Answer / Bibin Abraham
Potential risks of Genetic Engineering include the creation of allergens in foods, genetic drift (uncontrolled spread of genetically engineered traits), and the emergence of superweeds or superbugs resistant to pesticides and antibiotics. There are also concerns about the long-term health effects on consumers who consume genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

The village of Oblong has 400 normally-shaped residents. Transferrin is an iron carrier found in blood, and electrophoretic variation of this protein is determined by an autosomal codominant system. The citizens of Oblong were typed for their transferrin complements. The distribution of transferrin phenotypes was: 100 CC, 100 CD, and 200 DD. What is the frequency of the C allele?
