Does Genetic Engineering harm or benefit human society?
Answer Posted / reena
both, it is beneficial in production of transgenic plants
and animals which are resistant to fungus,virus and
bactreia. in humans it is used for production of artificial
insulin etc and for the production of other
vaccines,antibiotics.
harmful like some transgenic crops may cause allergic
reaction in humans.

Flower position, stem length, and seed shape were three traits that were studied by Mendel. Each is controlled by an independently assorting gene. If a plant that is heterozygous for all three traits was allowed to self- fertilize, what proportion of the offspring would be expected to show all three dominant phenotypes?
how to Create population with sufficient genetic diversity ?
Consider two linked autosomal genes. The dominant allele C of the first gene causes cataracts of the eye, whereas its recessive allele produces normal eyes. The dominant allele P causes polydactyly (an extra finger) whereas its allele (p) produces a normal number of fingers. A man with cataracts and normal fingers marries a woman with polydactyly and normal eyes. Their son has both polydactyly and cataracts and he marries a woman with neither trait. What is the probability that their first child will have cataracts and polydactyly?
