WHAT IS BIOLOGY?

Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms.

In the future,we will have an opportunity to play with the genetics of our kids.Choose their eye colour,hair colur,skin colour and even height!!!

BIOTECHNOLOGY &

GENETIC ENGINEERING

GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOOD

is shortly saying

Biotechnology:

BIOLOGY + TECHNOLOGY

Genetically modified food is our future.It will make healthy foods enjoyable; unhealthy ones undesirable.But in our oppinion playing with the genetics of food might have bad results.

Genetic Engineering:

is the manipulation of an organism's genome using biotechnology.

FUTURE OF BIOLOGY

STEM CELL TREATMENT

GENE THERAPY

MEDICINE

With stem cell treatment it will be possible to cure illnesses such as Parkinson and leukemia.

Healthy adult stem cells are collected from a patient and manipulated in the laboratory to create new tissue. The tissue would be re-transplanted back into the patient's body, where it would work to restore a lost function.

''It’s very difficult to predict where science and technology are going.This is going to be a century of biology. We are entering an age of synthesis. So many discoveries have been made in biology in the cell, at the molecular level, and on up to the development of organisms. Increasingly now, these discoveries are beginning to throw light upon ecosystems and the processes of evolution beyond what we had.''

(Harward University Biologist) Edward O. Wilson

Imagine a world where a person could change his or her genetic structure and redirect the future course of evolution in their child and themselves.this is possible thanks to gene therapy.

The definition of gene therapy is a "technique where the genes causing a defect are themselves substituted by correct genes in the patient to cure a disease.Gene therapy will become the "medicine" of the near future.

SCIENTHIFIC FORESIGHTS...

1-Cloning people

2-Designer babies

3-Geneticaly Modified food

4-Gene Therapy and Stem Cells

(future of medicine)

Notes

HUMAN CLONING

Ideas

Human cloning is the creation of a genetically identical copy of a human.

There are 2 types of human cloning: therapeutic cloning and reproductive cloning.

Therapeutic cloning involves cloning cells from an adult for use in medicine and transplants, and is an active area of research.

Reproductive cloning would involve making cloned humans, for couples wanting to have a child, but cannot naturally.

Ideas

Note:A human clone wasn't made until now but,with the developing technology it will be possible.
