Read this paragraph from a passage.However, not everyone is convinced that genetically modified foods are beneficial. Opponents say that too little research has been done on the effectsof GMOs on humans and on the environment. They argue that GMOs could be creating new poisons. They are also concerned about what might happenif genetically modified plants breed with wild plants. Some farmers are concerned about the possibility of inadvertently crossbreeding GMO plants withnon-GMO plants. For example, if the pollen from a GMO plant blows into their organic field, now that organic crop could become a GMO crop. Thepossibility also exists that all this interbreeding could lead to new strains of herbicide-resistant super-weeds.What is the topic sentence of this paragraph?

Dr. Frank, Ph.D. says that he is going to use CRISPR-Cas9 to cure a blood disorder that runs in his patient’s family. He says he will use CRISPR-Cas9 to inject the “healthy” allele into the patient’s thigh muscle. Will Dr. Frank's plan work? Why or why not?
It is important to mention there are benefits of gene patenting. Regarding diseases that do not yet have cures, the ability to give a company exclusive rights over a drug increases competition within the field (Topu, 2019). Explain

Using a mouse as a model organism to study a multigenic order like type two diabetes is a waste of researchers’ time since mice do not contain the same genes found in humans. Agree/Disagree? Answer and explain here:
Because genetic engineering involves the modification of an organism's set of instructions, it has created a dilemma raising both moral and ethical concerns. For instance, a biotechnological company has found a way to produce rice that is immune to pests and diseases, which is vital for the establishment of food security. However, the methods that will be implemented are by splicing off the genes of endangered pandas using invasive procedures that may harm their population. Will you support this? Why or why not? Limit your answers to 5 sentences or less. Be brief and concise.

Suppose that you are hired by a biotechnology firm to produce a strain of giant fruit flies, by using recombinant DNA technology, so that genetics students will not be forced to strain their eyes when looking at tiny flies. You go to the library and learn that growth in fruit flies is normally inhibited by a hormone called shorty substance P (SSP). You decide that you can produce giant fruit flies if you can somehow turn off the production of SSP. SSP is synthesized from a compound called XSP in a single-step reaction catalyzed by the enzyme runtase: XSP———————>SSP runtase A researcher has already isolated cDNA for runtase and has sequenced it, but the location of the runtase gene in the Drosophila genome is unknown. In attempting to devise a strategy for turning off the production of SSP and producing giant flies by using standard recombinant DNA techniques, you discover that deleting, inactivating, or otherwise mutating this DNA sequence in Drosophila turns out to be extremely…
