Answer:

One of the major pros of crispr-cas9 is that it could potentially wipe-out many genetic diseases and could even be used to develop a successful cancer therapy.

The main con would be the ethics. In the future an individual could select their own desired traits for their offspring. The wealthy would have a larger advantage which could increase the social gap.

Answer:

It has incomparable advantages over other gene editing tools.

Explanation:

For example, the CRISPR-Cas9 system has more target sites than ZFNs and TALENs, and Cas9 has many variants that can be used in a variety of studies. Moreover, the system is extremely easy to use and can be executed in almost any laboratory.

The most important advantages of CRISPR/Cas9 over other genome editing technologies is its simplicity and efficiency. Since it can be applied directly in embryo, CRISPR/Cas9 reduces the time required to modify target genes compared to gene targeting technologies based on the use of embryonic stem (ES) cells.

Disadvantages of CRISPR technology: CRISPR-Cas9 off-target; The effect of off-target can alter the function of a gene and may result in genomic instability, hindering it prospective and application in clinical procedure.

this the best i got, hope it helps :)

How is the process of natural selection involved in evolution?

Ann [662]

Natural selection means that the organisms better adapted to their environment, that is, they have developed the right characteristics/skills/response to the external ambient, have higher chance to survive, making the next generations genetically inherit such acquired surviving characteristics.
These generations will thus have a higher chance of survival, making these species being "naturally selected" as survivors, while those who haven't or are slower in this process, have a higher risk of elimination.

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

The phylogenetic graph uses several types of variables to be formed, while other models use only one type of variable.

Explanation:

To create a phylogenetic chart, matrices with data on the studied species are used. These data are composed of morphological, chemical and / or genetic information that allow a detailed investigation about the ancestry of each species, in addition to allowing the correct grouping based on this ancestry and evolution.

A phylogenetic graph is different from other molecular models due to the number of data considered by it, since other models, such as the molecular clock, for example, only consider genetic based information.
