WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!!Choose one of the following scenarios and answer the questions provided. Support your answers using scie

ntific reasoning and discussing possible impacts to individuals, society, and the environment. Be sure to also discuss any medical or ethical issues that may apply. (10 points) Scenario 1: Scientists have developed genetically engineered plants that are pest-resistant. By adding genes to the plant's DNA, they become toxic to insects (but not to plants or animals). This means that these plants may not need to be sprayed with pesticides to ward off the insects. Would you be willing to eat these genetically altered crops? Explain your answer. (5 points) What are some possible impacts (positive or negative) of this genetically engineered plant on the environment, society, and individuals? (5 points) Scenario 2: Jan's sister and mother have both had breast cancer. She is wondering if she should undergo genetic testing to check for a mutation of the BRCA1 gene. A mutation in the BRCA1 gene is commonly associated with, but not guaranteed to cause, breast cancer. The presence of a mutation increases a patient's chances of getting breast cancer to about 85 percent, compared to a 13 percent risk in the general population. Costs may vary, but most labs charge patients or their insurance companies less than $3,000 to sequence the BRCA1 to look for mutations. Do you think that Jan should undergo genetic sequencing? Explain your answer. (2 points) What are potential pros and cons of having such tests done? (5 points) Describe how the availability of genetic sequencing can affect the frequency of genetic diseases in individuals and populations. (3 points)

Answer:  I pick scenario one

Explanation:

I think I would eat the plant since it was proven to be Non-toxic for humans. But this might affect the environment. Insects can't eat these kind of plant which may bring a shortage of food to them. Insects may also be main food for many animals and if the insects die, the animals might not get much food. This is also same for bees. If the bees don't get their nectar they might die and if they don't pick up pollen and transport it the flowers and plant's might also die, since there is no reproducing going on flowers and plant would not thrive. This plant would be okay for human but this might affect the environment badly.

For a science fair project, two students decided to repeat the Hershey and Chase experiment, with modifications. They decided to
umka21 [38]

Answer is (E) : Amino acids (and thus proteins) also have nitrogen atoms; thus, the radioactivity would not distinguish between DNA and proteins.

Let me explain you why. Hershey and Chase conducted their experiment to show what is the genetic material that passes from one generation to another generation. Is it protein or DNA? For explaining this, they allowed the virus to grow in the presence of two different radio active elements.

In one set they grew viruses in the presence of P-32 radio-active element  

In another set they grew viruses in the presence of S-35 radio active element.

The reason why they choose these two radio-active element was, phosphorus is present in DNA but not in proteins and similarly sulphur is found in proteins but not DNA.

These viruses were allowed to infect bacteria and the later was observed to be radio-actively labelled with P-32 but not S-35. This clearly showed that DNA is the genetic material which was passed from virus to bacteria.  

Now if you choose Nitrogen for labeling, it won't help you in getting any conclusion since nitrogen is present in both proteins and DNA.

In familial hypercholesterolemia, individuals homozygous for the allele causing the disorder completely lack receptors on liver
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is - incomplete dominance.

Explanation:

A inheritance pattern that is characterized by pattern in which the one allele is not completely dominant over the its recessive variant of the allele and due to its incomplete dominance a third phenotype expressed over, termed as the incomplete dominance.

In the case of the familial hypercholesterlemia, it is genetic disorder in which the individual lacks the receptors on liver cells remove cholesterol from the blood. This condition occur in the homozygous allele case. In normal people have receptors normal while in heterozygous condition individual have half of the total receptors.

Thus, it is the case of incomplete dominance.
