THREE PARENTS BABY...yes thats possible

UK became the first country to have officially approved procedures to create “three-parent” babies.

What exactly is the "three parent child"?

1-Mitochondrial Replacement therapy (MRT) is used to replace mother’s faulty Mitochondrial DNA with healthy Mitochondria from a donor woman during IVF process, thus the name- “three-parent” baby.(Mitochondria is a cell organel found inside a living cell..it is the power house of cell as it produces ATP out of the food we consume)..

2-The donor’s mitochondria contribute just 37 genes to the child, compared with more than 20,000 from the parents. That is a negligible amount and far less than one would gain from a blood transfusion or organ transplant.

3-No other characteristics in terms of intelligence, eye colour, hair colour, height etc. are changed.

About Mitochondrial Disease...

1-The mitochondria are organelles inside cells that are involved in releasing energy by producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the key energy currency that drives metabolism.

2-Mitochondria are inherited solely from the mother and this results into cases of babies been born with rare mitochondrial diseases if mother has the faulty mitchochondrial DNA.

Earthquakes And The Science Behind Its Mechanism...

Sign of Focus or Epicenter.. Hello Friends, welcome to my blog once again. Today I'll be talking about one of the most catastrophic calamities which world faces now-and-then i.e. Earthquakes. Friends many times when a news of an earthquake flashes on the TVs you must have wondered.. - How do these earthquakes occur and how can they be detected? - Why do they occur? - What are the possibilities that we can prevent it or mitigate its effects? - What is the science behind it? ETC.. So people, I will clear all these doubts in my todays article… Introduction.. Major earthquake zones.. An Earthquake is a trembling, shaking and vibrations of ground caused by passage of energy in the form of waves via breaking of rocks. The most immediate cause of most of the earthquakes is 'Faulting'(breaking and movement of rocks). The actual location of or zone below the earth surface where faulting occurs is known as 'Focus of an earthquake'. This focus lies below the surface bu...

The Holy Russia To The Soviet Russia..(Part 1)

Friends this is a long topic and I have divide it in 3 Major Parts i.e.; The introduction to Russian Empire, its extent and economic expansion, Tsar Dynasty and Working classes & 1st uprising. The Rise of Marxism and the revolution of 1905-07. The Bolshevik Revolution and the end of Autocracy(i.e. the Tsar rule.). When we talk about the top players of United Nations and the most strongest nations in this era of 'economic wars' we have only 3 nations on our list i.e. "USA, Russian Federation, The Republic Of China". But very few people know about the past of these nations. They were also like some common developing nations once fighting with internal problems, hunger, poverty autocracy etc. The introduction to Russian Empire, its extent and economic expansion. The Holy Russia(as it was called after the establishment of Tsar rule)after 1460s had begun to expand in Asia, the victory in Napoleonic Wars(In 1815, Tsar Alex...

NEW MATTER ‘EXCITONIUM’ DISCOVERED..

Above is the image of the temperature and pressure level in main States of Matter found today.. Friends you must have learned in schools the 3 states of matter solid liquid and gases. Then as we grew up and took up for higher classes we got to know about more states of matters (like Plasma-Bose Einstein condensate-Quantum etc),but its obvious many of you must be knowing it from highschool days..atleast i was not such a genius boy... For more information on States of Matter you can visit this wikipedia link below..it can give you the basics of all the states of matter found yet... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_of_matter Friends do you know that there are about 15 to 20 states of matter(atleast of which i know) that exisit today. Even the basics one ie; the solid liquid and gas have their sub catagories..soilds have 4 sub catagories and liquids have 2.. A new partical was discovered recently which works on an Electrostatic Coulomb Force called as 'EXCITONIUM...
