As we practice being able to describe choices in Biology you will use this consolidation task to organize details about the advantages and disadvantages of biotechnologies. In an ideal world, all solutions to improving our food system would have no negative consequences. But issues in Biology involve the interaction of many different factors and changes in one factor can lead to side effects in the others. Decisions should be made by weighing the best evidence for and against a particular choice of
Because you'll be evaluating biotechnology you will definitely want to show your understanding of changes in gene expression
The examplemof biotechnology I am using is in this link https://youtu.be/VS3kcwgIwm0. Using details from this Activity as well as details from other sources, such as PubMed, describe the advantages and disadvantages of this biotechnology. As you continue your research, keep track of your sources. Ask yourself, should the biotechnology be used to help improve a specific issue in our food system? Use good Initiative skills and present these details in a discussion web similar to the example below.

- In a world of advancing technologies and innovative health care, some individuals would rather rely on medical interventions that may solve their health issues. ● English (Australia) With reference to gene therapy, discuss the potential disadvantages with this type of treatment of lifestyle induced diseases. Accessibility: Investigate MacBook Air Focusarrow_forwardGenetic engineering has been used in many different ways, such as human growth hormone for the treatment of pituitary dwarfism (recombinant DNA) plants engineered to be resistant to herbicides and pests an “antifreeze” gene inserted into some Atlantic salmon and halibut pick one of the examples of genetic engineering listed above to expand on. Provide a description of the technology in terms of how it works and what steps are takenarrow_forward1. What is a genetically modified organism? How has recombinant DNA technology pushed the boundaries in terms of what can be done? 2. Why are GMOs becoming more and more necessary? 3. How have GMOs already provided benefits to the human race? 4. What is your stance on genetic modification? Is it okay for some purposes but not others?arrow_forward
- Genetic engineering utilized to create food sources has been said to be both like and unlike traditional breeding. One way it is different is: It mixes genes from different individuals of the same or similar species It involves whole organisms living in the field It selects from combinations of genes that come together on their own It mixes genes of different organisms such as viruses and crops, or spiders and goatsarrow_forwardIn 2005, researcher Woo-suk Hwang reported that he had made immortal stem cells from human patients. His research was hailed as a breakthrough for people affected by degenerative diseases, because stem cells may be used to repair a person's own damaged tissues. Hwang published his results in a peer-reviewed journal. In 2006, the journal retracted his paper after other scientists discovered that Hwang's group had faked their data. Does the incident show that results of scientific studies cannot be trusted? Or does it confirm the usefulness of a scientific approach, because other scientists discovered and exposed the fraud?arrow_forwardCould someone please explain using facts on why we should not continue to explore and develop technologies to extend human life expectancy based on some of the social and ethical implications of research in genetics and genomics!arrow_forward
- How might we, as epidemiologists, increase the validity of genetic studies? What recommendations do you have (assume that you have all of the resources you'd need to implement these changes)?arrow_forwardGenetic 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.arrow_forwardDistinguish between the general & technical uses of the term “biotechnology”. What is Recombinant DNA Technology/Genetic Engineering?arrow_forward
- Describe a discovery that influenced the development of biotechnology made BEFORE Watson, Crick, Franklin and Wilkins discovered the chemical structure of DNA in 1953.Briefly describe the importance of the discovery and how it might have informed the thinking of Watson, Crick, Franklin and Wilkins as they made their own discovery.arrow_forwardInvestigate and explain an application of the Complex Variable in the Biotechnology.arrow_forwardNeural nets and genetic algorithms are ways of developing computer softwareusing concepts from biology. Describe these concepts. Take a look at what is going onwith ChatGPT and Midjourney. Medical biotechnology and examine how you may apply these concepts to the chosen field.What sort of benefits (or problems) might the application of these techniques in this areabring?arrow_forward
