51. Cerus developed a chemical that, when exposed to ultraviolet light, binds to the genetic material. 52. Cloning involves putting the genetic material of a donor into an egg where the nucleus has been removed to create a genetic copy of the donor. 53. Companies would bombard hamburger or sausages, for example, at the end stages of processing with radiation that kills bacteria by fracturing their genetic material. 54. DNA is the genetic material present in all living cells. 55. DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, comprises the genetic material passed on from generation to generation that forms the building blocks of nearly every living creature. 56. DNA, the genetic material scientists call the building block of life, is rapidly becoming the stumbling block of violent criminals. 57. Defective genetic material can be replaced with healthy genes in patients suffering from immunological disorders, various cancers and metabolic diseases. 58. Dr. Matalipova works at a microscope, using a sharp pipette to remove genetic material from a cow egg. 59. Dr. Michael Hansen at Consumers Union says that whether or not genetic material can be detected in soft drinks, they are genetically altered foods. 60. Dr. Lisette Waits performed the analyses of the genetic material in the nucleus of the bear cells at the University of Idaho. |
