List down and explain at least 5 moral dilemmas raised by cracking the genetic code to know the diseases that may lie in the future of an individual.

Mutagens, when introduced to the body can always cause cancer. Is this statement true? Select the correct response: No. Mutagens do not necessarily, directly equate to the cause of cancer. A cancer is usually caused by a substance called carcinogen that increases the probability of inducing a tumor. Mutagens can be limited to the result of spontaneous or induced mutations that causes changes and/or errors in the coding and reading of the DNA strand and in the genetic make- up of the organism involved. Though some mutagens are considered as carcinogens, not all mutagens can lead to cancer. Yes. The terms can be used interchangeably even in the medical field. Yes. Mutagens does equate to the cause of cancer. A cancer is usually caused by a substance called carcinogen that increases the probability of inducing a tumor. However, mutagens is not only limited to the result of spontaneous or induced mutations that causes changes and/or errors in the coding and reading of the DNA strand and in…

DNA Phenotyping is the process of:   Question 12 options:   Inferring an individual's genotype based on their phenotype   Inferring an individual's genotype based on gel electrophoresis   Inferring an individual's phenotype based on their proteome   Inferring an individual's phenotype based on DNA markers

Hyper-IgE syndrome, also known as Job’s syndrome, is an immunodeficiency disease resulting from the lack of function of a single gene (gene ‘X’). Patients with this disease are highly susceptible to infections with extracellular bacteria and fungi, most frequently including Staphylococcus aureus infections and Candida albicans infections in the skin. Analysis of the various immune cell compartments indicates that these patients have normal numbers of each cell lineage (i.e., CD4 and CD8 T cells, B cells, monocytes, dendritic cells, NK cells, granulocytes, etc.), and normal levels of IgG, IgA, and IgM antibodies, but higher than normal levels of IgE.  Given this information, name a likely component of the immune response that could be impaired in these patients.
