- Much of the controversy over genetically engineered foods has centered on whether special labeling should be required on all products made from genetically modified crops. Some people have advocated labeling that identifies the product as having been made from genetically modified plants. Others have argued that food labeling should be required to identify only the ingredients, not the process by which they were produced. Choose a side in this issue and justify your stand.arrow_forwardIdentify a specific technique used to produce the GMO tomatoes. | Tarrow_forward1.

Bob started preparing for his food cart lunch service at 6 a.m. He pulled the hamburgers from the freezer and put them in a pan near the stove to defrost. He washed his lettuce and tomatoes, sliced them, placed them in pans, and put them in the reach-in. He got out the onions, sliced them, and sautéed them for later service for patty melts, placing the cooked onions next to the stove so that they would be convenient. At about 10 a.m., he marked his burgers on the grill, cooking them to 110°F. He then placed them in a pan with some beef stock in it, so that they would stay warm. At noon, he was open for business. Several customers bought hamburgers that day, and some got patty melts. Two days later, the health inspector pid Bob a visit. Several of his patrons had gotten quite ill. 1.

- ascocarps from along the petri dish perimeter. Leave this Sordaria cross plate out of direct sunlight at 22-24 degrees C for 8-10 days. After this incubation the mature Sordaria cross plate cultures will look like the image on the right above. Use a toothpick or sterile loop to remove several ascocarps (see page 2 of the pre-lab file) from one of the hybrid zones. Make a wet mount of the ascocarps on a microscope slide and gently press the coverslip with your thumb or the eraser on the end of a pencil until the ascocarps are broken open. This will release clusters of asci. Place the slide under the microscope and scan the slide looking for clusters of released asci. Identify hybrid asci (with both dark and tan spores). Once you have found a cluster of hybrid asci score as many asci as possible for the arrangement of dark and light spores looking for asci where crossing over has taken place (see pre lab file) and below: No crossing over: Crossing over: For the asci shown in the figure…arrow_forwardLabel of these two images.arrow_forwardThey want to determine if the samples contain a toxin or a virus. Material from each sample is used to inoculate leaves on the plant type where the lesions were observed. Both sample 1 and sample 2 produce a lesion. Material from that lesion was then taken and applied to a second set of leaves using either undiluted, or various dilutions of the prepared sample as indicated below for the two different samples. Choose one of the answers below and briefly explain why you choose that answer. A. Both samples contain viruses but they are different viruses. B. Both samples contain toxins but they are different toxins. C. Samples 1 contains a toxin and samples 2 contains a virus. D. Sample 1 contains a virus and sample 2 contains a toxin.
