Human Genetic Engineering In this essay I will be discussing the controversial topic of human genetic engineering and its pros and cons from a biological and social point of view while also trying to answer the question “Should human genetic engineering be legal. ” Genes control health and disease, as well as human traits and…
| description | Genetics is a branch of biology concerned with the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in organisms. Though heredity had been observed for millennia, Gregor Mendel, Moravian scientist and Augustinian friar working in the 19th century in Brno, was the first to study genetics scientifically. |

| quotations | Your genetics load the gun. Genetic engineering is a result of science advancement, so I don’t think that in itself is bad. Our own genomes carry the story of evolution, written in DNA, the language of molecular genetics, and the narrative is unmistakable. Human well-being is not a random phenomenon. |
| information | Genetic chromosomes: Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain a person’s genes. Genes are contained in chromosomes, which are in the cell nucleus. A chromosome contains hundreds to thousands of genes. Every normal human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes., Females have two copies of the X chromosome, while males have one X and one Y chromosome. The 22 autosomes are numbered by size. The other two chromosomes, X and Y, are the sex chromosomes. This picture of the human chromosomes lined up in pairs is called a karyotype. Ancestry: Genetic ancestry testing, or genetic genealogy, is a way for people interested in family history (genealogy) to go beyond what they can learn from relatives or from historical documentation. … Variations in the Y chromosome, passed exclusively from father to son, can be used to explore ancestry in the direct male line. Materials: Genetic material is called DNA and RNA. DNA is the hereditary material found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells (animal and plant) and the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells (bacteria) that determines the composition of the organism.
