Hey Kfamr,

Sounds like you have a good biology teacher!

I am way into genetic theory, the idea that the pattern for every living thing is present in the nucleus of every cell in its body.

Have you studied Mendel, the monk who pollinated short bean plants and tall bean plants, and kept track of their "children"?

Or Luther Burbank, who created most of our modern fruit varieties (and lily varieties and the russet potato) by crossing plants and growing seeds?

All of the different breeds of dogs and cats came from cross-breeding and selection. This was the predecessor of genetic engineering. GE actually changes and combines the DNA in "first cells" that become embryos of plants and animals, as does fertilization.

Anything in particular you are wondering about? This is a much larger subject than the ethics of stem cell research, or of medical things. It's about a human role in speeded-up evolution!
