most acceptable reason given for genetic engineering is its potential use in preventative medicine. A few cells from an embryo could be genetically analyzed to detect harmful mutation or predisposition towards disorder‚ at which point action could be taken either through somatic cell or germ-line gene modification. In 1993‚ the gene that causes Huntington’s Disease was located‚ and scientists are currently trying to determine its normal function (The Benefits of Genetic Engineering). Assuming researchers

If A and a are alleles for a particular gene and each individual has two alleles then p is the frequency of the A allele and q is the frequency of a alleles. The frequency of the possible diploid combinations is expressed in the equation
