There is speculation that the ability to slow aging may occur using the CRISPR/Cas9. But use of this in humans may have ethical issues.

What is fitness function in GA algorithm?

In order to understand the fitness function, you first have to understand that a genetic algorithm is one which changes over time (it evolves). In nature we have things like predators and harsh environments which eliminate unwanted specimens of animals (a slow zebra will get eaten by a lion). We need to simulate this behavior when programming genetic algorithms. The fitness function basically determines which possible solutions get passed on to multiply and mutate into the next generation of solutions. This is usually done by analyzing the "genes," which hold some data about a particular solution to the problem you are trying to solve. The fitness function will look at the genes and make some qualitative assessment, returning a fitness value for that solution. The rest of the genetic algorithm will discard any solutions with a "poor" fitness value and accept any with a "good" fitness value. In short: the goal of a fitness function is to provide a meaningful, measurable, and comparable value given a set of genes.


Is transfer of genes from plants to animals is possible?

Yes, but to a very limited extent. We cannot, as yet, produce a tree with skin or a human who can photosynthesize.

Can science create the perfect human being?

Yes, science can create human being in lab, but no one is assured about this human life whether he/she be a perfect or not. The answer to question is depend on two things. As for normal human being the presence of genes and expression of genes. Presence of gene is regulated by nature and expression is regulated by nurture. In the same way, human being can create in lab. Science has all the tools and expertise for it. Science has created "Dolly" so it can create human also. People always have to train to be the best at something. No one is born excellent. Some are born closer to and have an easier time acquiring skill, but unless a person is physically limited

Genetic engineering is possible because all organisms are based on the same?

Genetic engineering is possible because all organisms share a similar genetic code with DNA as the universal genetic material. This allows scientists to transfer genes between different species or manipulate existing genes to create desired traits. This shared genetic code provides a foundation for genetic engineering to function effectively across various organisms.

What function do genes serve for living organisms?

Genes provide the instructions for making proteins, which are essential for the structure, function, and regulation of the body's cells. Genes also play a role in determining traits and characteristics, such as eye color, blood type, and susceptibility to certain diseases. Overall, genes are crucial for the growth, development, and survival of living organisms.

Is it possible to create genes what can permanently destroy free radicals?

While it is theoretically possible to create genes that produce enzymes capable of destroying free radicals, it is challenging to ensure that this process is permanent due to the complex nature of free radicals and their constant production in the body. Additionally, altering genes to target free radicals may have unintended consequences on other biological processes. More research is needed to determine the feasibility and safety of such an approach.
