Based on the information from the game, type in the missing words to complete the text. Blue eyes and blond hair are a much more     1. cTu uzupełnij     combination than dark brown eyes and blond hair. If you could     2. aTu uzupełnij     anything about your appearance – what would it be? Would you make yourself fit the current standards of beauty or choose some original combination? Not every mutation is harmful. The so-called silent mutations are     3. hTu uzupełnij     – they don’t cause any harm. But even with the harmful ones, genetic engineering gives no guarantees. First of all, just because you get     4. rTu uzupełnij     of a gene that causes diseases, it doesn’t mean you won’t     5. dTu uzupełnij     that disease. Even without such genes, many diseases can also be caused by the environment. Just because we make genetic engineering of human beings illegal, it doesn’t mean that some scientists won’t     6. aTu uzupełnij     to do it in secret in private labs. The Y chromosome is     7. cTu uzupełnij     of about 55 genes, while X of about 900.
