- Genetic mutations are permanent. Do you agree or disagree? Defend your decision.arrow_forwardOption 3: It is available, so use it. The planet is changing, and we should use this to help humans evolve. Allow changes. Drawbacks - those who don't have enough money can't afford it. Look through these options and choose one. What are some other pros and cons of genetic modifications?arrow_forwardThe use of genetically modified organisms in areas of agriculture and medicine is favored by many. However, knowing that possible risks may occur as a result of their usage, organizations who are pro-people’s right deem it necessary to oppose the commercialization of these genetically engineered products. As a youth, what is your stand to this issue and how would you make your position clear?arrow_forward
- Why is there a debate around the world regarding Genetically modified organism (GMO)?arrow_forwardWhat is a genetically modified organism (GMO)? Question 18 options: A plant with certain genes added that mimic naturally occurring genes for that plant An organism with an artificially altered genome An organism made of proteins from two different organisms An animal produced by artificial selectionarrow_forwardDo you think genetically modified foods have more risks or benefits and are comfortable eating genetically modified foods (like fish genes in tomatoes or bacteria proteins in corn)?arrow_forward
- Mutations are just as likely to randomly occur in genes that already have mutations as in genes that do not have mutations True Falsearrow_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_forwardWhich question MOST likely may have led to the development of recombinant DNA technology? Can DNA be cut into fragments by restriction enzymes Can human genes be integrated into bacterial DNA so bacteria can copy the genes and produce their proteins?

- Therapeutic 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. BIUarrow_forwardGenetic modificationarrow_forwardIs it safe to eat genetically modified foods?arrow_forward
