Which type of enzyme is routinely used in biotechnology to cut DNA into fragments?

Nuclear transplantation (somatic cell nuclear transfer) is a technique that requires multiple steps. Which of the following steps is nota part of this technique?
a. production of an enucleated egg (egg with the nucleus removed)

b. de-differentiated (re-programmed) somatic cell

c. fusion of a sperm cell with an egg cell

d. fusion of a de-differentiated somatic cell with an enucleated egg

McArdle Disease (glycogen storage disease 5) is caused by mutations in the phosphorylase enzyme in muscle. The symptoms are muscle cramps, pain, and fatigue during strenuous exercise. An ischemic exercise test is often used as part of the diagnostic process. This test measures lactate in the blood but is not always specific for McArdle. Explain why lactate might be a good diagnostic measurement for this disease and how its production is regulated in muscle in a normal person versus a McArdle patient

4) In 2011, researchers discovered bacterial cells possessing human genes, they found that more than 10% of a Neisseria gonorrhoeae population, the species responsible for gonorrhea, contained a human DNA fragment. This fragment was not found in other species of Neisseria. How might a bacterial cell have acquired human DNA? Explain

9) Describe pGLO plasmid genes and how we can prove that the transformation was successful         

10) On which of the plates would you expect to find bacteria most like the original non-transformed E. coli colonies you initially observed? Explain.

(10 Point) The Human Development Index (HDI) is a composite statistic of indicators, which are used to rank countries into four tiers of human development.
a. What are the main factors taken into consideration when constructing the new HDI (the sub-elements of the index)?

b. How is the new HDI calculated (the equation)? c. Following countries has HDI values as

Bangladesh 0.515; Canada 0.911;
Russian Federation 0.78; China 0.699;

Burkina Faso 0.343
What can you tell about their development level? Please consider cutoff points of new HDI for the four categories of human development achievements.

(b) AI often produces accurate results as it functions based on a set of programmed rules. As for human intelligence, there is usually a room for “human errors” as certain details may be missed at one point or the other. Justify in ten points how you can relate the statement to decision making algorithms.

(c) The human brain uses about 25watts while modern computers only generally use 2 watts in normal information processing. If this normality becomes the other way instead, give in five points what could be the reasons in each case of swap.

While we are still far from “Transcendence” -style artificial intelligence — like uploading human consciousness to software programs, at the rate we are going in technological innovations and in terms of the convergence between our noted three worlds ( the physical world, the virtual or digital world, and our very own intellectual world “inside our brain”), we could someday digitize the human brain, and reproduce cognitive intelligence and emotions, machines and computers that can totally replace human insight.

What are the pros and cons of this technological evolution and what kind of implications would this have on an individual and our society as whole?
