Summary Introduction

To determine: The methods to determine the function of a gene that has been cloned.

Introduction: For the study of a genetic disorder, scientists must know the location of the gene and the normal function of the protein encoded by this gene. The other essential point is to know about the mutant gene or protein that produces the disease phenotype.

It has been suggested that it would make the study of human diseases easier if cloned transgenic animals were produced that carried faulty versions of human genes (e.g., the gene that causes cystic fibrosis). a. Why would such animals be useful in medical research? : b. What ethical questions are raised by the creation of such transgenic animals?
In the 1996 movie Multiplicity, Doug (Michael Keaton) is a construction worker who wants to spend more time with his family. He meets a friendly scientist (aren't we all?) who has a method for cloning humans. Doug decides to make a clone of himself who can do his work while he spends time with his family. The clone, named "Two", seems great at first, but later develops some functional problems. Two gets tired of working and clones himself to make "Three" to take over. Three then leads to "Four".  Each successive clone seems to have an increasing number of issues in function. Ignoring ethical and technical considerations with making adult clones of a human, is there any logical or genetic validity to the premise that make a clone might create problems?  If so, what might some of those problems be?
Let’s say, you want to deliver a gene into a cell and in your lab, there are lot of options available to do that. Describe five different options that you can use to deliver that gene.
