BIOL 304 EXAM 1 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
WITH VERIFIED SOLUTIONS 100% CORRECT
3 Examples of traditional products derived from biotechnology
- correct answer- leavened bread, food preservation, and
cheese
According to religious practitioners, ethics and the spirit
separable? - correct answer- According to religious
practitioners ethics and the spirit are no separable because
religion is what educates the spirit to be ethical
Alex Jeffries - correct answer- first to develop the RFLP
test
Antibiotic resistance - correct answer- resistance to
antibiotics
B. McClintock - correct answer- • discovered jumping
genes, transposable elements which activates elements when it
moves around
• Transposable elements in DNA cut themselves out and
inserted in different places
,• continued doing research and by the 1970s transposable
elements were verified by other scientists and was vindicated in
1983 being awarded the nobel prize
Backfire principle - correct answer- integration of ethics
with concept of a spirit and the conflict between belief vs. fact,
religion vs. science, and ethical perceptions vs. science; conflicts
cause clashes and revolution which leads to the backfire; keeps
society moral by fear of adverse consequences now and in
afterlife; backfire can occur undeservedly to creative people; like
(renegades) who break norms and bring new truths (revolutions)
and can unfairly experience backfire because new truths
challenge existing beliefs and they get pushback
Bio-technophobia - correct answer- result of fear
influencing the process step in the CONTENT + PROCESS =
ETHICAL MEANING framework for ethical decisions in
biotechnology
Biotechnology - correct answer- takes molecule and
turns it into product; producing practical applications that not
only solve problems but also generate financial revenue
BRCA Genes - correct answer- highly correlate with the
occurrence of breast and ovarian cancers
, cDNA - correct answer- cDNA is a genetic library which
uses reverse transcriptase (Viral origin) to make a DNA copy of
intron-less mRNA; cDNA only has protein coding regions of
genes and can be expressed in non-pathogenic bacteria
Copernicus - correct answer- plants revolved around
sun. solar systems exist -> he was demonaized, ostracized
Darwin - correct answer- Evolution "Origin of Species";
first major divide btwn. bioscience, spirituality, and religion
Define molecular diagnostics and their applications - correct
answer- powerful, accurate tools used to detect the
presence of a specific molecule (DNA, RNA, protein, other
compounds) in complex mixtures that serve to identify
organisms or deviations from a normal state- they have
molecular signatures and involve a visualization step
difference between recombinant human insulin and insulin
isolated from the human pancreas - correct answer-
insulin isolated from the human pancreas has introns but the
insulin from recombinant human insulin does not have introns
