Source: http://sportsnscience.utah.edu/how-much-do-genes-affect-your-athletic-potential/ Sports science research at the University of Utah recently discovered the effect of genes on one's athleticism. We all have two copies of each gene, one from each of our parents. If one of the copies is poor, for example in the transport of oxygen in the blood, that person will likely have more difficulty running and other aerobic activities. Some “sports genes” discovered are ATCN-3, which enables high-speed movements in people, and ACE, which controls blood flow in the circulatory system. Most great athletes have two good copies of these genes. Some national team coaches find it helpful to send their team's athletes for genetic testing to see if they carry the genes useful for that particular sport. I think that's not really fair to many athletes who may not be blessed with good athletic genes. I can relate to this study because I play softball and field hockey, and I certainly believe that I don't have two good copies of the ACE gene because I tend to lose my breath very quickly.

New York: The Lyons Press, 1998. Print.Dr. Wilmut's cloning of Dolly the sheep from an adult sheep was hotly contested by Dr. Norton D. Zinder, a microbiologist at Rockefeller University. Zinder believes it's possible, but there simply isn't enough evidence to prove it. It was noted that sheep cloning was only successful 1 in 400 times, which from a scientific perspective is not a successful outcome according to Zinder. Dr. Wilmut also failed to mention that the sheep from which Dolly was cloned had died several years before the cloning, which is a huge red flag about the credibility of the success of this experiment. I firmly believe that this cloning experiment failed. I'm very interested in cloning and I think it's really cool that you can take the genes of a mammal and create an exact replica..
