MEDICAL RESEARCH--GENETIC CODING

A  chromosome    is  a  condensed   strand   of DNA.There  are  23  pairs  of  chromosomes  in  the  human  cell  and  together   they  contained   about  100,000   genes.Every  gene  is  a    tiny  segment  of  DNA made  up of  paired  nucleotide  bases   arranged   in  triplets.The  entire  sequence  bases  forms  the  specific  genetic  code(genome)  of an organism.A  world  wide  research  effort known  as  the  Human Genome  Project has  been  set  up   to  identify and  code  all  the  genes  in  human   DNA.
TISSUE  ENGINEERING
An   artificial   human ear, developed  by   growing   human  cartilage  in a biodegradable  polyester scaffold mould,  was  grafted    onto  the  back  of  a  mouse  to  see  whether  outer skin  would  form  and  the  blood  would  circulate.This  experiment was  carried  out  at  the Massachusetts Institute  of Technology,Dr.  C.Vacanti,  is a  vital  step  towards  using  such  structures  in  future  human   transplant    surgery.

GORILLAS

Gorillas are ground-dwelling, predominantly herbivorous apes that inhabit the forests of central Sub-Saharan Africa. The genus Gorilla is divided into two species: the eastern gorillas and the western gorillas, and either four or five subspecies. They are the largest living primates. Gorillas' natural habitats cover tropical or subtropical forests in Sub-Saharan Africa. Although their range covers a small percentage of Sub-Saharan Africa, gorillas cover a wide range of elevations. The mountain gorilla inhabits the Albertine Rift montane cloud forests of the Virunga Volcanoes, ranging in altitude from 2,200 to 4,300 metres (7,200 to 14,100 ft). Lowland gorillas live in dense forests and lowland swamps and marshes as low as sea level, with western lowland gorillas living in Central West African countries and eastern lowland gorillas living in the Democratic Republic of the Congo near its border with Rwanda.
