2. What is Genetically Modified Organism (GMO)?(1-4 sentences only)
3. Illustrate your own Designer genes using this information:The Arctic apple is a fruit engineered to resist browning after being cut. Currently they are only available in the US – in golden, fuji and gala varieties – where they have been given Food and Drug Administration approval. If approved in Europe, they would have to be labelled as genetically modified. The manufacturers claim the main benefit is to help cut down on food waste. And based on the following:
1. Identify a special trait.
2. Identify a source organism.
3. Identify a target organism
4. Identify the modified/added trait.

Bruce and his parents moved to a semi-tropical region of the United States when he was about 3 years old. He loved to be outside year-round and swim, surf, snorkel, and play baseball. Bruce was fair-skinned, and in his childhood years, was sunburned quite often. In his teen years, he began using sunscreens, and although he never tanned very much, he did not have the painful sunburns of his younger years. After graduation from the local community college, Bruce wanted an outdoor job and was hired at a dive shop. He took people out to one of the local reefs to snorkel and scuba dive. He didnt give a second thought to sun exposure because he used sunscreen. His employer did not provide health insurance, so Bruce did not go for annual checkups, and tried to stay in good health. In his late 20s, Bruce was injured trying to keep a tourist from getting caught between the dive boat and the dock. He went to an internist, who treated his injury and told Bruce he was going to give him a complete physical exam. During the exam, the internist noticed a discolored patch of skin on Bruces back. She told him that she suspected Bruce had skin cancer and referred him to a dermatologist, who biopsied the patch. At a follow-up visit, Bruce was told that he had melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer. Further testing revealed that the melanoma had spread to his liver and his lungs. The dermatologist explained that treatment options at this stage are limited. The drugs available for chemotherapy have only temporary effects, and surgery is not effective for melanoma at this stage. The dermatologist recommended that Bruce consider entering a clinical trial that was testing a DNA vaccine for melanoma treatment. These vaccines deliver DNA encoding a gene expressed by the cancer cells to the immune system. This primes the immune system to respond by producing large quantities of antibodies that destroy melanoma cells wherever they occur in the body. A clinical trial using one such DNA vaccine was being conducted at a nearby medical center, and Bruce decided to participate. At the study clinic, Bruce learned that he would be in a Phase Ill trial, comparing the DNA vaccine against the standard treatment, which is chemotherapy, and that he would be randomly assigned to receive either the DNA vaccine or the chemotherapy. He was disappointed to learn this. He thought he would be receiving the DNA vaccine.arrow_forwardThe following gel shows the results of a crime scene investigation. Lane 1 shows a DNA sample that was obtained from the scene of a crime (there was evidence of the criminal cutting himself, so it's the criminal's blood sample that produced the DNA bands in lane 1).

- Jeremy notices that his friend Dan (the son of Robyn, a single parent) has the same laugh and dimples as the longtime mailman. Ignoring ethical and privacy concerns, Jeremy decides that since he has just learned about PCR in class, he will perform a paternity test on the side during his BISC 336 lab to determine whether Mike is related to the mailman or whether he is related to the Corner store clerk. He obtains hair samples from all three. He finds a 100% match between Mike and the mailman, what should he tell Mike? A. He found his long lost Father - the milkman B. Nothing, it is impolite to meddle is someone else's business C. Nothing he can't determine relatives using the information he has D. He found his long lost Father - the milkman E.
