Genetic Modification Innovations, Applications, and Implications Introduction Genetic modification (GM), also referred to as genetic engineering, is a transformative biotechnology tool that involves altering the genetic material of an organism to achieve desired traits. This process encompasses the insertion, deletion, or modification […]
Genotypes Foundations of Heredity, Variation, and Modern Applications Introduction Genotypes represent the genetic code carried by an organism, inherited from its parents, which dictates potential traits and biological functions. Coined by Wilhelm Johannsen in the early 1900s, the term separates inherited genetic […]
Tumor Suppressor Genes: A Comprehensive Overview Introduction Tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) are crucial in regulating cell growth and preventing uncontrolled cell division. When these genes become mutated or inactivated, they can contribute to cancer development. Understanding their function is essential in oncology, […]
Ataxia Interventions: Strategies for Management and Treatment Introduction Ataxia is a neurological disorder characterized by impaired coordination, affecting gait, balance, and speech. It can result from genetic mutations, neurodegenerative diseases, stroke, trauma, or toxins. Interventions aim to improve motor function, enhance quality […]
