QUESTION 51CRISPR is a revolutionary gene editing technology that could potentially be used for human germline editing. Human germline editing is the process by which thegenome of an individual is altered in such a way that the change is heritable (can be passed on to offspring). This is achieved through genetic alterations within thegerm cells. While many agree that somatic cell editing may be ethical for use in combating cancer and other chronic diseases, many countries now prohibit by lawthe use of germline editing.1. Discuss the difference between somatic cells and germ cells.2. Offer your opinion of why germline editing should be, and also why it should not be, permitted by law. (6 sentences minimum).Make sure to offer points on both sides regardless of your personal opinion.T TTT Paragraph v Arial3 (12pt)回i 会X D O QT TO f O Mashups曲E E E HO I HTML CSS

Humans are multicellular organisms with complex patterns of development. Almost all animals reproduce by sexual reproduction. Genes in the zygote determines the phenotype of the organisms that develops from it. CRISPR technology was derived from systems discovered in bacteria. This year nobel prize was awarded to scientists who discovered this technology. Note: The second question you asked is a subjective question. We cannot answer that for you.Somatic cells are present all over the body. Germ cells are found in the gonads only. Somatic cells undergo mitosis whereas germ line cells undergo meiosis to produce gametes. Changes in the germ line cells would be inherited to the next generation. But changes in somatic cell would affect only that organism, not its offsprings. By editing genes or sequences in germ line cells, phenotype of the offspring could be changed. For example, a specific genetic disease like haemophilia could be cured once and for all in a family. By changing genes in the somatic cells, a specific disease in the individual alone could be treated.
