A. What is the pathogen that is attacking bananas today?b. Why is this especially problematic in Africa? C. Why do we expect to lose the war with this pathogen?d. What is random mutagenesis?
Which letter is correct A. Genetic engineering is preferred because a desired gene to crops may not exist in their species, so conventional agriculture could not be applied.   B. Conventional agriculture is preferred because they're natural, and don't have interference in their genome, so they're healthier.   C. Genetic engineering is preferred because through it, we can create new species of plants resistant to pests.   D. Conventional agriculture is preferred because they produce more crop compared to genetic modifications.
1a) Why is it possible for you to study the eye colour gene by extracting cheek cells?   a. Because the nucleus of every cell in the human body contains the same genetic information. b. Because the cheek cells are located near the cells of the eye and so they are able to exchange DNA.   c. Because all genes in the human body are expressed at all times so it is easy to study them. d. All of the above are possible explanations. 1b) What is the purpose of heating the sample to 75°C following addition of the 0.2M NaOH solution?   a. To denature the histone proteins that are keeping the DNA tightly coiled. b. To ensure that all the DNA is removed from the swab in preparation for PCR.   c. To breakdown the cheek cell membrane to release the DNA from the cell.  d. It breaks down the circular DNA down into linear fragments so that they will be easier to visualize.i
