    DNA: The Molecule of Life


    Passed from parents to offspring, DNA contains the specific instructions that
    make each type of living creature unique. It carries the instructions for
    assembling proteins which in turn responsible for the formation of a variety of

    Breeding
    Perhaps the earliest example of
    selective breeding is the domestic dog
    (Canis familiaris). Humans have As per domesticated and bred dogs,
    been breeding digs for atleast they favored specific traits, like size
    14,000 years. Domestic dog or intelligence, for certain tasks, As
    evolved from the wild gray wolf a result, many dog breeds visibly
    (Canis lupus), and through differ in appearance, a unique
    artificial selection, humans were phenomenon in the animal world.
    able to create hundreds of
    different dog breeds.
    By isolating wild cabbage plants with
    specific characteristics, farmers were able
    to create a variety of vegetables from a
    single source, each with differing flavors
    and textures.
    Scientist believe that early Mexican
    farmers selected only the largest and

    rejecting punier kernels. Allowed Mexican

    Plasmids are used to amplify or
    produce many copies of certain
    genes in molecular cloning. It is
    a type of vector (a DNA
    e=sequence that can transport
    foreign genetic material from
    one cell to another cell, where
    the genes can be further
    expressed and replicated.)
