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.

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 Origin Of World Religions.

Friends this is a very special topic as we all are related to it in some or the other way. I know that some of u reading this article may be an atheist.. but no matter how much we ignore 'The All father(God) and religions' we simply are the part of it because humans are social beings and if w e have to live in a community then it becomes mandatory to follow certain laws.
