What are each of the different subunits composed of?
One genome is comprised of 35% adenine. Another genome is comprised of 25% adenine. A third genome is comprised of 10% adenine. Determine the percentages of the remaining three DNA bases for each genome. Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty demonstrate that DNA was responsible for the hereditary material and not protein or RNA. Using the following […]
Do you think that it is ethical to permit somatic genome editing in the case of disease? Explain why you believe this.
In at least 250 words (total): (1) State whether you are a deontologist or a utilitarian. (2) Now, you’ve been called upon to make a decision about whether or not genome editing in the case of disease is ethical.

How could our understanding of the genome help to guide personalised medical treatments in the future?
How could our understanding of the genome help to guide personalised medical treatments in the future? Using that genetic information have they been any publish treatment and new treatment for new treatment , ex. Brest cancer BRACA1 different mutation Link mutation with treatment . How it can be translated if there isn’t any treatment.
