From your own perspective, explain your answer in the questions in not more than 5 sentences. 1. If you are a farmer would you take the chance of growing crops that are pest resistant? Why or why not? 2. Considering the knowledge gained in genetic engineering, would you try to patronize GMO fruits and vegetables? Why or why not? 3.

Is genetic engineering morally permissible or not?arrow_forwardA graduate student isolates two new retroviruses: Virus A and Virus B. To determine whether these viruses could cause cancer, the student infected human cells with each of the viruses and then transfered the infected cells to nude mice to see if the viruses would cause formation of tumors. The student was able to determine by PCR that both viruses are integrated into the genome of the host cells before transplanting cell in mice. The data for this assay are shown in the figure below. Explain how the mechanism of transduction may be different for these two viruses to yield the observed data (limit 4-5 sentences).
