Since we now have the technology to use genetic fingerprinting to catch criminals, should we make every US resident provide a bl

ood sample for genetic fingerprinting so that all US residents are on government file making it easier to catch criminals? Write one paragraph explaining why this should happen and one paragraph explaining why this should not happen.

Answer:

It can be easily exploited by criminals, and it puts our undercover police officers and FBI officers in danger. Also, police officers are already swamped with work and criminal activity as is. It would also be ridiculously hard to get everybody already registered as a resident it the U.S. Take into account the different family types, and how hard it is for single mothers with children.

On the other hand, adding this, despite the obvious hardships, will make catching criminals much easier. Our blood DNA is unique to every human being. It would be extremely helpful to have a system like this in place. This would, at first, be hard to establish, but once it settles in, police officers would be able to spend much more time at home with their families instead of filling out paperwork for overtime.

Explanation:

8. Natural selection works on variation that exists in the genes of organisms. Antelopes who have genetic variation that makes their legs more muscular are at an advantage because they can outrun predators. This increases the chance that they will reach reproductive age, and be able to pass this advantageous trait onto their offspring. Over time, this selection pressure makes the variant more common in a population.

9. Beneficial traits are those that give a selective advantage. This could be one that helps it outrun predators (like above), avoid illness and death, gives it a reproductive advantage (i.e. more attractive to mates), or makes it better able to digest certain foods, for example. The formation of cancer cells would be harmful for an organism, reducing its fitness and perhaps leading to death. The inability to reproduce would mean genetic info is not passed on to the next generation, and stopping the production of an essential protein would likely lead to death. However, resistance to a virus would help an organism avoid illness and death, improving fitness.

10. Genotypes are what organisms inherit from their parents, i.e. the genetic information that is passed on. However, the way in which different alleles interact and are expressed is the phenotype. If we take the above example, natural selection is acting on the phenotype of muscular legs. If an antelope had the muscular leg genotype but for some reason it was not being expressed (maybe another gene is interfering with it), then the antelope would not have a selective advantage, and natural selection could not be act on the trait.

11. A trait that better suits an organism to its environment will be selected for by natural selection. This is because that organism is more likely to survive due to the trait, giving it a selective advantage. Therefore, if a mutation arose making the giraffe more adapted to the environment, it would be positively selected for, and through evolution would become more common.

12. This is an example of selective breeding, which has been happening for generations. Farmers spot desirable traits, and cross horses with these traits in an attempt to enhance the trait or to ensure it is passed on to the next generation. This is not natural selection, because farmers are making it happen artificially. It is not cloning or recombinant DNA, which are terms scientists use for actually manipulating the DNA in the lab.
