Why is DNA fingerprinting used?

To determine who is the child's father

determine if a family relationship exist between two people

All of the following are advantages of GMO's except

unknown long term health effects

A gene for human growth hormone (HGH) production is taken from human DNA and inserted into a bacterial plasmid. Which statement explains why bacteria are used as host organisms for creating recombinant DNA in this example?

They replicate quickly, with each cell producing HGH.

They can be injected directly into patients to produce HGH.

The digest the gene and metabolize the nucleotides into HGH.

The provide the HGH production gene that can be inserted into a human cell.

Genetically engineered bacteria are currently being used to produce certain human proteins. Which best explains the advantage associated with this process?

The genetically engineered proteins can be produced in large quantities with less cost.

The genetically engineered proteins can be used to produce human clones.

The genetically engineered proteins have been found to cure most cancers.

The genetically engineered proteins are less harmful than normal human proteins.

Which of these procedures involves using DNA fingerprinting as a common practice to identify an individual?

using blood, skin, or other tissues to solve crimes

determining possible future weight and height of a child

determining the parents of a baby that may have been switched at birth

identifying a decomposed body or part of a body

What is the primary purpose of using restriction enzymes in gel electrophoresis?

It allows the strands of DNA to be cut into various lengths for testing.

It restricts the number of base pairs that can be tested in a sample.

It makes the testing simpler by moving the strands into the gel faster.

It allows the DNA strands to be charged so the electrical current can send the strands into the gel.

Gel electrophoresis separates DNA according to size. Which is true regarding movement of the DNA?

The longest pieces of DNA will move the least distance.

The longest pieces of DNA will move the greatest distance.

The shortest pieces of DNA line up along the middle.

The shortest pieces of DNA line up an equal distance from the middle

Which best describes recombinant DNA?

inserted genes from one organism into another to direct it to produce a protein

DNA that has been deactivated by enzymes

DNA found in organelles other than the nucleus

genes developed when an egg nucleus and a sperm nucleus fuse to form a zygote

Which would be the benefit of a transgenic crop?

increased demands for nutrients

Maggie is a transgenic goat. How does being transgenic make Maggie different from non-transgenic goats?

Maggie has DNA implanted from another organism

Maggie has DNA from both of her parents.

Maggie has DNA that winds around proteins.

Maggie has DNA that uses a different coding system.

Which has the Human Genome Project been useful in determining?

whether individuals could carry genes for a certain condition

the frequency of crossing-over during meiosis

whether a fetus has Down Syndrome

Which best describes the impact that the Human Genome Project has has on society?

It has helped scientists determine that certain genes can cause diseases

It has led to discrimination against genetically flawed individuals

It has led to the appearance of new diseases

It has cost society billions of dollars without any major benefits

Why might stem cell research lead to a cure for diabetes?

Stem cells can be used to grow pancreas cells that produce insulin.

Stem cells can create babies that have normal functioning pancreases.

Dolly the sheep was an example of sucessful...
