What are some proposed disadvantages to utilizing DNA technology?

Biology

vfiekz [6]3 years ago

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.

What genetic variation has occurred in the picture below where a black bunny and a white bunny have an offspring that shows both
Softa [21]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is B which is codominance.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • One allele of a gene for a trait can be dominant or recessive according to the simple genetic phenomenon.
  • But there are some exceptions Like both allele can express them dominantly producing an offspring having both forms of that trait.
  • While in incomplete dominance, dominant allele is unable to expresses itself completely and a phenotype between dominant and recessive trait is produced.
  • Hence in the problem, offspring have both colors of fur from two parents, so it is codominance.
