Genetically modifying ________ cells may directly affect future generations.
A)bone marrow

D)photoreceptor

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gamete-forming cells (such as sperm and egg cells) carry genetic information that can be passed on to future generations. Modifying these cells may result in genetically modified offspring, and potentially even affect future generations beyond that. Modifying bone marrow, somatic, or photoreceptor cells would not have the same potential effect on future generations.
