- Use the word bank below to match each biotechnology with the best description. Gene Therapy DNA fingerprinting Stem Cell Therapy Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) Cloningarrow_forwardfor germline gene therapy answer these questions please: Past, present and future uses Table of benefits and concerns (think society-ethical, and environment) Any knowledge gaps? (look below for what i want) for knowledge gaps, can you argue other opportunities or safer methods? E.g. North America was not allowed to do research on embryonic stem cells and was left behind by others countries who advanced the research. However, this restriction made us look at other solutions and scientists discovered adult stem cells!arrow_forwardBiotechnology is a constantly developing field with many exciting applications. It focuses on the use of living organisms and their biological processes to make useful products and address practical problems. This includes advancements in clinical diagnostics, epidemiological tracking, forensics, industry, and many other areas. In this simulation, you will have the opportunity to perform molecular techniques commonly used in the field of biotechnology to create medically important compounds such as insulin and human growth hormone.Bacteria can obtain naked DNA from their environment in a process called transformation. This process occurs naturally but can also be used in the genetic engineering field to alter the genetic makeup of bacteria. In this simulation, you transform bacteria with a jellyfish gene whose product is green fluorescent protein. The transformed bacteria now have the genetic information to produce GFP (green fluorescent protein), causing them to glow green under…arrow_forward
- Cystic fibrosis is caused by a mutation in a gene resulting in changes to a protein that regulates the movement of salt in and out of cells. The result is thick, sticky mucus in the respiratory, digestive and reproductive systems. Which application of genetic engineering is a promising treatment for cystic fibrosis? O Gene therapy. DNA recombination. OGel electrophoresis. DNA fingerprinting.arrow_forwardYou have decided to combine your love of biology and your love of dogs to train dogs to detect cancer. You can reliably train dogs to detect cancer with a high degree of accuracy. The dogs are able to detect the cancer simply by sniffing clothing that had been worn by the patient and so there is no contact between the dog and the patient. Since there are no risks from the test, and you know that cancer caught early is often treatable you are keen to develop your idea further. What possible negative consequences would need to be considered before concluding that this type of screening test should be more widely used? You may select more than one answer. a. Risks associated with further tests such as biopsies to type and stage the cancer. b. Risks associated with surgical interventions to remove the cancer. C. Risks associated with chemotherapy used post surgery.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is an application of gene chips? Expression profiling. SNP detection. Tumor classification and analysis. All of these answer choices are correct. Detecting chromosomal abnormalities.arrow_forward
- Arrange the best steps to take to identify the gene and mutation that causes the lung cancer. Not all of the answers will be placed. Isolate tumor DNA lightly fragment the genome transfect the genome into mouse cell line determine shared transfected region repeat with small fragments and sequence the gene generate a cell line from the tumor sequence the tumor-cell genome isolate transformed colonies introduce transfected cells into a mouse Introduce the mutation in cell culturearrow_forwardGel Electrophoresis is used in many different forms to learn about DNA, RNA or proteins. Research one laboratory method or technique that uses DNA electrophoresis in order to learn more or make determinations about DNA, RNA or Proteins. Name of technique or method Brief description of what the electrophoresis results are used for in the method. Include a link to your resources Include an image of the results or technique you describearrow_forwardA graduate student who has not taken BIOL 519 thinks they have discovered a new oncogene that could cause breast cancer. The student transfects cells with this oncogene and finds that the cells proliferate uncontrollably. The student next designs a PCR assay that will detect the presence of the oncogene in cancerous breast tissue. The student sets up the assay and analyzes the presence of the oncogene in normal and tumor issue samples (See data below). The student is disappointed to see that the potential oncogene is present at similar levels in both the normal and tumor tissue. Therefore, the student concludes that this gene is not an oncogene. Do you agree with this conclusion? Justify your answer (5-6 senetences max).arrow_forward

Then write an essay following the outline below: Paragraph 1: Define Stem Cell Research. Establish Pro and Con positions regarding ethical arguments for and against conducting stem cell research. Paragraphs 2 and 3: Provide one paragraph presenting elements supportive of the pro argument and one paragraph presenting elements supportive of the con argument. Paragraph 4: Summarize each argument. Paragraph 5: State your personal opinion based on what you have learned from your reading. Provide citations for your sources.arrow_forward1) What are the limitations of targeted versus whole-genome or whole-exome profiling of cancer mutations? 2) What can you infer about mutations that are common to almost all of the cells in a tumor? 3) Summarize the high-level differences between the VCF and MAF file formats. 4) How do germline and somatic mutations differ in terms of their effect on cancer risk and prognosis?arrow_forward
