a woman…
investigation of your crime scene. Since the scene is a homicide case. The investigator needs to be careful not to contaminate the crime scene with his/her DNA. Dried blood Dried blood should be collected with either a cotton swab or gauze that is sterile, considering the stain is on a surface. Since the blood was dried a little sterile water is okay to extract the blood. If there is blood stains on the flooring then a piece of the flooring should be cut out to go with the sample to the lab. The…
role models, but there are some celebrities, and people that make terrible bad role models. The reason is because kids see what's in the news everyday, online, and in magazines. Kids see and tend to mimic what others do. Thinking that what they do is okay even if it may be wrong. Not all role models are bad, some are good but bad role models are the ones we should not look up to. An example of a bad role model is Casey Anthony a mother of a 3 year old daughter, who has been in the headlines ever since…
of special features and science, you have been asked to write an article between 800-1000 words in which you argue do science and nature go hand in hand? Ask yourself. Should science and nature combine together or should it not be allowed at all? Okay so genetic engineering is one of the many evil things in our society. But some people believe that it’s good to some extent for plants and for animals, as it means that we can ensure better quality produce and livestock. Some believe that it may save…
Abortion or murder! No one believes that it is correct to take a life of another person, so why is it okay to take the life of a fetus or zygote. You are violating the rights of the soon to be person, and he/she is completely defenseless against the situation. Why would you take the life of someone when there are alternatives that do not harm or kill anyone. There are also preventatives and contraceptives so that women who feel they do not want a kid can prevent having one. There are plenty of reasons…
