Answer:

It is very important because mitosis is basically replicating your DNA to make more cells that are exact replicas of each other. This is essential because if they are not exact replicas your body's immune system might not recognize it and so it will attack its own body's cell.

There are certain checkpoints throughout mitosis to ensure that everything is going ok, but if we suppose the errors pass the checkpoint and the cell divides from one to two daughter cells. If there is a genetic defect, where one daughter cell has more and one daughter cell has less chromosomes, both will be affected by it. This is called Nondisjunction which is the result of failure of chromosomes to separate during mitosis. This leads to new cells with either extra or missing chromosomes; a condition called aneuploidy.

SO what happens, they might be killed by body's own immune system. There might be apoptosis, which is a form of programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms

Explain how individual and public health are affected by environmental and genetic factors.
irga5000 [103]
Individual and public health are affected by environmental and genetic factors is a statement which reflects reality. Firstly, susceptibility to certain diseases usually or often runs in a family so that if there is say, diabetes in the father and grandmother for example, the son or daughter has more chances of getting it so this is a genetic susceptibility.. Also, some families are more prone to cancer so that given the right circumstances, cancer can develop. So it is usually a combination of both genetic and environmental causes that results in a disease. An example of public health could be when smallpox was deliberately introduced to the First Nations people in British Columbia, Canada back in the 1800's to decimate them and remove their resistance to the gold mining hordes. Since the First Nations had no anti-bodies to counteract such a disease unlike the white men who introduced it to them, then they easily fell prey to it and died within days of contracting it.

What are some proposed disadvantages to utilizing DNA technology?
vfiekz [6]
Most of the downsides of recombinant DNA technology are ethical in nature. Some people feel that recombinant DNA technology goes against the laws of nature, or against their religious beliefs, due to how much control this technology gives humans over the most basic buildings blocks of life.

Other ethical concerns also exist. Some people worry that if companies can pay scientists to patent, buy and sell genetic material, then genetic material could become an expensive commodity. Such a system might lead to people having their genetic information stolen and used without permission. It may sound odd, but such cases have already happened. In 1951, a scientist used unique cells stolen from a woman named Henrietta Lacks to create an important cell line (the HeLa cell line) which is still used in medical research today. Her family did not know about her involuntary donation until after her death, and never received compensation, but others have profited from the use of HeLa cells.

Many people worry about the safety of modifying food and medicines using recombinant DNA technology. Although genetically modified foods seem safe in multiple studies, it is easy to see why such fears exist.
Hope this helps
