The essay “Building Baby from the Genes Up” by Ronald M. Green explains how in the future‚ parents might be able to design the genes of their future baby. Green supports genetic engineering of embryos‚ “why not improve our genome?” (549). He thinks that with the process of in vitro and preimplantation‚ it could eliminate disease or confer desirable features onto our future. Some medical professionals is concerned about the effect of genetic selection in parenting‚ Green said “The critics concerns

2 Single Gene Inheritance WORKING WITH THE FIGURES (The first 14 questions require inspection of text figures.) 1. In the left-hand part of Figure 2-4‚ the red arrows show selfing as pollination within single flowers of one F1 plant. Would the same F2 results be produced by cross-pollinating two different F1 plants? Answer: No‚ the results would be different. While self pollination produces 3 : 1 ratio of yellow versus gene phenotype‚ cross pollination would result in 1 : 1 ratio‚ in
