- Genetics of Neurological/Neuromuscular Disorders The genetic basis: what gene or genes are involved Environmental factors: external factors that make the underlying genetics more difficult to understand or manipulate A description of the scientific methods that are used to address the problem A discussion of social, political, and/or ethical factors that enhance or diminish our ability to deal with the genetic problem.arrow_forwardGenetic Engineering Terms Name: Draw a line to connect each pair of boxes DNA sequencing The use of an organism, or a component of an organism or other biological system, to make a product or process. DNA cloning The sequencing, analysis, and cutting-and-pasting of DNA A technique to make many copies of a specific DNA region in vitro (in a test tube rather than anorganism) Recombinant DNA Polymerase chain reaction A technique used.to separatÄ™ DNA fragments according to their size Gel electrophoresis DNA that is assembled out of fragments from multiple sources Biotechnology A molecular biology technique that makes many identical copies of a piece of DNA, such as a gene DNA technology The process of determining the sequence of nucleotides (As, Ts, Cs, and Gs) in a piece of DNA. ww tÄ°6111749/enetic-engineering-temsarrow_forwardTen example of Human protein in therapeutic genetic technology that have available in genetic engineering and their treatmentarrow_forward
- Do you think it is ethical (morals: right or wrong), safe, and helpful for scientists to continue with genetic engineering? Write a paragraph explaining two reasons to support and two to disagree with the practice of genetic engineering.arrow_forwardDiscuss the Genetically Modified Organism (Benefits and Risks)arrow_forwardDeine the term genomics.arrow_forward
- Define genetic engineering and biotechnology, and summarize theimportant purposes of these fields. Review the use of the termsgenome, chromosome, gene, DNA, and RNAarrow_forwardWhat are the pros and cons of genetic engineering. Give at least 3 each and share your opinions whether you are pro or against genetic engineering, and support these opinions with facts. Be sure that issues of biosafety are included in the discussion.arrow_forwardTo discuss: The value of genome projects.arrow_forward
