And in that space station we have the genetic material, the chromosomes, within a nucleus.

This was an African man who gave rise to all the Y chromosome diversity around the world.

Unusual cases of Down apos s syndrome twins have also emerged, as have bone deformities, genetic syndromes and the presence of abnormal chromosomes.

Similarly, exposure to the alpha radiation of plutonium produces chromosomal instability, which can be transmitted to offspring and can lead to the appearance of cancers in later generations or to mutations.

It's on the X chromosome. And so in this way you can only get it from your mother.

Bottom right are the sex chromosomes.

With regard to the deliberate release and introduction of genetically engineered organisms and the use of genome analysis and gene therapy for the treatment of human beings, and as a result of a federal act regulating the handling of genetically engineered organisms, i.e. the so called Gene Technology Act (Gentechnikgesetz), a gene technology commission and a permanent scientific committee for genome analysis and gene therapy have been established.

The Y chromosome, the piece of DNA that makes men men, traces a purely paternal line of descent.

And one that is not heritable because who would want to pass on to their children the archaic enhancement modules that they got 25 years earlier from their parents?

A compulsory medical examination for prospective couples in order to ensure the absence or causes of hereditary or contagious diseases which portend danger for the child.

Genetic privacy and non discrimination

Genetic privacy and non discrimination

(i) Genetic privacy and non discrimination.

Genetic screening and counselling should also be included in the programme a high number of chromosome pathologies are being registered among the exposed population and risks continue among their offspring.

But what's even more amazing is that if you look at the Y chromosome side, the male side of the story, the Y chromosome Adam only lived around 60,000 years ago.

Dr. Kauffman calls it an epidemic of mass hysteria.

The pregnancy is terminated if the foetus has a congenital developmental defect not compatible with life, multiple congenital developmental defects, or foetal chromosomal pathology confirmed with cytogenetic tests after the use of an invasive diagnostics method.

A strange neurosis... evidently contagious an epidemic of mass hysteria.

Contagious diseases

Sexually transmissible infections

Communicable diseases

Implementation of the strategy commenced on 1 July 2005, focusing on three key action areas sexually transmitted diseases in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities sexually transmitted diseases in homosexually active men and chlamydia control and prevention.

Inherited Malignancy

You can see areas where neuronal cell bodies are being stained.

STI' Sexually Transmitted Infections

Certain conditions of a perinatal nature 67.7 per cent Congenital malformations, deformations and chromological abnormalities 12.6 per cent Diseases of circular system 2.1 per cent Symptoms, signs and other abnormal and laboratory findings and diagnosis that are not categorized 6 per cent Certain infectious diseases 3.9 per cent Other diseases, conditions and injuries 7.8 per cent.

They're infectious.

Emerging Infectious Diseases

Other sexually transmissible infections

Health promotion, prevention and control of disease, both communicable and non communicable

Chronically mass non contagious illnesses

The vet diagnosed this as transmissible venereal tumor, a sexually transmitted cancer that affects dogs.

And we have a terrible chlamydia epidemic terrible chlamydia epidemic which sticks around for many years.

The chromosomes line up.

The way I suspect it will happen is using artificial chromosomes and extra chromosomes, so we go from 46 to 47 or 48.

So what sex does is it enables the individual to draw upon the genetic innovations of the whole species.

Turner syndrome, a chromosomal abnormality in which all or part of one of the sex chromosomes is absent, manifests itself in several ways. These include characteristic physical abnormalities (most often non functioning ovaries, which results in the absence of menstrual cycles and sterility) and various other health problems, such as congenital heart disease, low thyroid hormone levels, and autoimmune diseases.

So this is a single chromosome.

(d) The transport of infectious substances

Curing Hereditary Breast Cancer

HIV 1 HIV 2 1 percent

In the total structure of contagious and parasitic diseases in 2001, the most represented one is the group of respiratory contagious diseases with 84,8 cases of diseases, then the group of intestinal contagious diseases with 10,4 and parasitic diseases with 3,4 , while the remaining 1,5 consists of other contagious diseases.

The old idea that certain human beings were superior to others because of the colour of their skin, their spiritual practices or their genetic disposition, was today hiding behind the profound irrefutability of cultural, ethnic or religious diversity.

Furthermore, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), which increase the likelihood of contracting HIV, are more often undetected and therefore untreated in women.

And you have two strands of DNA in each chromosome.
