Conclusion Questions 3.1.6

Conclusion Questions: E-Coli

1. The ethical considerations in genetic engineering are the concerns of natural life. Some people argue that its right and we shouldnt mess with it. This term is also called bioethics. 2. Some benefits would be that we can make peoples lifespan lengthen by creating things to make life more efficient and so that we also can have things to make drastic situations easier to solve 3. It grows fast and shows the growth of bacterial colonies very clearly when the bacterial colonies split and make growth more visible. 4. The three genes found are AmpR, araC, and Bla, GFP- Green fluorescent protein, araC regulates the expression of GFP. 5. The bacteria that have the plasmid will glow fluorescent green whereas the bacteria without the plasmid will grow but the will not glow fluorescent green. 6. The plasmid bacteria will stay glowing green as long as the UV light is shined on it. 7. Heat shocking makes the cell wall more penetrable to the entry of the plasmid and sugar. 8. It helps the insertion by shocking the bacteria and making the bacteria reproduce another copy with the plasmid in it.

3.1.7 Conclusion Questions

Conclusion Questions: Designer Genes

1. Gene expression inside of a particular cell leading to transcription, with the production of massager RNA, and the subsequent translation of mRNA. 2. The Operon is a functioning unit of genomic control single regulatory signal or promoter. DNA, it can

3. The current applications of recombinant DNA are the new type of engineered insulin.

4. The ethical problem is that were messing with natural life. Which is looked down upon by most humans, because they think that its playing god or cheating death.

5. Theres a lot of things that can go wrong and you wont see them until the experiment is over.
