There are about thirty other disorders associated with the Xq28 area including manic depression and favism.

Human Cloning

.... one. That means close to 94% of the patients did not receive one and this is only one organ in one country that were talking about. Statistics show that nearly one third of the patients on the waiting list for organs will die and even if they do receive an organ the human body has the tendency to reject organs which can cause serious illness or death. If we cloned human organs we would be eliminating a major killer of humans and if the organ was rejected by the patients body we could simply make another one to suit the patient. This would mean fewer complications, little or no waiti .....

Solving The Mystery Of The Romanovs
Number of words: 476 - Number of pages: 2

.... during fertilization, mitochondria are only passed on from the egg. This means that the mitochondria DNA is passed on from the mother. This information becomes useful when using them for identification purposes. In any given cell, there are thousands of copies of mitochondrial DNA. This relative abundance of mitochondrial DNA can be used by scientists to obtain DNA from samples where genomic DNA analysis is difficult of impossible. The first question was which, if any, of the bones found belonged to the Czar. To answer this, mitochondrial DNA was obtained eight adult male femur bo .....

Devastation Of The Rain Forests
Number of words: 1653 - Number of pages: 7

.... whose homes are in the rainforests of South America. For every acre that is lost in the burning season, there is one acre less that we have for possible life saving medicines. About 70 percent of plants used in anti- cancer drug come are the rain forest. We are slowly destroying the environment and ourselves. Whether we realize it or not, the world could quickly come to an ecological stop. Every day 144,000 acres of the rainforests are cut down, slashed and/or put up in flames. In 1974, Brazil started a forest fire of 20.6 million square feet (3,900 square miles). The fire ragged out o .....

Planting Flowers

.... area where they originated. Although all native plants are wild, not all wildflowers are natives" (Loewer 6). Where did the non-native flowers come from and how did they get here? "Probably the largest number of plants accidentally introduced in this country arrived in ships' ballast. Because the early merchant ships that sailed from Europe were empty of goods on the trip over, their hulls were loaded with dirt so that they would float properly. When they arrived in America, the dirt was removed and left onshore. The seeds it contained then began to spread, bloom, produce more seed, .....

.... is an ornithologist & Dobzhansky has worked mainly with Drosophila). More importantly Sexual reproduction is the predominate form of reproduction in these groups. It is not coincidental that the BSC is less widely used amongst botanists. Terrestrial plants exhibit much more greater diversity in their mode of reproduction than vertebrates and insects. There has been many criticisms of the BSC in its theoretical validity and practical utility. For example, the application of the BSC to a number of groups is problematic because of interspecific hybridisation between clearly delimited sp .....

.... It is also found in the earth’s crust. Sir Walter Ramsey and Morris W. Travers discovered it in 1898. Its uses include electric signs, lamps, and lasers. Argon is the most abundant and most used noble on earth. Sir Walter Ramsey discovered it by Lord Rayleigh and in 1894. Argon makes up about 1.2 % of the earths atmosphere. It is found naturally in rock and in the air. It is used for electric light bulbs and fluorescent tubes. It is also used a lot in industry. Krypton a very rare noble was discovered by Sir Walter Ramsey and by Morris W. Travers. Traces of it are found in natura .....

The Prospect Of Cold Fusion
Number of words: 1350 - Number of pages: 5

.... form of hydrogen called deuterium are brought together with metals, such as palladium, titanium, and nickel. Usually, some triggering mechanism, such as electricity or even acoustic energy, is required to provoke the "cold fusion" effects. Both ordinary hydrogen and deuterium are abundant in ordinary water so the process would likely end many of the world's energy concerns, if it can be developed commercially. One of the biggest reasons that cold fusion is so difficult to replicate is that it is not easy to supersaturate a metal with hydrogen or deuterium. The electrolyte, hydrogen or .....

Can We Say "NO" To Recycling
Number of words: 2392 - Number of pages: 9

.... less. Recycling has proven its efficiency in solving the problem of garbage disposal at landfills1. By the accumulation of garbage throughout the years, space available for garbage has largely diminished. In the states for example almost 67% of their waste stream ends up in landfills.(Scott 25). This has in fact increased the price of disposal. As Kimball stated "tipping fees" at landfills, is so often prohibitive(3), and some cannot find landfills to dump their garbage. It can cost up to $158 to pick a ton of garbage and dispose it.(Consumer Reports 1994). Beside, these landfills pollute .....
