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 goats

Genetic engineering applied for generating food sources is said to be different from traditional breeding. Which of the following is different in the case of genetic engineering? It always involves the mixing of different genes from similar species. It mixes genes of different organisms such as viruses and crops, spiders, and goats. It selects from the combination of genes that recombine on their own It involves the gene of the whole organism.
Improving the nutritional value of food has long been one of the goals in agricultural genetics. Crossing different strains of plants and animals followed by generations of artificial selection have yielded some successes, including the development of high-protein maize. The use of gene transfer biotechnology has led to other advances, including the creation of nutritionally enhanced rice to combat vitamin A deficiency and blindness. Researchers are now turning their attention to the nutritional enhancement of animals that are used as food. Scientists are now turning their attention to using gene transfer technology to nutritionally enhance animal foods. Recently, biotechnology was used to produce a sheep with increased amounts of an omega-3 essential fatty acid that plays an important role in the development of the nervous system and, in adults, reduces the risk of coronary artery disease. Once a small number of transgenic animals have been produced, they can be bred by conventional methods to establish a source of nutritionally enhanced meat and milk. The use of biotechnology is presenting consumers with many new choices, which will become more common in the future. Increasingly, we will all have to educate ourselves about the pros and cons of such decisions. How would you explain your decision to eat nutritionally enhanced meat from animals modified by biotechnology?

On the other hand, how would you explain your preference for meat from animals without higher levels of beneficial fatty acids?

Which of the following best describes genome wide association study? genomes of diseased and healthy individuals are compared to identify the mutations that cause disease molecular markers are identified that are unique to diseased genomes the frequency of molecular markers alleles are compared between diseased and healthy individuals to identify alleles at higher frequency in diseased individuals tumor genomes are sequenced to identify genes with unusual expression patterns individuals from diverse human populations are sequenced to identify how they are related to each other
I believe that there are many good things that can come out of people getting to design their baby’s genetic material. But there are also many bad things as well. From the article by Bio medical about the pros and cons of having a designer baby it states that a pro is that this type of engineering can “ might help prevent genetic diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s Disease, down syndrome, Spinal Muscular Atrophy, and many others”. I think that it is great that we could get rid of Alzheimer’s due to how destructive it can be to the people that suffer it. But I think the other diseases that it can eliminate is horrible due to them making our world a more unique place such as people with autism, Down syndrome. By doing this it could eliminate the whole population of people with disabilities community and make everyone “normal”. Another bad that I found in the article Ethics of designer babies which states that a major flaw for these babies is “designer baby technologies suggest…
Genetic engineering has been a debatable topic in science as many people are only aware of its risk than benefits. Which among the scenarios below are the benefits of using GMOs? I. Genetic engineering in food can be used to alter genes in crops leading to new diseases in pants. II. Genetic engineering in crops such as rice, corn and tomato can be used to obtain new strains with better nutritional qualities. III. Genetic engineering in food can be used to create totally the same substances such as proteins and other food nutrients. IV. Genetic engineering can be used to increase the immunity to diseases in plants leading to uncontrolled transfer of the resistance genes to the harmful pathogens. V. Genetic engineering can restrict the diversity in organisms. VI. Genetic engineering can be used to suppress negative traits in human like certain genetic diseases. a. II, III, IV and VI b. II, III and VI c. I, II, IV and V d. I, III,…

GWAS refers to... Group of answer choices An experimental design only used in humans. A method used in genomics, not an experimental design. An experimental design comparing the genome sequence of many unrelated individuals who differ based on some trait. An experimental design comparing the genome sequence of a few related individuals who differ based on some trait.
How is a transgenic organism engineered? How is genetic engineering different from traditional agricultural breeding? How is it similar?
If you have a mutation in your skin cells from falling asleep in a tanning bed, how will this affect your offspring? Group of answer choices It won't affect them because mutations cannot be passed down to offspring It will affect their entire body because their entire body grew out of the fertilized egg It will affect your offspring's skin cells only It may affect them, depending on whether those particular skin cells are passed on to them It won't affect them because the mutation is not in a gamete
Which of the following is the clearest example of an interaction between genes and environment? Group of answer choices Alice has green eyes, whereas her brother has brown eyes Children with two alleles for phenylketonuria develop the disease but children with only one allele do not have even a weak form of the disease People born with genes for gluten intolerance get very sick when they eat gluten A child with two average-height parents grows up to be quite a bit taller than average
