Drosophila melanogaster, also referred to as âfruit flies,â are one of the most commonly used test subjects in genetic research. In the early 1900s, Thomas Hunt Morgan found a correlation between chromosomal mutations and heredity using fruit flies (Markow, 2015). Throughout the 20th and into the 21st century, research continued using fruit flies bringing forth notable findings such as genetic control during early development of an embryo, and receptor proteins innately activate the immune system in response to bacteria exposure...

Discovery and development of forensic genetics took a long time and required a lot of field practice. After the discovery of the ABO blood types, scientists start to use blood groups in identification for forensic genetics. In 1910, the French criminologist Edmond Locard proposed the Locardâs exchange principle and stated that âevery contact leaves a trace,â which laid the foundation for modern forensic science (1). In 1953, the discovery of the double-helical structure of DNA enabled the start of forensic...

Rationale It has been claimed that âfuture medicine will only be based on synthetic DNA (XNA) technologyâ. Synthetic DNA are proteins that can duplicate synthetic genetic material. It could lead doctors to begin treating diseases by allowing the synthetic genetic material to interfere and prevent vital processes in the course of the disease. In theory, this method could function on all diseases (Sjorgen, 2012). As a result of initial research, a broad research question âCan synthetic DNA treat diabetes?â was...

Large land based telescopes gather a vast amount of light with their large mirrors and they can be used to survey substantial portions of the night sky. Whereas space telescopes are smaller in size and work with large land-based observatories to look at smaller regions of the night sky in plenty of detail. Justified scientific arguments using Evidence Land Based telescopes catch light waves and...
