On February 22, 1996, Ian Wilmut brought cloning of animals to our attention, when the first animal was successfully cloned, on that history-making day the cloned sheep named Dolly was born. Wilmut took a cell from the udder of a six-year -old ewe and sparked a jolt of electricity to fuse it to the...

Genetic Research Genetic engineering is the directed alteration of genetic material by intervention in genetic processes (Webster's 9th New Collegiate Dictionary). Genetic engineering is a controversial subject. Some people think that it is necessary while others think that it is harmf...

Rosalind Franklin was born in London, England on July twenty-fifth, nineteen hundred and twenty. She was raised in a well-to-do Jewish family and that provided her with an exceptional educational back round in Physics and Chemistry at St. Paul's Girls' School and Cambridge University.

DNA was once considered a mystery of science. One of the people that helped to discover and solve the mysteries of DNA was Rosalind Franklin. Even though she had to struggle against a great deal of male ignorance in the scientific community, she still made an impact on the world of science.Born on...
