2000 and Beyond-DNA


 * The Role Science Played in Society at the Time**
 * 1) __**Cloning**__- refers to copying genes and other pieces of chromosomes to generate enough identical material for further study. Two other types of cloning produce complete, genetically identical animals. Blastomere separation (sometimes called "twinning" after the naturally occurring process that creates identical twins) involves splitting a developing embryo soon after fertilization of the egg by a sperm (sexual reproduction) to give rise to two or more embryos. The resulting organisms are identical twins (clones) containing DNA from both the mother and the father. Dolly, on the other hand, is the result of another type of cloning that produces an animal carrying the DNA of only one parent.
 * 2) __**Forensic DNA Research**__- this type of research is used when trying to find imporant informantion in crime cases, detect bacteria and other organisms that may pollute air, water, soil, and food, match organ donors with recipients in transplant programs, and identify endangered and protected species as an aid to wildlife officials.
 * 3) __**Peternity Tests**__- using DNA to discover who the father of a child is.

A much less virulent version of the Black Death plague that killed a third of Europe's population in the 14th century is still present today, according to a study published Tuesday. DNA testing on the skeletons of plague victims unearthed in a medieval London mass grave reveals part of the same gene sequence as the modern bubonic plague, despite its different attributes.

 * 10 Facts**

 DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid.  DNA is part of our definition of a living organism.  DNA is found in all living things.  DNA was first isolated in 1869 by Friedrich Miescher.  Almost all the cells in our body have DNA with the exception of red blood cells.  DNA is the "blueprint" of life.  The segment of DNA designated a gene is made up of exons and introns.  There are many conformations of DNA: A-DNA, B-DNA, and Z-DNA are the only ones found in nature.  Genes are made of DNA.  Genes are pieces of DNA passed from parent to offspring that contain hereditary information
