- Genetically Modified Foods The creation of transgenic crop plants using recombinant DNA methods involves the transfer of just one gene or a small number of genes to the plants, in contrast to classical breeding methods in which hundreds or even thousands of genes are transferred at once. Explain why this is true. If fewer genes are transferred during the creation of transgenic crops, why are some people afraid that they are dangerous?arrow_forwardProteins like channels embedded within the cell's plasma membrane and enzymes scattered in the cytoplasm carry out vital functions.

- . Early in development, most human cells turn off expression of an essential component of telomerase, the enzyme responsible for addition of telomere repeat sequences (5’-TTAGGG) to the ends of chromosomes. Thus, as our cells proliferate their telomeres get shorter and shorter, but are normally not lost over the course of a lifetime. If cells are removed from the body and grown in culture, however they ultimately enter a state of replicative senescence and stop dividing when their telomeres get too short. By contrast, most human tumor cells express active telomerase, allowing them to maintain their telomeres and grow beyond the normal limit imposed by senescence - good for them, bad for us. Anticipating a universal cure for cancer, you set up a company to screen chemical ‘libraries’ for telomerase inhibitors. The company share price takes a dive, however, when a rival group generates a strain of telomerase-knockout mice. These mice breed happily for several generations, but…arrow_forwardGenetics of man questionarrow_forwardThere are close to 200 different cell types in the human body. Why do they look and function differently from one another? O They each express a different set of genes O They each express all the same genes, but in a different order at different times O They each have slightly different genomes O They all express the same genes, but proteins that aren't needed in a particular cell type are degraded before they can function QUESTION 10 When you exercise, you typically start breathing harder. This is because: O You are switching from aerobic to anaerobic respiration O More oxygen is needed to meet the increased ATP demand O Carbon dioxide stores are quickly depleted during exercise Muscle cells can only use aerobic respirationarrow_forward
- Metabolic control is crucial part of survival for all bacteria. The lactose operon is located on the bacteria chromosome and assists in maintaining homeostasis. (a) Describe how an operon regulates the expression of genes. (b) Feedback plays an important part in life helping to maintain homeostasis. Explain how both negative and positive feedback help maintain homeostasisarrow_forwardGriffith, in his 1928 experiments, demonstrated that bacterial strains could be genetically transformed. The evidence that DNA was the transforming principle responsible for this phenomenon came later. What was the key experiment that Avery, MacCleod, and McCarty performed to prove that DNA was responsible for the genetic change from rough cells into smooth cells?

- In 2005, researcher Woo-suk Hwang reported that he had made immortal stem cells from human patients. His research was hailed as a breakthrough for people affected by degenerative diseases, because stem cells may be used to repair a persons own damaged tissues. Hwang published his results in a peer-reviewed journal. In 2006, the journal retracted his paper after other scientists discovered that Hwangs group had faked their data. Does the incident show that results of scientific studies cannot be trusted? Or does it confirm the usefulness of a scientific approach, because other scientists discovered and exposed the fraud?arrow_forwardYou are studying a bacterial metabolic pathway that results in the synthesis of a product, vitalin, that is essential for survival. In the figure below, each number represents an intermediate product, and each letter represents the enzyme (protein) that catalyzes that step. 3 d>5'> Vitalin Compound –"> 1 '> 2 a 4 > Vitalin You find that bacteria with mutations in either c or f can survive, but a bacterial cell that has mutations in both c and f cannot survive.
