Topic:
Recombinant pharmaceuticals (for the production of insulin, human growth hormone or blood clotting factors)
Question
When or why is this genetic technology/process used? Who benefits from this genetic technology/process - and how?
Question:
Genetically modified animal that might be approved for human consumption is a super “muscly” pig made by the inactivation of the myostatin gene. During normal development, the myostatin protein prevents the overgrowth of muscles.
How would such a pig be achieved using CRISPR?
Why would it not considered the GMO?

- Topic: Recombinant pharmaceuticals (for the production of insulin, human growth hormone or blood clotting factors) Question What are the drawbacks/disadvantages/unknowns associated with this genetic process?arrow_forwardPCR Review: How are you able to target specific genes in PCR? What were some possible sources of error during your DNA Extraction and PCR experiments?arrow_forwardQ5. In lab 6, you will set up a PCR reaction to yield amplified DNA products of the rpo B(RNA polymerase B) and 16s rRNA genes. In lab 7, you will set up a sequencing reaction using about 40 ng of these PCR products that you will then add a sequencing primer to the sequencing reaction. If a sequencing reaction is set up with a 100-fold excess of primer to the PCR-amplified DNA product you want to sequence, calculate the number of sequencing primers you will need to add to this sequencing reaction. To perform this calculation, assume your 40 ng sample of double stranded DNA is 4,000 base-pairs (bp) long. Using these two variables of your PCR product [length (in bp) and amount (in g, grams)], you can calculate the number of DNA molecules being sequenced with two conversion factors using the formula below: The average weight of 1 bp is approximately ~650 (g/mole)/bp Avogadro’s number which is 6.02 X 1023 molecules/mole The easiest way to solve this problem is to figure out how much one…arrow_forward
