Give at least three (3) importance of these tools in genetic engineering in the advancement of cell and molecular biology in the following fields:
a. Food
b. Medicine

Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that integrates knowledge of computer science
with mathematics and statistics to solve biological questions. Many bioinformatics tools
for gene prediction, homology modelling and such are available free online.

(ii)
Explain the function of BLAST.
I believe that there are many good things that can come out of people getting to design their baby’s genetic material. But there are also many bad things as well. From the article by Bio medical about the pros and cons of having a designer baby it states that a pro is that this type of engineering can “ might help prevent genetic diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s Disease, down syndrome, Spinal Muscular Atrophy, and many others”. I think that it is great that we could get rid of Alzheimer’s due to how destructive it can be to the people that suffer it. But I think the other diseases that it can eliminate is horrible due to them making our world a more unique place such as people with autism, Down syndrome. By doing this it could eliminate the whole population of people with disabilities community and make everyone “normal”. Another bad that I found in the article Ethics of designer babies which states that a major flaw for these babies is “designer baby technologies suggest…

- Archibald Garrod was an English physician who first proposed that genes encode enzymes. Like the work of Gregor Mendel , his discovery had little impact on his contemporaries and was not widely accepted until many years later. Why are important discoveries in science sometimes not accepted immediately?
