The answer is A. When a potent drug is discovered, it has to undergo animal and human trials to test it ADMET (Absorption, Distribution Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity) properties. Using tissue cultures to test drugs, such as cancer drugs, prevents the incidence of subjecting humans to the unknown adverse effects of the drugs before the drugs are determined to be safe for use.
Most of the downsides of recombinant DNA technology are ethical in nature. Some people feel that recombinant DNA technology goes against the laws of nature, or against their religious beliefs, due to how much control this technology gives humans over the most basic buildings blocks of life.
Other ethical concerns also exist. Some people worry that if companies can pay scientists to patent, buy and sell genetic material, then genetic material could become an expensive commodity. Such a system might lead to people having their genetic information stolen and used without permission. It may sound odd, but such cases have already happened. In 1951, a scientist used unique cells stolen from a woman named Henrietta Lacks to create an important cell line (the HeLa cell line) which is still used in medical research today. Her family did not know about her involuntary donation until after her death, and never received compensation, but others have profited from the use of HeLa cells.
Many people worry about the safety of modifying food and medicines using recombinant DNA technology. Although genetically modified foods seem safe in multiple studies, it is easy to see why such fears exist.

Out of the following given choices;
<span>A.
</span>The mouse has a completely different DNA sequence
than the other mice.
<span>B.
</span> The
substituted nucleotide has the same directions as the original nucleotide.
<span>C.
</span>Substitutions in the nucleotides of a mouse's
DNA never affect their phenotypes.
<span>D.
</span>DNA sequences don't determine the color of a
mouse's fur.
The answer is B. Most probably, the nucleotide substitution did not translate to a change in the
amino acid sequence in the translated protein. As you may be aware, most amino
acids are coded by more than one codon. For example, Leucine is coded for by CTT, CTC, CTA, CTG, TTA, TTG.
Therefore, a substitution, that causes a change to either one of the sequences will not
change the amino acid.
