Question
Chapter 21, Problem 1QSDC
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reasons that the determination of the amount of a specific gene product is helpful for a geneticist.
Introduction:
Gene products are the biochemical materials that are formed after the expression of the genes. They can either be a protein or a ribonucleic acid (RNA). Determining the amount of gene product is very beneficial for the geneticists.

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”.
