DNA is the blueprint not only for the organism but for all the parts of the cell. How does DNA dictate the functions of a particular cell (by the production of proteins)? How does a cell produce proteins? DNA is a linear code of ...
Give an example of how editing the genomic material of a living organism can be beneficial. What ethical considerations need to be made regarding this application? What are the benefits of biotechnology in agriculture? Why is replication important to consider when designing an experimen...
How are plasmids used in genetic engineering to transfer genes from one organism to another? Determine if the following enzyme is needed to make a recombinant DNA molecule: Peptidyl transferase. If so, what is its function in the process?
Cloning is the scientific process in which genetically identical offspring are produced from a mature individual. These offspring will possess DNA that is identical or nearly identical to the parent. Though this occurs naturally in the wild as a resu...
Explain how this inaccuracy might affect the organism. Describe the basic process of DNA repair. What protein is used to repair DNA damage/replication errors? How can DNA be modified? A change in DNA is called what? * A typo * A mutation * An error Which of these is not true about ...
The mechanisms by which a host cell defends itself from a pathogen or any foreign antigen that could affect the body are known as host defense mechanisms. They help the host to resist infection contributing to the body's immune system.
Are A, T, C, and G the genetic information? How is information to make proteins passed on through generations? DNA is the blueprint not only for the organism but for all the parts of the cell. How does DNA dictate the functions of a par...
