We need to prepare a stock solution of medium for your culture cells, which usually includes liquid salt solution and bovine serum. Our liquid salt solution is supplied in a 50X concentration, and we need to dilute it to 1X for use. We also need to add 75% fetal bovine serum for a final concentration of 15%. How would we make up 0.80 liters of this culture media using water as our solvent?

Prior to this video I had not been introduced to the concept of genetically modified babies or "designer babies". However, a concept that was brought up in comparison to the designer babies was IVF babies. This concept is more familiar to me and made me think of the great possibilities designer babies could bring, but at what cost? As IVF first became popular it seemed to be well known that was was a possibility for well-off financially families. Although designer babies may have benefits such as lowering the risk to develop hereditary diseases, I don't think this concept would be widely accessible to varying income levels.
The DNA profile of each individual is highly specific. The chances of two people having exactly the same
DNA profile is 30,000 million to 1 (except for identical twins). Given a set of DNA profiles in figure 3,
determine who the father is in a paternity case.
The Case:
Missis De Los Santos has a daughter who is in need of a liver transplant. Unfortunately, Mrs. De Los
Santos was ruled out as a donor. She was asked to ask if her daughter's father could also go for a check-up
for donor compatibility. Mrs. De Los Santos believes one of two men is her daughter's father. Who
between the men is the daughter's father? Determine who the father in the case is by comparing the DNA
profiles of the persons involved in the case. At the end of your profiling activity, you will know that you
have correctly figured out who the father is if you have accounted where all the DNA markers of the
daughter came from.

- Should he go ahead and enroll on the chance that he would receive the DNA vaccine and that it would be more effective than chemotherapy? Bruce and his parents moved to a semi-tropical region of the United States when he was about 3 years old. He loved to be outside year-round and swim, surf, snorkel, and play baseball. Bruce was fair-skinned, and in his childhood years, was sunburned quite often. In his teen years, he began using sunscreens, and although he never tanned very much, he did not have the painful sunburns of his younger years. After graduation from the local community college, Bruce wanted an outdoor job and was hired at a dive shop. He took people out to one of the local reefs to snorkel and scuba dive. He didnt give a second thought to sun exposure because he used sunscreen. His employer did not provide health insurance, so Bruce did not go for annual checkups, and tried to stay in good health. In his late 20s, Bruce was injured trying to keep a tourist from getting caught between the dive boat and the dock. He went to an internist, who treated his injury and told Bruce he was going to give him a complete physical exam. During the exam, the internist noticed a discolored patch of skin on Bruces back. She told him that she suspected Bruce had skin cancer and referred him to a dermatologist, who biopsied the patch. At a follow-up visit, Bruce was told that he had melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer. Further testing revealed that the melanoma had spread to his liver and his lungs. The dermatologist explained that treatment options at this stage are limited. The drugs available for chemotherapy have only temporary effects, and surgery is not effective for melanoma at this stage. The dermatologist recommended that Bruce consider entering a clinical trial that was testing a DNA vaccine for melanoma treatment. These vaccines deliver DNA encoding a gene expressed by the cancer cells to the immune system. This primes the immune system to respond by producing large quantities of antibodies that destroy melanoma cells wherever they occur in the body. A clinical trial using one such DNA vaccine was being conducted at a nearby medical center, and Bruce decided to participate. At the study clinic, Bruce learned that he would be in a Phase Ill trial, comparing the DNA vaccine against the standard treatment, which is chemotherapy, and that he would be randomly assigned to receive either the DNA vaccine or the chemotherapy. He was disappointed to learn this. He thought he would be receiving the DNA vaccine.arrow_forwardYou have 5 different newly discovered compounds and you want to know if these compounds can possibly cause cancer in humans using AMES test.

- Answer each of the following correctly. Designer Genes Work (This is all about Applications of Recombinant DNA). 1. What is Genetically Modified Organism (GMO)?(1-4 sentences only) 2. Illustrate your own Designer genes using this information:The Arctic apple is a fruit engineered to resist browning after being cut. Currently they are only available in the US – in golden, fuji and gala varieties – where they have been given Food and Drug Administration approval. If approved in Europe, they would have to be labelled as genetically modified. The manufacturers claim the main benefit is to help cut down on food waste. And based on the following: a. Identify a special trait. b. Identify a source organism. c. Identify a target organism d. Identify the modified/added trait.

Ignoring ethical and privacy concerns, Jeremy decides that since he has just learned about PCR in class, he will perform a paternity test on the side during his BISC 336 lab to determine whether Mike is related to the mailman or whether he is related to the Corner store clerk. He obtains hair samples from all three. He finds a 100% match between Mike and the mailman, what should he tell Mike? A. He found his long lost Father - the milkman B. Nothing, it is impolite to meddle is someone else's business C. Nothing he can't determine relatives using the information he has D. He found his long lost Father - the milkman E.
