Approximately 5 to 8 percent of pregnancies are affected by preeclampsia meaning that more than 6.6 million women worldwide suffered from the disease in 2002. Preeclampsia does not just harm the mother‚ but the child to. Cystic fibrosis harms the baby after it is born. Cystic fibrosis is where mucus builds up in your lungs or pancreas and clog passageways which make the child not able to breathe properly. This no way for a child to live because they are always close to suffocating. Abortion can protect

Introduction Genetics is the science that explains the variation and transmission of inherited characteristics from parents to offspring. The basic laws of heredity became popular to science in 1865‚ with the publication of the works of Gregor Mendel‚ the father of genetics. He observed that by breeding pairs of different varieties of peas‚ the offspring resembled one of the parents. This inspired him to continue his work that resulted to more experiments on plants.

called PRDM12 (Doc. 2). If you change the gene in that situation I personally believe that it would be ok. That is because it would help someone go through life easier. Another reason is healing someone of a genetic disease like cystic fibrosis (Doc. 3). Cystic fibrosis is a disease that is passed down from generation to generation and so on (Doc. 3). By correcting certain genes‚ the disease can be stopped in that person and it can stop it from going any further (Doc. 3). Similarly to preventing

this experiment was to determine the F1 genotype of fruit fly traits using the phenotypic ratio of the F2 generation and to express these results of the unknown cross through a Chi-square model and Mendelian genetics. After the experiment‚ it was found that the parents held a heterozygous genotype through using the Chi-square model‚ and that the observed and expected values fall within the Chi-squared value which also falls into the p-value. The Chi-squared value was 5.64‚ the degrees of freedom was
