1. DNA it is a complex molecule that carries genetics information, store and
preserves genetic information and transforms as the basis for evolution. It is
very important because it determines physical traits, height, eyes color, hair
color
and HELPS DETECTING DISEASES EARLIER FOR BETTER CURING THEM.
Health effects: DNA changes can cause unexpected health effects, sometimes
difficult to control. May have unwanted genetic changes and pose a risk to your
baby's health
The negativity of power and resources: If DNA modification is only available to
wealthy or resource-abundant families, it will create disparities and injustice in
society.
1. What is DNA? Why is it important for life?
important to all life because DNA is everywhere in the body
- regulates all life activities (growth, development)
- DNA carries genetic information for the development and function of an
organism
-Detection and Treatment
- identifies whether people belong to the same family so that legal rights can be
met.
2. Can CRISPR- gene engineering technology- be used on animals and plants?
yes
-CRISPR allows scientists to DNA sequences and modify gene function by editing
the genome of plants and animals.
3. Would you change your own DNA to become smarter, or to have different
hair or eye colour? Why or why not?
no
- new technology and very expensive ( not enough money )
- i't dangerous: i don't know what will happen ( good, or bad ) - with me all my
live ; i may also have new díeases.
4. Is it possible to change DNA these days? Illustrate with real-world data and
cases.
-DNA is still being researched and used on
living creature
-It's MOST COMMON IN PLANT, BUT
SHOULD NOT BE POPULAR IN HUMANS.
- Genetically modified crops like rice
make it tastier, store it longer, meet nutritional needs
- human; cure gêntic diseases, indentifi crimes, or decide biological relation
5. What groups of people support the use of CRISPR?
- cure diseases ; cut out genes of the diseases and repalce them with
6. Are there any groups in the society who oppose CRISPR?
- new technology - no money
- unfairness in society; only the rich people can use
- its dangerous; i don't know what will happen ( good, or bad ) - with me all my
live ; i may also have new díeases.
7. Some diseases can be transmitted through inherited genes. Give some
examples and suggest some ways we can minimize the consequences?
DISEASES: TURNER, DOWN, COLOR BLINDNESS, LUNG CANCER
SOLUTIONS:
- HEALTHY DIET: Improve mood, Improve gut health.
Losing weight.
Healthy body
- PREGNANCY TESTING: from there, there are interventions and treatments,
consequences caused by genetic disorders. contribute to improving the quality
of the population
- GENUINE ENGINEERING: cutting out the bad gene and connecting the good
gene to find its cause and find a cure
- FEMALE GENETIC SCREENING
Genetic testing is very useful in many fields
For example, genetic testing can provide a diagnosis of a genetic condition or
information about your risk of developing cancer.
8. Do you support animal testing? Why/Why not?
- make sure medici
