Given that there's a science to back you up and you actually have the capability of producing an offspring with your desired traits, would you do it? What should the limitations be if you have to put a limit on this? 2. On the other hand, give some reasons why you will not choose to do it even if there's a science to back you up and you actually have the capability of producing an offspring with your desired traits.

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
