ETHC 210 EXAM 7
Question 1
3 out of 3 points
In 2013 what genetics testing company came under
scrutiny for allegedly incorporating eugenic ideals by
promoting the idea of prescreening their egg and sperm
donor DNA for genetic defects so customers could avoid
those samples?
Selected 23 and
Answer: Me
Question 2
3 out of 3 points
EPO is a hormone which naturally increases the number
of red blood cells in the blood.
Selected Tru
Answer: e
Question 3
3 out of 3 points
Microarray’s are used by DNA sequencing companies
like 23 and Me to provide the customer with information
about a predetermined set of genes or DNA sequences
which they may possess because they bind to
corresponding genes on the microarray.
Selected Tru
Answer: e
Question 4
3 out of 3 points
Many of the early set-backs and deaths in the use of
gene therapy involved;
Selected An overwhelming immune response to the
Answer: viral vectors
, Question 5
3 out of 3 points
To prepare genes which will be inserted into a patient
for gene therapy which of the following steps must be
done using current technology?
Selected The “new” or “healthy” gene must be amplified in
Answers: number using PCR (polymerase chain reaction)
The new gene must be placed into a vector, a
piece of DNA which will carry the new gene.
The vector DNA is often cut with restriction
enzymes which are appropriately called molecular
scissors
Question 6
3 out of 3 points
The end result of translation is an amino acid chain
which folds into a protein.
Selected Tru
Answer: e
Question 7

Liposomes can also be used as vectors for gene therapy.
They are;
Selected Artificial membranes made of lipids which can
Answers: enclose the gene and deliver it to the new location
in the patient
