    have paved the way to new scientific achievements, such as genetic engineering. This involves the manipulation and change of genetics in a living organism by changing its DNA (Morris 137). This new type of engineering has led to the modification of crops, finding cures for genetic diseases, and even the cloning of animals, which could eventually lead to humans. Although this seems like the answer to most of our problems, the topic of genetic modification has caused controversy in politics and…

    To whom it may concern: This letter is to inform you about the genetic status of Aminata and Nelson and to help you advise them on their decision of whether or not to have a child. The probability that Nelson and Aminata’s child will have sickle cell anemia is a 1 in 20 chance. By calculating the probability that Nelson is a heterozygous carrier of the HbS gene (.67), then the probability that Aminata is also a heterozygous carrier of the HbS gene (0.30), and finally the probability that two…

    Common choice is the differential survival and propagation of people because of contrasts in phenotype. It is a key instrument of development, the change in heritable qualities of a populace after some time.

This happens mostly on the grounds that arbitrary transformations emerge in the genome of an individual living being, and…
