Question
Chapter 14.8, Problem 1CT
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The procedure by which public support of science should be allocated.
Introduction:
Public science includes the research and development that is conducted for the welfare of the society. The scientific community relies on the public trusts in science for the development of new products and technology. Public support the scientists and researchers through funding on the more relevant projects and a new arrival in the field of science. The government agencies should provide federal funds for scientific research and proposals that have wider outcomes in public affairs.

The idea behind PCR-based diagnostics is that a very small number of microbial genomes in a patient sample can be multiplied by PCR and more easily detected by the clinical team managing the patient’s care. Also, genetic-based diagnostics are very useful for viral infections because we don’t have biochemical tests, etc. to distinguish one virus from another (remember, viruses are metabolically inactive). However, a lot of work goes into the development of these tests. For instance, PCR requires primers that are complementary to the viral genome that is being copied.
If primers are complementary to the target genome, what must scientists know to design primers that bind to the viral genome to be copied? (I mean this to be a general question; don’t look up the details of designing primers)

How is it used in forensic science?arrow_forwardAny molecular project, whether it be genetic engineering, phylogenetics, population genetics, disease investigation, or drug design almost always starts with the same basic requirement, needing to isolate a piece of DNA or RNA to start with. After this, one needs to understand amplification and sequencing using the process of PCR. Given its foundational importance, all biology students should be required to complete a certificate showing competency in PCR before they are allowed to graduate. Agree/Disagree?

- You are a researcher working at Ann's Herbal Farm. The owner of the farm would like you to create a new breed of orchids that could glow in the dark by incorporating jellyfish genes into its genome. Describe briefly the creation of this transgenic plant using nature's genetic engineer, a soil bacterium. State the name of the bacterium in your description.arrow_forwardScientists have reportedly isolated short fragments of DNA from fossilized dinosaur bones hundreds of millions of years old. The technique used to isolate this DNA is the polymerase chain reaction, which is capable of amplifying very small amounts of DNA a millionfold. Critics have claimed that the DNA isolated from dinosaur bones is not purely of ancient origin, but instead has been contaminated by DNA from present-day organisms such as bacteria, mold, or humans. What precautions, analyses, and control experiments could be carried out to ensure that DNA recovered from fossils is truly of ancient origin?arrow_forwardWhich of the following correctly describes a difference between Sanger sequencing and PCR? O Sanger sequencing does not involve the use of primer, while PCR does. O Sanger sequencing is in vitro DNA synthesis, while PCR is in vivo DNA synthesis. Sanger sequencing is anabolic (synthesizing) process, while PCR is a catabolic (breaking down) process. O Sanger sequencing requires DNA polymerase, while PCR requires RNA polymerase. O DNA synthesis is terminated in Sanger sequencing by the addition of ddNTPs, while each newly synthesized PCR strand is terminated at the end of the template strand.arrow_forward
