threatening diseases‚ make sure that your child is not susceptible to smoking addictions or alcoholism‚ and then make your child genius? Would you? Are you asking yourself how this could be done? Have you ever considered human genetic engineering? What is Human Genetic Engineering? Lets start by looking at the cell and the source of heritable traits. We know that all organisms are made up by cells and that new cells can only spring from existing cells. Cell growth depends upon the production

COMMUNITY COLLEGE Genetics Practice Problems 1 In snapdragon plants‚ flower color is transmitted by incomplete dominance. If a red flowering plant mates with a pink flowering plant‚ what phenotypes are possible in their offspring? Show the phenotypic ratio also. 2 In humans‚ freckles are dominant to no freckles. If a male with no freckles mates with a female who is heterozygous for freckles‚ what is the probability of their child having freckles? 3 Cystic fibrosis is transmitted by

Gene testing should be available for disorders that cannot be cured or prevented Genetic tests are done by analysing small samples of blood or body tissue. Therefore they can determine whether people carry the genes for certain inherited diseases. Genetic testing is continuously developing and has now developed enough that doctors can often accurately pinpoint missing of defective genes. This is crucial in the prevention of inherited disorders and giving parents around the world a chance to raise

Knowing genetic information can be helpful to different individuals under different circumstances. However‚ there are still people in the society who will abuse their knowledge of the genetic information that they know. There are instances of life-insurance companies of abusing their customer’s genetic information by making the wrong judgement of the life coverage in the customer’s insurance. This incident occurs in the United States. In his insurance policy‚ he was not covered for cancer due to
