Some scientists are concerned that genetic engineering allows
humans to tamper with evolution. Discuss some of the advantages and
disadvantages of recombinant DNA technology.
Through careful genetic engineering, you have produced
what you call the Super Tree – a tree that can absorb extraordinary
amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2), thereby helping to slow
the process of global warming. Past research has shown that a
regular tree absorbs 48 pounds of (CO2) per year but you
find that in a random sample of 36 of your own trees, the average
amount of CO2 absorbed is 54.3 pounds with a standard
deviation of 18. Using an...
describe some potential negative impacts of genetic engineering.
Why is there so much controversy surrounding this field? What are
some ethical issues associated with the production of genetically
engineered organisms? Please provide a scientific rationale for
your response.
List the major areas where genetic engineering is being used in
today's world. Give several examples for each area. List several
products that were produced via recombinant DNA technology.
Bio Labs is a genetic engineering firm manufacturing a variety
of gene-spliced, agricultural-based seed products. The firm has
five separate laboratories producing different product lines. Each
lab is treated as a profit center and all five labs are located in
the same facility. The wheat seed lab and corn seed lab manufacture
two of the five product lines. These two labs are located next to
each other and are of roughly equal size in terms of sales. The two
departments...
