- 1.There are three parts that make up DNA: a phosphate group, a sugar group, and a nitrogen base. There are four nitrogen bases. Guanine (G), cytosine (C), adenine (A) or thymine (T). The way these bases are arranged that make up the differences in DNA. One DNA strand can be ATTGCCAT. The order of these four bases makes up an organism's DNA unique. DNA strands form a double helix and each nitrogen base pairs up with another specific base. Adenine always pair up with thymine and cytosine always pairs with guanine. So, if one side of a double helix has a strand that look like this: ATTGCCAT, then the other side will be TAACGGTA
- Gene modification can be a good thing. If someone has a family history or disease, like diabetes, and the genes responsible for the disease can be found, then we could change these bad genes in fertilized eggs and this would produce a person that would have a much lower risk, or no risk at all, of developing diabetes. Designer babies could also be a bad thing. Some people could use gene modification in order to get their kids to look a certain way. Maybe a couple wants a kid blue eyes, and not brown. The color of a person's eye will not make their life any better, it's just using gene modification for cosmetic reasons. Another negative is that the baby would have an unfair advantage of their appearance. Also another good thing is you can use someone else's sperm to make a healthier baby.
