Textbook Question
Chapter 42.3, Problem 1CT
In 2017, scientists used CRISPR Cas9 DNA editing to repair a defective gene in a human embryo. Should this be allowed? Is preventing disease and disability in the children sufficient justification for changing the genetic makeup of a human being? What about “designer” children whose DNA may be changed solely to produce an athlete or supermodel body type?

What is the phenotype, and why is the phenotype so similar? Is the phenotype going to be that there is a disruption of the formation of the neural tube for both of these because bottle cell formation is necessary for the neural plate to fold in forming the neural tube and Shroom3 is further needed to close the neural plate? So since both Plekhg5 and Shroom3 are used in forming the neural tube, injecting the mRNA will just lead to neural tube deformity?arrow_forward

First color all the polar and non-polar covalent bonds in the R groups of your 2 amino acids using the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. B. Next, color where all the hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions and ionic bonds could occur in the R group of each amino acid. Use the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. C. Position the two amino acids on the page below in an orientation where the two R groups could bond together.
