Answer to Question #199555 in Genetics for Sam

Question

distinction standard, learners will research the strengths and weaknesses, advantages  and disadvantages of the genetic technologies explored in the relevant unit content. All sources consulted will be accurately referenced. They must use the research to support their own views, speculating in an informed manner about future uses of generic engineering technologies. They must provide counterarguments of the reliability and validity of the use of the technologies. 

Answer 1

The strength of the genetic technologies explored is that doctors can use them in hospitals to treat diseases like diabetes. Also, they can be used for gene modification. On the other hand, the genetic technologies' weakness is that the ideas are not ethical as they interfere with nature.

 The advantage of the genetic technologies explored is that it is an efficient way for getting the same results as selective breeding. Through genetic technology, insect and pest resistance are formed and inserted in plants, increasing crop yields.

The disadvantage of the genetic technologies explored is that the crops produced cause allergic reactions because they are toxic; thus, they are harmful to people's health.
