1. How are bacteria used in genetic engineering to produce medicine for people? 2. How is recombinant DNA technology used in medicine?
1) One of the first studies extracted all the DNA from a biofilm in an acid mine drainage in northern California in 2004. Then cloned the DNA in E. coli, sequenced all of the cloned fragments and then attempted to reconstruct the genomes of the different individuals in the population. This approach is an example of what? -Transcriptomics -Genomics -Metatranscriptomics -Metagenomics -Proteomics
1. How may recombinant DNA molecules be introduced into human cells? a. by splicing the needed genes into a mammalian chromosome using restriction enzymes. b. by adding plasmids to the mammalian cells. c. by using engineered viruses as vectors. d. by using a gene gun. 2. If someone is accused of a crime, investigators can collect his or her DNA to compare the DNA of the cells found at the crime scene. To collect human DNA, investigators often swab the inside of person’s cheek. Just a few human cheek cells contain enough material to perform PCR. In a cell, the nucleus and mitochondria contain DNA that is the starting material for PCR. Identify the 4 components needed to start a PCR reaction (equipment not included)

1.Discuss how PCR may be used for the detection of disease-causing pathogens in a population during the COVID Pandemic. For example: it may be used to check if a patient has a COVID virus infection. 2. Discuss how the cloning and expression of certain genes allows for massive production of the desired product. For Example: the cloning and expression of insulin in bacteria allows for the mass production of this necessary protein for use by diabetic patients.
