- Place the steps in the correct order from start to finish. Do not overlap steps. Start Transformed plant cells are selected for on a culture medium containing herbicide Bacteria are transformed with two plasmids Transgenes are incorporated into the plant cell genome T-DNA is transferred from the bacterial cell to the plant cell Transformed bacteria conjugate with plant cells Reset Transformed plant cells grow into transgenic plants Help FinishDo you agree or disagree why? Prior to this video I had not been introduced to the concept of genetically modified babies or "designer babies". However, a concept that was brought up in comparison to the designer babies was IVF babies. This concept is more familiar to me and made me think of the great possibilities designer babies could bring, but at what cost? As IVF first became popular it seemed to be well known that was was a possibility for well-off financially families. Although designer babies may have benefits such as lowering the risk to develop hereditary diseases, I don't think this concept would be widely accessible to varying income levels.Regarding STR markers used in forensic science. Tick all the correct statements: no correct statement the PCR primers used to amplify STRs are located in the repeat units PCR primers to amplify STRs are located on both sides of the repeat units the PCR primers used to amplify STRs are coupled to a fluorochrome which is essential for the detection of amplicons they are absent from the gonosomes the allelic frequencies of STR markers vary according to the ethnicity of the individuals genotyped they are present homogeneously throughout the nuclear genome
- How would you go about cloning this amplified DNA into pL4440?Using your knowledge of cloning describe 5 important aspects of the method in detailsThe Joneses were referred to a clinical geneticist because their 6-month-old daughter was failing to grow adequately and was having recurrent infections. The geneticist took a detailed family history (which was uninformative) and a medical history of their daughter. He discovered that their daughter had a history of a constant cough and wheeze that was becoming progressively worse, had difficulty gaining weight (failure to thrive), and had an extensive history of yeast infection (thrush) in her mouth. The geneticist did a simple blood test to check their daughters white blood count and determined that she had severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). The geneticist explained that SCID is an immune deficiency that causes a marked susceptibility to infections. The defining characteristic is usually a severe defect in both the T- and B-lymphocyte systems. This results in one or more infections within the first few months of life that are serious and may even be life-threatening. Based on the family history, it was possible that their daughter had inherited a mutant allele from each of them and therefore was homozygous for a gene that causes SCID. If so, each time the Joneses had a child, there would be a 25% chance that the child would have SCID. Prenatal testing is available to determine whether the developing fetus has SCID. If the Joneses want to be certain that their next child will not have SCID, what types of reproductive options do you think they have?You are a genetic counselor, and your patient has asked to be tested to determine if she carries a gene that predisposes her to early-onset cancer. If your patient has this gene, there is a 50/50 chance that all of her siblings inherited the gene as well; there is also a 50/50 chance that it will be passed on to their offspring. Your patient is concerned about confidentiality and does not want anyone in her family to know she is being tested, including her identical twin sister. Your patient is tested and found to carry a mutant allele that gives her an 85% lifetime risk of developing breast cancer and a 60% lifetime risk of developing ovarian cancer. At the result-disclosure session, she once again reiterates that she does not want anyone in her family to know her test results. a. Knowing that a familial mutation is occurring in this family, what would be your next course of action in this case? b. Is it your duty to contact members of this family despite the request of your patient? Where do your obligations lie: with your patient or with the patients family? Would it be inappropriate to try to persuade the patient to share her results with her family members?
- James sees an online ad for an at-home genetic test that promises to deliver personalized nutritional advice based on an individuals genetic profile. The company can test for genetic variations, the advertisement states, that predispose individuals to developing health conditions such as heart disease and bone loss or that affect how they metabolize certain foods. If such variations are detected, the company can provide specific nutritional advice that will help counteract their effects. Always keen to take any steps available to ensure the best possible health for their family, James and his wife (Sally) decide that they both should be tested, as should their 11-year-old daughter (Patty). They order three kits. Once the kits arrive, the family members use cotton swabs to take cell samples from their cheeks and place the swabs in individually labeled envelopes. They mail the envelopes back to the company, along with completed questionnaires regarding their diets. Four weeks later, they receive three individual reports detailing the test results and providing extensive guidelines about what foods they should eat. Among the results is the finding that James has a particular allele in a gene that may make him vulnerable to the presence of free radicals in his cells. The report suggests that he increase his intake of antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, and highlights a number of foods that are rich in those vitamins. The tests also show that Sally has several genetic variations that indicate that she may be at risk for elevated bone loss. The report recommends that she try to minimize this possibility by increasing her intake of calcium and vitamin D and lists a number of foods she could emphasize in her diet. Finally, the report shows that Patty has a genetic variation that may mean that she has a lowered ability to metabolize saturated fats, putting her at risk for developing heart disease. The report points to ways in which she can lower her intake of saturated fats and lists various types of foods that would be beneficial for her. A number of companies now offer genetic-testing services, promising to deliver personalized nutritional or other advice based on peoples genetic profiles. Generally, these tests fall into two different categories, with individual companies offering unique combinations of the two. The first type of test detects alleles of known genes that encode proteins that play an established role in, for example, counteracting free radicals in cells or in building up bone. In such cases, it is easy to see why individuals carrying alleles that may encode proteins with lower levels of activity may be more vulnerable to free radicals or more susceptible to bone loss. A second type of test examines genetic variations that may have no clear biological significance (i.e., they may not occur within a gene or may not have a detectable effect on gene activity) but have been shown to have a statistically significant correlation with a disease or a particular physiological condition. For example, a variation may frequently be detected in individuals with heart disease even though the reason for the correlation between the variation and the disease may be entirely mysterious.
