Question
Answer
Genetic engineering manipulates gene products at the level of: A.the Protein B Amino Acid C. DNA D. RNA   C. DNA Biotechnology that manipulates genetic material altering DNA of an organism to supress or enhance the activities of its own genes and/or genes of different species. Organisms that harbor DNA are transgenic and their DNA is recombinant DNA  
🗑
A molecule that consists of a piece of DNA from one organism combined with the DNA from member of another species is called: A. Restricted DNA B. Recombinant DNA C. Bioengineered DNA D. Mutant DNA   B. Recombinant DNA p. 376  
🗑
In 1975, scientists convened in Asilomar California and did what?   Drew up guidelines to regulate recombinant DNA technology p.379  
🗑
Proteins isolated from bacteria that catalyze specific cleavage of DNA are: A. Restrictive enzymes B. Bacteriophage enzymes C. Plasmids   A. RESTRICTION ENZYMES  
🗑
Restriction enzymes cut DNA at: A. The sequence CTGGTC only B. A site specific for each enzyme C. Specific short methylated sequences   B. SITE SPECIFIC FOR EACH ENZYME A natural function of enzymes is to protect bacteria by cutting DNA of infected viruses.-Methyl groups shield DNA from restriction enzymes.-Make sticky ends in DNA by cutting at specific sequences-GAATTC cut between G&A  
🗑
A small circular DNA molecule used as a vector to transmit foreign DNA is a: A. Plasmid B. Prion C. Liposome   A. Plasmid p.380  
🗑
Bacteriophages can be used as a vector in recombinant DNA experiments because they:   C. Insert their genetic material into bacteria Bacteriophages can be vectors. They transport DNA but don't cause disease.....Virus that infect bacteria  
🗑
Biotechnology is possible because the genetic code is universal. True or False   TRUE Creating transgenetic organisms is possible because all life uses the same genetic code. p376  
🗑
The first drug produced using recombinant DNA technology was: A. insulin B. Streptokinase C. TPA D. EPO   A. insulin Drugs are pure, human versions of protein, HGH, insulin, FSH and clotting factors. First great use-Drug invented was insulin in 1982. Humulin made by E. Coli, interferon B-1b.  
🗑
A drug produced using recombinant DNA technology that is used illegally by atletes is: A. insulin B. Streptokinase C. TPA D. EPO   D. EPO (erythropoietin)  
🗑
True or False? Every gene that is sequenced can be patented?   FALSE Because of the flood of applications a DNA sequence alone doesnt get patent protection p 377  
🗑
A multicellular organism that carries a specific genetic change in each cell because of an intervention at the fertilized egg stage is a: A. Transversion B. Transisition C. Transgenic   C. Transgeneic  
🗑
Tiny fat bubbles used to deliver genes are: A. Electropores B. phosholipids C. liposomes   C. liposomes p 385  
🗑
Which of these use a tiny needle to inject DNA into cells (microinjection)? A. Electrophoresis B. Microinjection C. Particle bombardment   MICROINJECTION p.386  
🗑
To create a transgenic organism: A. Introduce foreign DNA into a gamete or fertilized ovum B. Inject a gene of interest into somatic cells C. Inject a gene of interest into several somatic cells   A. Introduce foreign DNA into a gamete or fertilized ovum.  
🗑
Which of these are used to introduce DNA into animal cells: A. Liposomes B. Electroporation C. Microinjection D. Particle bombardment E. All of these   E. ALL OF THESE p. 385-386 lists these  
🗑
Which of these would NOT be used to introduce DNA in animal cells? a. Liposomes B. Electroporation C. Microinjection D. Ti plasmid   D. Ti Plasmid Ti is a plant vector (tumor inducing) Plants, Ti causes tumor like growths. Ti mixed with bt can produce corn which makes its own pesticide. 2/3 all corn in the USA.  
🗑
Transgenic organisms carry the transgene in: A. Every Cell B. Gametes only C. Somatic cells only D. The cell that originally gets it   A. EVERY CELL  
🗑
BIOREMEDIATION USES BACTERIA OR PLANTS TO DETOXIFY POLLUTANT A. TRUE B. FALSE   A. TRUE p. 386  
🗑
DNA that is not associated with protein is called: A. Recombinant DNA B. Naked DNA C. CDNA D. Digested DNA   B. Naked DNA  
🗑
The Ti plasmid is used to genetically engineer: A. Bacteria B. Fungi C. Plants D. Animal   Hint- if you see Ti think Plants. C. PLANTS  
🗑
TRANSGENIC PHARMING involves using _______ to produce recombinant proteins in _____   Cows, Milk p. 385  
🗑
Bt toxin producing plants are resistant to: A. fungal pathogens B. Bacterial patholgens C. Herbicides D. Insect pests   INSECT PESTS Potato/Beetles also have a Ti pesticde or insecticide gene. Ti plasmids and bacillus Thuringiensis bt produce corns with pesticides.  
🗑
Nonheritable gene therapy is perfprmed on________ cells. A. Germline B. Somatic C. Constitutional   B. SOMATIC I THINK this is the manipulation of gene expression in cells that will affect the patient but they can't pass it to their children. It can alter DNA of a fertilized egg, It's nonheritable! Corrects only defective/broken cells  
🗑
A bone marrow transplant is an example of: A. Germline (heritable) B. All heritable gene therapies C. Somatic gene therapy D. In Vitro fertilization   SOMATIC GENE THERAPY  
🗑
Which is an example of GERMLINE THERAPY?   Transgenic plant or animals aka modified plants and animals! Introduces genetic change into sperm/fertilized egg. It's heritable, Alters DNA of the fert. egg, Used to pre-treat embryo and used to treat germ cells.  
🗑
Which cell type in the human body would not be a direct target for gene therapy? Can you guess why? A. Liver cells B. Red Blood Cells C. skin cells D Muscle cells   RED BLOOD CELLS- dont have a nucleus so gene therapy probably isn't good.  
🗑
Muscle is a good target for gene therapy because:   It is an abundant tissue with a rich blood supply. ( Good site for somatic gene therapy my guess)  
🗑
