Immune cells have been genetically modified to treat cancer. Stem cells, as well as other cells in tissues and organs in the hum

an body, have been genetically engineered. For example, transgenes could be developed and delivered into pancreatic cells, to express insulin. If these transgenes were inserted into the genome of pancreas, those cells could become fully functional insulin producing cells as a cure for diabetes. This type of an approach to genetic modification is known as?

Answer:

Gene therapy

Explanation:

Gene therapy is designed to introduce and infuse genetic material into cells to compensate for abnormal genes or make new proteins that are beneficial to the host. Gene therapy introduces normal copy of a gene to replace and restore damage genes that resulted from mutations, this process in turn bring back the original function of the particular protein and restores it's functioning.

QUESTION 31 Chipmunk mitochondrial DNA was fingerprinted using the single primer amplified region technique (SPAR) and the PCR r
natima [27]

Answer:

It depends on the size of the amplified DNA fragments (for example for SPAR markers consisting of 200 bp in length >> 1600 / 200 = 8)

Explanation:

The PCR based single primer amplification reaction (SPAR) methods are tools for detecting genetic diversity by using DNA markers such as Simple Sequence Repeats (ISSRs), Minisatellite DNA regions (DAMDs) and Random Amplified Polymorphic DNAs (RAPDs), which can be used alone or combined with each other. In the last years, the SPAR methods have gained attention in the scientific community because they are cost-effective and highly effective for the detection of both intraspecific and interspecific genetic variation. In the SPAR methods, the size of the bands will depend on the length of the amplified DNA fragments.

The use of DDT as a pesticide is an example of how new technology can have favorable and dangerous long-term outcomes. How does
kipiarov [429]

The right answer is Scientists should conduct long-term studies of DNA technology to determine the consequences.

DDT is a potent insecticide: it kills by opening the sodium channels of insect neurons, destroying them instantly, leading to spasms and then death. Some genetic mutations acting on the sodium channels can make some insects resistant to DDT and other insecticides working on the same principle.

The US Environmental Protection Agency has categorized DDT into the B2 class, that is, potential carcinogen for humans. This supports the fact that the insecticide acts on human DNA.

Shkiper50 [21]
Low molecular weight heparin is associated with less thrombocytopenia than the normal heparin. Low molecular heparin also prevent unnecessary bleeding since it is not as strong as the normal heparin. Low molecular weight heparin are derived from smaller polysaccharide chain and their effect is more predictable than the normally unfractionated heparin. It also help treat deep venous thrombosis, which is commonly associated with prolonged sitting and standing. It is also used to treat pulmonary embolism especially the more massive one. However, care must be observe in using it since some patients elicit allergic responses to it.
