Unit 18a DNA fingerprinting and genetic engineering
1. KEY CONCEPT DNA fingerprints identify people at the molecular level.
2. A DNA fingerprint is a type of restriction map. DNA fingerprints are based on parts of an individual’s DNA that can by used for identification. based on noncoding regions of DNA noncoding regions have repeating DNA sequences number of repeats differs between people Gel electrophoresis separates the sequences into “bands”
3. (mother) (child 1) (child 2) (father) DNA fingerprinting is used for identification. DNA fingerprinting depends on the probability of a match. Many people have thesame number ofrepeats in a certainregion of DNA. The probability that two people share identicalnumbers of repeats inseveral locations isvery small.
10. Entire organisms can be cloned. A clone is a genetically identical copy of a gene or of an organism. If you could clone your favorite pet, would you? Why or why not?
23. (bacterial DNA) New genes can be added to an organism’s DNA. Genetic engineering involves changing an organism’s DNA to give it new traits. What genes would you like to incorporate into your favorite pet? Genetic engineering is based on the use of recombinant DNA. Recombinant DNA contains genes from more than one organism.
40. True or False? Sometimes, scientific knowledge leads to ethical dilemmas. Correct Answer = True A deontologist would likely believe lying is always wrong. Correct Answer =
41. True or False? Sometimes, scientific knowledge leads to ethical dilemmas. Correct Answer = True A deontologist would likely believe lying is always wrong. Correct Answer = True In an ethical debate, if consensus is reached, the majority win as in a vote. Correct Answer =
42. True or False? Sometimes, scientific knowledge leads to ethical dilemmas. Correct Answer = True A deontologist would likely believe lying is always wrong. Correct Answer = True In an ethical debate, if consensus is reached, the majority win as in a vote. Correct Answer = False Bias is not an issue on the World Wide Web. Correct Answer =
43. True or False? Sometimes, scientific knowledge leads to ethical dilemmas. Correct Answer = True A deontologist would likely believe lying is always wrong. Correct Answer = True In an ethical debate, if consensus is reached, the majority win as in a vote. Correct Answer = False Bias is not an issue on the World Wide Web. Correct Answer = False A consequentialist would be likely to use a cost-benefit analysis. Correct Answer =

45. Review DNA fingerprinting is used for identification and determining relationship A clone is a genetically identical copy of a gene or of an organism – cloning occurs in nature Cloning has potential benefits and raises concerns Genetic engineering involves changing an organism’s DNA to give it new traits. A transgenic organism has one or more genes from another organism inserted into its genome Transgenic organisms are already being used both in agriculture and scientific studies Transgenics has potential benefits and raises concerns
