nvestigate references dealing with the technical and ethical challenges surrounding mitochondrial replacement therapy (MRT). Consider the following questions: Differentiate between MRT methods: pronuclear transfer (PNT) versus maternal spindle transfer (MST). Much of the controversy surrounding MRT methods has been triggered by the phrase “three-parent babies” in media headlines. Do you think that this phrase is an accurate description of children born following mitochondrial replacement? Summarize the ethical arguments used to support and oppose the use of MRT in humans. In your opinion, which arguments have validity, and why
Relate histopath criteria of cancer (unifrom population of pleimorphic cells, variable cytoplasmic nuclear ratio, multiple/bizarre nucleoli and frequent/bizarre mitotic figures) to H nana cell cycle & chromosomal instability. To answer the question, analyze the image attached and discuss how many of the mutations in cancer affect the normal regulation of the cell cycle, particularly the G2 checkpoint where mutations are supposed to be caught and not passed on.
