Somatic genome editing modifies the DNA of an individual's non-reproductive cells to treat diseases, with changes not passed to offspring, and has been used in clinical applications. Germline genome editing involves altering the DNA of embryos, sperm, or eggs, which would create heritable changes in future generations. While somatic editing is more established, germline editing is still largely in the research phase due to significant safety and ethical concerns. (click all that apply)(3 points)
