Transmit genetic information

Explanation:

The nucleic acid are the macro molecules that helps in transfer of information from one generation to another generation.

The information is transferred in the form of genetic code. The characters such as hair type, eye color, blood type are inherited from the parents to the children.

The process of transmitting the information from one generation to another is known as inheritance.

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."
