- What is the role of Agrobacterium tumefaciens in the production of transgenic plants? Question 15 options: Tomatoes get increased shelf life when exposed to the beneficial bacteria Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Transgenic plants are all designed to be resistant to the disease causing bacteria Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a bacteria that is used to move desired genes into the plant cells. Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a bacteria that produces Bt toxins that kill small mammals.arrow_forwardDo you agree about the application of biotechnology in animal agriculture? Justify your answer.arrow_forwardDo 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.arrow_forward

- Below are some of the arguments about the use of transgenic organisms. From your own perspective, explain your answer in the questions in not more than 5 sentences. 1. If you are a farmer would you take the chance of growing crops that are pest resistant? Why or why not? 2. Considering the knowledge gained in genetic engineering, would you try to patronize GMO fruits and vegetables? Why or why not? 3. Is creating or altering genes of an organism a form of Blasphemy to the creator (God)? Why? 4. Is genetic engineering morally permissible or not?arrow_forwardTherapeutic cloning is a process of producing embryonic stem cells that could possibly be used to grow healthy tissues and organs. The process involves the removal of the nucleus from a mature somatic cell and injecting this nucleus into an unfertilized egg. The egg then begins to divide and, after four to five days, embryonic stem cells begin to form. These embryonic stem cells are unique in that they can develop into different types of tissues, and scientists believe they can direct the cells to develop into specific tissue types that they choose. What are some possible applications of therapeutic cloning? Explain your answer.
