QuestionAnswer
Recently, scientists have genetically engineered fruit crops to contain vaccines. How might these fruit crops most likely benefit society? They could make it cheaper and easier to administer vaccines.
Scientists have genetically-engineered some strains of bacteria to consume toxins, such as oil, and to excrete the toxins as harmless substances. How might these bacteria most likely impact society? They will enable people to easily clean up spilled pollutants in the environment.
In 2003, the Human Genome Project finished mapping the genes of all the chromosomes found in humans. Which of the following fields of science will most likely benefit the most from the information gathered by the project molecular medicine
In the early to mid-1980's, police began using DNA evidence to convict criminals of violent crimes. Currently, techniques such as DNA fingerprinting are frequently used in criminal investigations, and some countries, such as England, even keep DNA databas biotechnology
Malaria is a disease caused by parasites that reproduce within red blood cells. Malaria can cause fever, chills, nausea, flu-like symptoms, and in some cases, coma and death. This disease is prevalent in warm climates, especially South America, Africa, an Biotechnology could be used to insert the malaria resistant genes without causing sickle cell anemia
Some types of crops have been genetically-engineered to resist certain types of diseases and pests. How might these genetically-engineered crops impact the environment They will help the environment by allowing farmers to use fewer pesticides.
Researchers have genetically engineered bacteria to produce bovine growth hormone. This hormone can be given to cows in order to increase their milk production. How will increasing a cow's milk production most likely impact society Milk can be supplied to more people using fewer animals.
In the 1970s, many biotechnologists worked to develop a biodiesel that was an alternative to petroleum diesel. The results of their research was a biodiesel fuel that can be burned by most regular diesel engines and releases up to 50% less carbon emission Air quality across the country will improve.
Today, genetically-engineered crops are becoming more common. Which of the following is a likely possible negative impact of the use of genetically-engineered crops? Genetically-engineered genes can be transferred to wild plants in the area.
Which of the following techniques separates molecules based on size? gel electrophoresis.
A vaccine is a substance that contains all or part of a noninfectious version of a disease-causing organism. When the vaccine is administered to a person, the person's immune system attacks the noninfectious version of the organism and learns to recogn Harmless organisms could be genetically engineered to have surface proteins from disease-causing organisms.
A new species has been discovered. Scientists have obtained a DNA profile of the organism and are comparing it to the profiles of other known species. wren.
In the 1920's, a woman by the name of Anna Anderson claimed to be the Grand Duchess Anastasia, the youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II. However, DNA testing confirmed that she was not who she claimed to be. Which of the following uses of biotechnology d Biotechnology allows for determining the degree of relatedness among individuals.
There have been many debates over genetic and biotechnology research over the years. One significant source of controversy has been the acquisition and use of human stem cells for scientific and medical studies all of these
DNA can be recovered from skin cells, hair follicles, and body fluids. The recovered DNA can be used to make DNA fingerprints. How do DNA fingerprints help police? DNA can be used to identify whether a person was present at a crime scene.
Advances in biotechnology, especially regarding genetic testing and gene therapy, now allow for the screening and possible treatment of many genetic disorders. During gene therapy, for example, specific gene sequences Scientists use viruses to insert specific gene sequences.
The first commercial application of genetic engineering was the use of bacteria to make insulin, a medicine needed by diabetics. Before the use of genetically-engineered bacteria, insulin had to be harvested from the pancreases of slaughtered animals. It has made insulin cheaper and more readily available.
The DNA profiles of five people potentially involved in a robbery are shown below. The profile on the left was obtained from DNA belonging to the robber. The four other profiles were obtained from the suspects. 3
The diagram below shows DNA profiles for four species. whether the species are related.
In 1996, a group of scientists from Scotland used a somatic (non-sex) cell of an adult sheep to produce an identical copy of that sheep. The process through which a genetically identical cell or organism i cloning
Genetic engineering is the process of manipulating genes for practical purposes. Today, scientists have genetically engineered many types of organisms including crop plants. Which of the following is a current benefit gained from genetically engineered cr Some food staples, such as rice, contain more nutrients.
