The student sets up the assay and analyzes the presence of the oncogene in normal and tumor issue samples (See data below). The student is disappointed to see that the potential oncogene is present at similar levels in both the normal and tumor tissue. Therefore, the student concludes that this gene is not an oncogene. Do you agree

When bacteria are consumed by macrophages, the macrophages give off chemokines that recruit other immune cells. The chemokines serve as ligands for G-protein coupled receptors. Which of the following is NOT true of G-PCRs? a. G-PCRs require GTP to activate a G-protein b. G-PCRs bind the ligand extra-cellularly and undergo an allosteric change c. The receptor is a G-protein d. The G-protein separates into multiple parts that can activate different pathways.
Cloning Genes Is a Multistep Process In cloning human DNA, why is it necessary to insert the DNA into a vector such as a bacterial plasmid?
Although it is well known that X-rays cause mutations, they are routinely used to diagnose medical problems, including potential tumors, broken bones, and dental cavities. Why is this done? What precautions need to be taken?
The first publications describing the successful production and intracellular replication of recombinant DNA appeared in the early 1970’s. Since then, there is a long list of breakthroughs achieved by recombinant DNA technology. But which one of the following are NOT on that list? Select more than one answer ifneeded. a) Recombinant Factor VIII protein for the treatment of hemophiliacs b) Positional cloning of over 100 human disease genes c) Bacteria producing human insulin for the treatment of diabetic patients d) Reproductive cloning of over a dozen humans
Bacteria are often the preferred hosts for genetic engineering projects by splicing in novel genes from eukaryotes into plasmids, which are moved into competent bacteria. For instance, the gene for human insulin was isolated and moved into a bacterium, which can now produce the much-needed chemical. Previously, type 1 diabetics had to rely on professionals that gathered insulin from human cadavers, cows, and pigs. In order for this feat of genetic engineering to occur, researchers had to start with an unspliced mRNA transcript for h insulin. Agree/Disagree? Explain your response.
