Reproductive Cloning
Reproductive cloning is a technology used to generate an animal that has the same nuclear DNA as another currently or previously existing animal. Dolly was created by reproductive cloning technology. In a process called "somatic cell nuclear transfer" (SCNT), scientists transfer genetic material from the nucleus of a donor adult cell to an egg whose nucleus, and thus its genetic material, has been removed. The reconstructed egg containing the DNA from a donor cell must

Resistance Basic Guide
A basic guide to resistance. Electron Flow Model Everything is made of very small particles called atoms. Each atom has a heavy positively charged nucleus and is surrounded by a cloud of light, negatively charged, electrons. In metals, the outer most electron of each atom is weakly attracted to the positive nucleus and can escape from the atom and wander around between the atoms. [Note 1] So, in metals, we have all these millions and

Resistance of a Piece of Wire
Planning In this piece of coursework, I am going to investigate what affects the resistance of a piece of wire. Wire is made up of atoms. Electric current is a flow of electrons, and it is these electrons that collide with the nucleus of the atoms. Every time this happens, it causes resistance. The build up of friction is what produces the heat. There are many variables that could affect the resistance of the piece

Resistance of a Wire
Theory What is resistance? Electricity is conducted through a conductor, in this case wire, by means of free electrons. The number of free electrons depends on the material and more free electrons means a better conductor, i.e. it has less resistance. For example, gold has more free electrons than iron and, as a result, it is a better conductor. The free electrons are given energy and as a result move and collide with neighbouring free

Resistance of a Wire
Task To investigate how the resistance of a wire is affected by the length of the wire. Theory What is resistance? Resistance is a force which opposes the flow of an electric current around a circuit so that energy is required to push the charged particles around the circuit.
