Summary Introduction
To explain: The type of tomatoes that should be picked and the reason why it should be picked.
Introduction: Genetically modified foods or genetically engineered crops refer to foods that are produced with changes in DNA using genetic engineering techniques, wherein good traits are introduced in order to improve the quality and quantity of the yield.

They want to determine if the samples contain a toxin or a virus. Material from each sample
is used to inoculate leaves on the plant type where the lesions were observed. Both sample
1 and sample 2 produce a lesion. Material from that lesion was then taken and applied to a
second set of leaves using either undiluted, or various dilutions of the prepared sample as
indicated below for the two different samples. Choose one of the answers below and
briefly explain why you choose that answer.
A. Both samples contain viruses but they are different viruses.
B. Both samples contain toxins but they are different toxins.
C. Samples 1 contains a toxin and samples 2 contains a virus.
D. Sample 1 contains a virus and sample 2 contains a toxin.

Figure A, from left to right, is loaded with the following samples: 100 bp ladder, GMO positive control, GMO Negative Food stuff, soy bean extraction, corn bread extraction, and papaya extraction. Using Figure B, the 100 bp ladder markers, what sizes are the bands in well 5 (cornbread extraction)?
A wealthy elderly couple die together in an accident. Soon, a man shows up to claim their
fortune, saying that he is their only son who ran away from home as a boy. Other relatives
dispute his claim. Hospital records show that the deceased couple were type AB and0
respectively. The claimant to the fortune was type O. Could he be their son? Explain your
answer.
Two parents think their baby was switched at the hospital. It's 1968, so DNA fingerprinting
technology does not exist yet. The mother has blood type A, the father has blood type AB,
and the baby has blood type "B."

genotypes for children produced by this
couple
Father's genotype(s):
Baby's genotype(s):
What is the probability that the baby was
switched?

- Thirty corn seedlings of equal size were randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups. At the beginning of the experiment, the plants in group I were dried and the mass was determined. The plants in group Il were maintained in light for a week. The plants in group III were maintained in the dark for a week. All conditions, other than light, were the same for groups IlI and III. At the end of the week, the plants in groups Il and III were dried and the mass was determined. The experimental results are provided in the table.
