Chapter 22, Problem 3CS
Summary Introduction
To determine: If a gene drive system can be used to remove invasive species that cause widespread damage to the ecosystem.
Introduction: A gene drive is a part of genetic engineering that is used for inserting a particular set of genes in a part of the population or complete population. The gene drive should be done in proper phases to prevent misconduct. This can be done by altering the probability of transferring a particular gene to the offspring by using techniques such as addition, deletion, or modification of the genes.

Suppose that a newly identified mutation in humans causes formation of tooth tissue
in the nasal cavity. What class of developmental genes would you expect to be
mutated in this case?
O a) Gap genes
O b) Maternal-effect genes
c) Pair-rule genes
O d) Binary switch genes
The field of genetics that studies how gene expression can be affected by signals from the environment is called:
A) genomics
B) epigenetics
C) environmental genetics
D) proteomics
Consider reintroduction and augmentation programs. Are they worth it? Are there
circumstances in which they are not worth it? For augmentation programs specifically, is
it a concern that novel genetic material, in the form of DNA from a closely-related
species, is introduced? Why or Why not?
