- Do you believe that genetic engineering is more helpful or harmful? How?arrow_forwardArchibald 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? Why does it often take years before they are generally accepted by other scientists?arrow_forwardConsider the fact that DNA determines the trait, what question is the scientific investigation, seeking to answer?arrow_forward
