Down syndrome is a genetic disorder‚ there are 3 different types of chromosomal changes which can lead to Down syndrome: complete trisomy 21‚ whereby the nondisjunction occurs during the formation of the egg or sperm cells meaning all body cells will have 47 chromosomes. This is the most

Genetic Engineering INTRODUCTION Genetic Engineering Involves methods‚ techniques‚ and procedures used in gene manipulation. Furthermore‚ it Involves isolation‚ manipulation and reintroduction of DNA into cells or model organisms‚ usually to express a protein to reach desired effects.

Critics argue that eugenics is immoral and is based on or is a pseudoscience. In the past‚ eugenics has been used as a justification for coercive state-sponsored
