What other changes could be made to the human genome by manipulating human cells?
cure diseases,
Which human activity is correctly paired with it's likely future consequence?
which human activity is correctly paired with its likely future consequence
Why do we use human embryos to treat some diseases?
They do not treat all diseases. For the diseases they can treat the embryonic cells can provide replacements for the failing (or entirely missing) cells that due to their absence cause the disease.
What type of cell fights infectious diseases in a human?
white blood cells
Could embryonic stem cells help people with some diseases?
they can cure human diseases but the question is should we use them.
Does the human body have more bacterial or human cells?
it has more human cells actually the human body has more bacterial cells. Although it may seem more likely that the human body would have more human cells than bacterial cells. -Vasillisa
How do photosynthesis help human?
In the near future, we may create chloroplasts in human cells, which can help to photosynthesize.
How long do diseases of cells in a human body live for?
It varies ... from a few minutes to the rest of your life.
Aproximetly how many cells are there in the human body?
More than Billions of cells are present in the average human's body . In case of diseases like cancer of blood or situations like increase in number of WBC ( white blood cells ) ,etc .
Why is genetically modifying human embryonic stem cells against the law?
Genetic modification of human embryonic stem cells is against the law because it can give way to unwanted mutations and diseases.
Which genetically modifying human cells may directly affect future generations?
Somatic cells are body cells. Genetically modifying them might have an influence of the subject on which the procedure was carried out but will not have any direct influence on future generations. Genetic alternation of germ cells however, will have an effect on future generations.
Are human cells incapable of reproduction outside the body?
No, human cells can reproduce almost indefinitely in cell culture. Biologists have been doing this for decades with HeLa cells. Another answer: A company grows human skin for replacing skin burned away on burn victims. Stem cells are replicated for research purposes. They have been used in attempts to treat diseases. In the future, many will probably be used in bone marrow transplants. (Your liver is always renewing itself. I do not know why I have not heard about scientists reproducing liver cells outside of the body.)
