Intro:
This article will be explaining different arguments through science and logical reasoning to the cons of genetically modifying humans.
Mitosis:
Mitosis in the final gap in cell division cycle. During mitosis the chromosomes in the cell nucleus are separated into two identical chromosomes in two different cells. There are four phases to mitosis, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. During prophase the centrosomes start to mover to opposite sides of the cell and the cellular membrane has started to fade away so the chromosomes can be ready to move. While this process is happing the DNA has been copied as well. During metaphase the centrosomes have migrated to opposite sides of the cell and begin to extend tiny spindle fibers …show more content…
Around 40,000 years ago the Neanderthals suddenly went extinct while Homo sapiens continued to thrive. Around 45,000 years ago the earth went through a big climate change driving the Homo sapiens to migrate from Africa to Europe. Scientists have found that the physical features of the Neanderthals were different to the Homo sapiens causing the Neanderthals to suffer during the climate change and eventually causing them to go extinct. This brings up a problem with genetic modification, our earth at this point is going through a climate change and if we modify the genetic in human’s maybe we see the same results that happened 40,000 years ago with the Neanderthals. During the process of meiosis and mitosis our genetically modified human becomes too different than our modern day human Our earth is projected to increase by 2.7 degrees F in the next 100 years and maybe even increase to about 8.7 degrees F. Even in some areas of the Middle East, temperatures could become so high it would be …show more content…
In the 10th Generation 18% of the foxes showed kind behavior by 1 month old and in the 20th generation the number has doubled to 35% by 1 month old. Today, 40 years after, 1 month old foxes are showing kind behavior 70-80% of the time. Not only were the foxes behaviors changing, genetics were changing as well. At around the 8 to 10th generation mark, they started to realize the foxes color coats were changing to match some color coats of dogs. Dmitry’s prediction was indeed correct but he had also discovered physical changes to become similar to dogs. Dmitry asked why? Well, in the founding population of the foxes, maybe they carried a recessive mutant gene from the trait along with a dominant normal gene that masked its effects. Such mixed-gene, or heterozygous, foxes would have been hidden carriers, unaffected by the mutation themselves but capable of passing it on to later generations. This brings up a problem in genetic modification when we genetically modify someone they can have the same problem in the foxes where the new genes mutate in to something unknown and unpredictable and they can also pass on the a mutate gene without anyone
