Consider ethical issues associated with creating a synthetic human genome. Are there specific applications for a synthetic human genome that you support? Is creating a synthetic genome enhanced with genes for certain kinds of traits one of those applications?

Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together which of the following technologies can allow humans to directly edit and modify genes. Let's take a look at the following technologies to figure out which one we use to directly edit and modify genes. While we know that the technology that allows us to directly edit and modify genes refers to answer choice B CRISPR technology because CRISPR which stands for clustered regularly, inter space short palindrome IQ repeat is a technology that can be used to edit genes. Whereas answer choices A D and D, all our technologies that are not used to edit genes. And so they are the incorrect answer because we know that recombinant DNA technology is a technology that we use to combine D N A from different horses. Next generation sequencing is a technology that we use to determine to determine A D N A or RNA sequence. And lastly assisted reproductive technology is a medical procedure is a medical procedure that is used to address infertility. And so the only technology here that allows humans to directly edit and modify genes, it's answer choice B CRISPR technology. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
