... to judge a book by its cover, or is it fair to assume that every Twinkie has a different flavored filling, so to speak. In our school alone it is safe to say that there are roughly seventy-five different cultural backgrounds and probably ten different main sects of religion. But it’s unfortunate that people even today are judged by the of their skin and not the content of their character as Martin Luther King Jr. has said.

During the replication of the gene pairs chance events such as mutations, can change their structure and prompt evolution. Through human interference we can compose our own evolution by using genetic engineering. By using this genetic engineering, scientist have the means to isolate, cut and split different genes from different species, and then amplify the number of copies of the gene that they are interested in. This process has four steps. First, enzymes are used to cut DNA molecules into smaller fragments. Sec ...
