Textbook Activity 9 sec 2 rec
1. Describe briefly how genetic engineering has improved agricultural crops.
It has allowed humans to create better crops, or crops with more desirable characteristics (for example, frost resistant strawberries, seedless watermelons and oranges, combinations of fruits like tangelos and It increases yield and makes crops more resistant to parasites, harsh weather, and disease.
2. Explain how biotechnology research has affected modern life.
Tools such as genetic engineering, nanotechnology, and computer models have expanded the potential applications of biological research.
3. Describe the biological features that are considered to be unique to an individual’s identity.
Biological features that are considered to be unique to an individual’s identity is biological factors such as fingerprints, iris patterns, and genetic material are unique.
4. State an example of an ethical issue that is brought up by advances in biotechnology. An example of an ethical issue is people worry that putting genetically engineered organisms into an ecosystem could harm the environment.
CRITICAL THINKING
5. Applying Information: Explain how crime investigators use biometrics to determine who is and who is not the perpetrator of a crime.
How crime investigators use biometrics to determine who is and who is not the perpetrator of a crime is they a RFLP analysis and DNA fragments are separated by gel electrophoresis.
6. Applying Information: Why should both individuals and society address ethical concerns? Explain
Individuals and Society should address ethical issues because both sides raise good points and whenever scientists use Biotechnology, they need to make sure it’s okay with everyone else and to be very careful so no thing apocalyptic happens.
