Select an article from a magazine or newspaper that has something in it that pertains to biology. This will serve as the “target article” for this assignment. For instance, you can select an article about medicine, invasive species, nature, conservation, genetic technology, ecology, or any other topic that is related to biology. One purpose of this assignment is to help you become aware of how biology is related to your everyday life.
Write a one to three (1-3) page paper in which you:
1. Summarize the article in one (1) or more paragraphs, using your own words. Be sure to identify the article using an in-text citation in the body of the paper, as well as a reference in the reference section.
2. Explain how the article relates to this course. Identify which biological concepts from the course and / or text are relevant to the topic covered in the article. Citing the course text, discuss the ways in which this course does (or doesn’t) provide background information to help you understand the article and the larger issues surrounding it.
3. Explain why the article caught your attention. Relate the article to your life and to issues that are important to you. Discuss how or if the scientific knowledge about the topic covered in the article affects you directly or indirectly.
4. Discuss your opinion on how research on this topic should be funded. State whether you think taxpayer monies should support research on this topic or whether such research in this area should be funded by the private sector. Rate the importance of research on this topic, relative to other areas of research.
In aIDition to the target article, you should use at least one aIDitional resource, such as your textbook or another article. You must have a reference section which contains an APA reference to your chosen article and all other sources.

Quality Technology is one of the branches of current Biotechnology worried with comprehension the outflow of qualities, exploiting regular hereditary variety, adjusting and/or exchanging qualities to new have to make results of fancied characteristics. Quality Technology concentrates on the ranges, for example, Gene Mapping, Gene Expression, Peptide groupings, Nucleic corrosive succession, Genetic screen, Reverse hereditary qualities, Gene cloning, RNA Sequencing, Linkage Analysis, Hybridization Techniques, Blotting Techniques, Polymerase Chain Reaction, DNA Footprinting, Gene Replacement, Cloning Vectors, DNA Synthesis, DNA Hybridization, Gene thumping and so forth. (Yue et al., 2015).
Two chains of DNA turn around one another to shape a DNA twofold helix with the phosphate-sugar spine spiralling around the outside, and the bases directing inwards with adenine base matching toward thymine and guanine to cytosine. The specificity of base matching happens on the grounds that adenine and thymine adjust structure two hydrogen bonds, while cytosine and guanine structure three hydrogen bonds.
