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 :)

Que tipo de aislamiento reproductivo exhibe la mula?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

<em>Aislamiento postreproductivo: Esterilidad del híbrido</em>

Explanation:

El concepto biológico de <u>especie</u>, en su definición, destaca que los ejemplares de una especie no pueden entrecruzarse con ejemplares de otra especie distinta, o bien, en caso de hacerlo, no hay éxito reproductivo.

Existen distintos mecanismos de aislamiento reproductivo, que son barreras que inhiben o interrumpen el flujo génico entre especies distintas. Se trata de caracteres biológicos propios de cada especie que previenen la reproducción con otras especies.

Estos mecanismos de aislamiento reproductivo pueden ser precigóticos o postcigóticos.  

  1. Pre-copulatorios o pre-cigóticos:
  • Ecológico o por aislamiento de hábitat;
  • Estacional o temporal;
  • Sexual o etológico;
  • Mecánico;
  • Por incompatibilidad de gametas.  

   2. Post-copulatorios o cigóticos:

  • Inviabilidad del híbrido;
  • Esterilidad del híbrido;
  • Híbrido con viabilidad o fertilidad disminuido;
  • Interacciones citoplasmáticas.

La mula es producto de la cruza entre dos especies distintas: una yegua (<em>Equus ferus caballus</em>) y un burro (<em>Equus africanus asinus</em>). Es un ejemplo de la accion de mecanismo poscigótico, en el cual se forma un híbrido viable esteril. Este ejemplar puede nacer crecer y sobrevivir, pero que no pueden producir gametas funcionales, por lo cual no pueden reproducirse.
