Some people are now talking about gene therapy, which involves inserting new genes into living people. But this would merely serve to alienate children from their parents, because the genes they inherit would be replaced with foreign ones. And it is doubtful whether this strategy would work after a certain age in any case, as humans develop in irreversible stages...

A Study Of Inheritable Traits In Fruit Flies INTRODUCTION The Drosophila melanogaster, more commonly known as the fruit fly, is a popular species used in genetic experiments. In fact, Thomas Hunt Morgan began using Drosophila in the early 1900's to study genes and their relation to certain chromosomes(Biology 263)...	6 / 1539
