To distinguish: Between the transgenic and the genetically modified organisms. Introduction: The genetically modified organisms (GMO) are formed by the cloning and insertion of the gene into the genome of organisms. This confers new traits in these organisms after the induction of this gene inside the genome. For example: the induction of genes of resistance in the plants against insecticides. The technique of genetic engineering is used in bacteria to clone some genes of economic value like insulin, human growth hormones, tissue plasminogen activator factor, and hepatitis B vaccine. High yielding varieties of fruits like bananas, apple and grapes have been formed, which are included under the category of genetically modified organisms. The transgenic technology uses the embryonic stem cells, which have the ability to divide and differentiate. These cells are injected inside the body inside the organs, which are damaged and destroyed. It is used for curing diseases like Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson disease. The process of therapeutic cloning was used to generate clones of animals like dolly sheep.

Outline a method for using apomixis to maintain feminized CannabisAssume apomixis is controlled by a single dominant gene. You can choose the type of apomixis: obligate or facultative, gametophytic or sporophytic. Discuss advantages and disadvantages of your proposed method.

Kinetics: One-Compartment First-Order Absorption 1. In vivo testing provides valuable insight into a drug’s kinetics. Assessing drug kinetics following multiple routes of administration provides greater insight than a single route of administration alone. The following data was collected in 250-g rats following bolus IV, oral (PO), and intraperitoneal (ip) administration. Using this data and set of graphs, determine:(calculate for each variable) (a) k, C0, V, and AUC* for the bolus iv data (b) k, ka, B1, and AUC* for the po data c) k, ka, B1, and AUC* for the ip data (d) relative bioavailability for po vs ip, Fpo/Fip (e)absolute ip bioavailability, Fip (f) absolute po bioavailability, Fpo

3. A promising new drug is being evaluated in human trials. Based on preliminary human tests, this drug is most effective when plasma levels exceed 30 mg/L. Measurements from preliminary tests indicate the following human pharmacokinetic parameter values: t1/2,elim = 4.6hr, t1/2,abs = 0.34hr, VD = 0.29 L/kg, Foral = 72%. Based on these parameters, estimate the following if a 49 kg woman were to receive a 1000mg oral dose of this drug: (a) Estimate the plasma concentration of the drug at 1hr, 6 hr, and 20hr after taking the drug ( Concentration estimate) (b) Estimate the time for maximum plasma concentration (tmax). (c) Estimate the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax). (d) Estimate the time at which the plasma level first rises above 30 mg/L. (Note this is a trial and error problem where you must guess a time, plug it into the concentration equation, and determine if it is close to 30 mg/L. Hint: based on part (a) it should be apparent that the answer is less than 1hr.) (e)…
