Choose any GMO that currently exists (bacteria, plant, animal, human), even if it was not specifically mentioned in the course materials. Next, describe the genetic modification it has undergone (i.e., the gene(s) changed, added or removed), the effect of this modification, and the benefit that the GMO provides for people. Finally, explain your personal opinion on this specific example of biotechnology.

Select a biotechnology approach and describe why this is a good idea, or why it is not a good idea. Use specific examples.

Genetic information has become part of our culture and it is difficult to tell the difference between unmodified and genetically modified food sources such as plant and animals. After reading this module’s material regarding vectors in biotechnology, consider the potential for nanotechnology and scientific advancement.Research nanotechnology and its potential use in biotechnology. In one or two paragraphs, explain the potential advantages and disadvantages of nanotechnology in health care, agriculture, or industry and discuss whether you would or would not support further research.

Distinguish between the general & technical uses of the term “biotechnology”. What is Recombinant DNA Technology/Genetic Engineering?

A patient is diagnosed with lung cancer using imaging. To establish the best treatment option, doctors ask to profile the gene expression of the tumor, using a biopsy and microarray analysis. Describe the steps involved in the analysis in detail. The analysis reveals that a new gene therapy could be beneficial to the patient. Explain briefly how gene therapy could be used to cure cancer and detail how the treatment can be formulated for delivery to the patient. To prepare DNA for the gene therapy formulation, it is often important to measure the size of the molecule. Explain how this measurement can be done using agarose gel electrophoresis, taking care to detail the property of the DNA molecule at the basis of the technique. To generate large amounts of DNA to manufacture gene therapy payloads or to be able to see them on gel electrophoresis, specific sequences can be amplified by PCR. For a sequence of a 100 base pairs, calculate the number cycles of PCR required to generate 1 ng of…

Introduction: a) Begin with a captivating opening that introduces the topic and its significance. b) Clearly state the thesis statement in this case 2. Body: a) Start with the first main point that discusses the potential benefits of gene editing in humans. b) Transition to the second main point which focuses on the ethical concerns and risks associated with gene editing in humans. Discuss issues like equity fairness and the potential for unintended consequences such as harmful side effects or genetic discrimination. c) Present counterarguments to your points. Acknowledge opposing viewpoints but refute with logical reasoning and supporting evidence emphasizing the importance of considering potential long-term consequences and the need for strict ethical guidelines and regulations. 3. Conclusion: a) Summarize your main points and restate your thesis statement emphasizing the ethical implications of gene editing in…

A person suffering from cystic fibrosis is enrolled in an experimental program where their defective gene that causes the disease is replaced with the normal human gene. Is this person a GMO, transgenic organism, or both? Briefly explain your answer.
