The agricultural biotech company you work for has tasked you and your co-worker to genetically engineer a plant that produces more oxygen that at the same time also produces more sugar. Your co-worker states that this is impossible.

Questions: Based on what you've learned how would you respond to your co-worker?
What is your opinion of the ethics of manipulating crop plants in such a way?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

- The co-worker is wrong, it is indeed possible

- Genetically engineered plants may represent a milestone to alleviate hunger in the world

Explanation:

During photosynthesis, plants use carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air and water (H2O) from soil and rain in order to produce oxygen and glucose, which is a sugar (molecular formula C6​H12​O6). Subsequently, plants release oxygen into the air and store energy (and carbon compounds) in the form of glucose. In consequence, an increase in the photosynthetic rate is directly associated with an increase in both the production of oxygen and glucose. On the other hand, genetically engineered plants can help to reduce hunger in developing countries. In consequence, it is acceptable to develop genetically modified plants as long as contemplating regulatory measures aimed at producing safe products (for example, by avoiding the introduction of genetically engineered genes into wild crop populations).

Clouded leopards are medium sized, endangered species of cat, living in the very wet cloud forests of Central America. Assume that the normal spots (XDY)are a dominant, sex-linked trait and that dark spots are the recessive counterpart. What is the possible genotype of the mother?

Answers

Answer:

It is all black

Explanation:

Because it changes over time.

A prospective groom, who is healthy, has a sister with cystic fibrosis (CF), an autosomal recessive disease. Their parents are normal. The brother plans to marry a woman who has no history of CF in her family. What is the probability that they will produce a CF child? They are both Caucasian, and the overall frequency of CF in the Caucasian population is 1/2500—that is, 1 affected child per 2500. (Assume the population meets the Hardy-Weinberg assumptions.)

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

Since the parent are normal; Let assume that their trait is Pp

The affected sister  will be recessive in nature, so the trait will be pp

Now, the husband who is the groom will be a carrier with a probability of 2/3 since her sister is affected.

Also, the wife will be carrying a heterozygous trait since she is normal as well.

However, using Hardy-Weinberg assumption:

[tex]q^2 = \dfrac{1}{2500}= 0.0004[/tex]

[tex]q = \sqrt{0.0004}[/tex]

q = 0.02

Recall that:

[tex]p+q =1 \\ p = 1 - q \\p = 1 - 0.02 \\p = 0.98\\[/tex]

Thus, [tex]p^2 = (0.98)^2[/tex]

[tex]p^2 = 0.9604[/tex]

[tex]2pq = 2 \times 0.98 \times 0.022[/tex]

2pq = 0.0392

Finally, the required probability that there will be an affected offspring amongst the family is:

[tex]= \dfrac{1}{4} \times \dfrac{2}{3} \times 0.0392[/tex]

[tex]= \dfrac{1}{153}[/tex]

Choose one of the following scenarios and answer the questions provided. Support your answers using scientific reasoning and discussing possible impacts to individuals, society, and the environment. Be sure to also discuss any medical or ethical issues that may apply. (10 points)
Scenario 1:

Genetic engineering can be used to create more productive strains of farm animals. By adding genes to an animal's DNA, the animal can be made to produce milk or meat containing vital nutrients that would not be found naturally in those products. This provides a greater amount of nutrients per serving of milk or meat.

Do you think that this type of genetic engineering should be pursued? Explain your answer. (5 points)

What are some possible impacts (positive and negative) of this type of genetic engineering on individuals, society, and the environment? (5 points)

Scenario 2:

In the future, doctors may be able to evaluate your DNA to check for genetic markers related to specific medical conditions or harmful reactions to medications. Your personalized genetic profile could be kept on record and referred to in order to develop personal medical treatment based on your unique DNA sequencing. Scientists have found that just small variations in a specific section of your DNA can help determine how well some medications can work for you or if they would be beneficial at all.

Scenario 2:
Question 1:
I would want to have my DNA profile kept in a medical record for doctors to see, because if anything ever happens to me, and they need a reading of my DNA they have it available.
Question 2:
There are definitely pros and cons for having tests done and referring to DNA sequences when trying to refer to a patient's medical treatment. A pro would be that doing this it gives a lot of information about your DNA, and it provides helpful information so if doctors ever needed to perform treatment, that would be a good source for them to go too. A con would be if you ever have a treatment done, and scientists refer to your DNA sequence and proscribe medicine, they won't know how you will react to the medicine, and if it will work.
Question 3:
Having this technology now will definitely help us pin-point any genetic diseases in individuals, because of the copies of their DNA.

Answer:

i tried my best (so many questions on scenario 2)

Explanation:

scenario 1: there are many positive and negative possible impacts that come with genetic engineering. A very negative outcome could come from just one mistake.  But if there was a way to ensure that nothing could go wrong than the outcome would be an healthy new meat or milk that's packed with nutrients.

scenario 2:  I think if this was a real thing i would be completely for it. If a person was to get their DNA checked then doctors would be able to prescribe a medication that would fit you. this could also prevent any allergic reactions to and medications or treatments.

I personally would want my DNA profile kept on record so that i can be treated with the right medications for me.
