Question

Humans are adapting to the enviroment by creating aids/tools; we are actually on the verge of being able to select desired traits by using genetic engineering, in-vitro fertilization, and other molecular biology tools. For example, we can now detect and correct some genetic diseases and we also have the tools to select the sex of a baby and/or some of the baby's physical characteristics. No longer does an individual have to have a decent diet to survive, reproduce, or age because there are drugs that have been developed to correct these things. What effect will this have on human evolution? Use facts/examples and the concepts of genetic drift, gene pool, adaption, selection, genetic flow, etc to explain answer

Explanation / Answer

because of use of genetic engineering techniques against natural evolutionary forces...(natural selection ,genetic drift etc..,) WILL INCREASE THE FREQUENCY OF ABNORMAL GENES IN THE FUTURE GENERATIONS ...(THERE WILL INCREASE IN GENETIC LOAD)
