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 effects of GMOs on humans and on the environment. They argue that GMOs could be creating new poisons. They are also concerned about what might happen if genetically modified plants breed with wild plants. Some farmers are concerned about the possibility of inadvertently crossbreeding GMO plants with non-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. The possibility also exists that all this interbreeding could lead to new strains of herbicide-resistant super-weeds. What is the topic sentence of this paragraph?

Give an overview of the techniques for producing transgenic animals. What are some of the potential applications of genetically modified animals

What are the benefits of GM crops?

An agriculture lab is trying to improve a type of tomato so that it produces large fruits even under very hot, dry conditions. To do this, they must first identify the genes responsible for the tomato's response to temperature and moisture. Which experimental approach would be most helpful in doing this?

Scientists look at thousands of mutagenized flies, one at a time, under a microscope. They are looking for flies that don't look like they have developed normally. They find a remarkable fly with an extra thorax and a complete extra set of wings. This is an example of: A crazy waste of time A forward genetic screen A reverse genetic screen

CRISPR is a revolutionary biological technique that can be used to target specific genes for editing. Could Dr. Seelke use CRISPR to give herself glowing green eyes? No, because CRISPR hasn't been approved for human use No, because she's a grown woman and you can't edit genes in adults O Yes, by inserting the gene for GFP into the pigmented cells in her irises O Yes, by inserting the gene for anywhere in her body

In the picture below, the indicated genes are linked but not syntenic. T/F? False. This statement is false, correct? (because all synthetic genes are linked)

Describe with example, Why transgenic animals are produced?

I want to genetically transform an entire organism. To accomplish this do you think it is easier to work with an organism composed of many cells, or composed of a single cell? Why?

In a story about why GMOs are bad for us, a person claimed that promoters were used to ‘turn on’ genes that are normally off in plants. People subsequently eat the plants and these promoters get into our bodies. Now we have all these promoters circulating in our body and turning genes on that should be off, thus leading to food sensitivities and cancer in our children.
