identified (Table 2). Among these SNPs, the p. P479L missense mutation in CYP2C19 gene on cat chromosome D3.56761959 caused by a cytosine-to-guanine (C>G) transversion has a high probability of altering protein morphology and/or function predicted by PolyPhen2 with a damaging score of 0.997 (sensitivity: 0.41, specificity: 0.98). In addition, the p.A236G missense mutation in P2RY1 gene on cat chromosome D2.110685284 caused by a guanine-to-cytosine (G>C) transversion had some probability to cause

affected by genetic disorders every day. Abnormalities in one’s DNA are what cause a genetic disorder. These disorders could be as little as a mutation in a single gene. In another case, they could be as severe as having an extra chromosome, or taking away a chromosome. Genetic disorders are present from birth, but they may not be visibly seen until a later age. Some mutations could be heritable, or from your parents genes. Some forms of cancer can be inherited form a parent. Although, in most

specifically involving meiosis. Meiosis is a special type of cell division which results in four gametes that have half the genes that the parent has. In the meiosis we were able to see that each parent contributed three chromosomes from one of their gametes to make a total of six chromosomes in each baby drake. If three of the six come from one parents and the other three come from the other parent then that supports the claim that a baby drake receives half of its genes from its mother and the other half

THE VOICE OF THE VOICELESS: EVALUATING THE CONTEMPORARY STANCE ON ABORTION ABSTRACT The willful taking of another man’s life has been termed immoral not only in the religious parlance. In the political realm, fundamental human rights and humanitarian principles hold the protection and preservation of human life as the most important exigency to be unflinchingly promoted among nations. While the principle of “right to life” has been promoted by many UN nations, the phenomenon of abortion has become

Rett Syndrome (RTT) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder caused by a mutation of a gene found on the X chromosome; it have been thought that RTT was exclusively found in females, but a limited number of males with RTT have been reported (Renieri et al, 2003). Unlike females, who have two X chromosomes, males only have one X-chromosome. Because males lack a "backup" copy of the X chromosome that can compensate for a faulty one, RTT is often fatal to males (Katz et al, 2012). Prior research has

AGEING Introduction Ageing refers to change with respect to time. In human beings ageing refers to physical and mental changes with respect to time. As the time passes a person grows old and his physical body becomes weak but his mentality has increased due to experiences.In scientific language senescenceis the term used for aging process. It is measured by the person’s date of birth which comes once in a year. The process of ageing is so interesting because it starts by your birth when you open

INTRODUCTION Verkerk discovered the fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) gene in 1991, in individuals with a chromosomal instability at the 5’-untranslated exon 1 on the long arm of the X chromosome (Xq27.3), a location closely related to autoimmunity (Verkerk et al., 1991). The position of this unstable region in a non-coding exon is a typical trait shared by other nucleotide repeat disorders, even though the reason of such association remains unknown. At present, more than 30 genetic disorders

In natural child conception, the mother provides the the two X chromosomes and the father provides the X and Y chromosomes. The balance of genetic make up is

Introduction Down syndrome (DS) is a genetic disorder having a full or partial extra copy of chromosome number 21. It is a common to such an extent one in every 800 newborn babies in the United States have Down syndrome. Affected individuals experience a mild to moderate intellectual disability, cognitive delays and physical delays of motor development across the life span (“Down syndrome”, 2012). In particular, a weak muscle tone in infancy is the cause of physical delays in human development
