Hi I'm debating a creationist and he makes the claim that no DNA can be added to a genome. Says there are no experiments. Can someone help me with concepts or sources to experiments? Thanks
Yes, it is possible to add new information to DNA through the process of genetic engineering. This involves inserting new sequences of DNA into an organism's genome, which can then be passed down to future generations.
No, it is not currently possible to add new information to existing DNA without the use of genetic engineering techniques. However, scientists are constantly researching and developing new methods for manipulating and modifying DNA.
Yes, with the use of advanced genetic engineering tools such as CRISPR-Cas9, it is possible to add new information to a specific location in an organism's DNA. This allows for precise modifications and targeted gene editing.
Adding new information to DNA can have a range of potential benefits, including the ability to correct genetic disorders, create new and improved traits in organisms, and potentially even prevent certain diseases.
As with any scientific advancement, there are ethical considerations to take into account when adding information to DNA. These may include concerns about the potential consequences of altering an organism's genetic makeup and the ethical implications of creating new life forms.
