Students have asked these similar questions
a) An insecticidal protein that is now used widely as a pest prevention strategy in genetically engineered crops was first found in
b) A medical researcher is trying to develop a diagnostic technique for a disease which is characterized by replication of a particular large chromosomal region. What would be the most appropriate technique?
c) You are the scientific consultant for a television show about forensic analysis. In an upcoming episode, investigators will compare the DNA of a suspect and a DNA sample collected from the victim's fingernails. You are to write up a brief explanation of the technique required for comparing the DNA. Which technique should you explain?
True or Falso
a) ____Ti plasmid cloning requires the use of the Agrobacterium tumefaciens to insert a recombinant gene into a target plant.
b) ____Vitamin A deficiency is a serious disease that can cause blindness and death in children, but genetic engineering has created a novel food product called golden rice that is fortified with Vitamin A and is freely available for use in rice-dependent countries order to combat this deficiency.
Describe how restriction enzymes like EcoR1 are used to create recombinant plasmids and what the process is for using these plasmids to replicate a piece of target DNA. Include information about how to create sticky ends, the makeup of the bacterial plasmid and how to tell if the gene was successfully inserted in the plasmid and if the plasmid has been transformed by the bacteria. You may use a drawing to enhance your description

- PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen. How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population? Based on your reading of the materials in this unit, what factors can affect fertility in humans? Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.arrow_forwardDescribe a specific example of an environmental stimulus to which you have seen plants responding.
