Summary Introduction

To explain: The purpose of the cells with the gene for green fluorescent protein that serves in the Neanderthal hair color experiment.

Concept introduction: Neanderthals are extinct hominins that are closest relatives of Homo sapiens and habituated to the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. The pigmentation in humans is regulated by the MC1R. The loss of function mutation in the MC1R gene in turn affects the skin and hair color. Homozygous mutation of the gene results in red hair and pale skin phenotype.

the raising these fish? To solve some of the problems with farming salmon, scientists produced genetically engineered Atlantic salmon. They inserting a growth hormone from Chinook salmon and a promoter from ocean pout into the genome. The promoter allows the growth hormone to be active all year, instead of only part of the year as in normal salmon. Transgenic Atlantic salmon grow to twice the size of normal Atlantic salmon in the me amount of time. This decreases the time to market weight to as few as 18 months, compared to up to 36 months in normal salmon. So, farmers are able to grow and sell more salmon in a given time period. There are also environmental benefits olup Such as decreased usage and contamination of water resources. The geneticallysbA modified salmon are raised in land-based facilities with pollution management and water recycling systems. Genetically modified salmon reduce the impact on wildnb poulations and aquatic ecosystems.d.erhe 8 plae eqs Thare is still public…
