CHAPTER 5
ReplyDeleteYes I would give the police a sample of the hair because that should be very accurate and narrow it down to the suspect and who the suspect is.
2. List 3 ways in which DNA fingerprints have been used:
To track criminals
Identify murder victims
To identify soldiers killed in combat
3. DNA samples can give a lot of information and the person might also give a DNA sample so that they won't look guilty.
4.The courts might throw out the evidence because the case was already solved and the murdered was found already. Keeping the DNA could violate someone's privacy.
5. No but yes DNA can violate someone's privacy because DNA test can give more information that a fingerprint can. The FBI or the people working on the case should be responsible for storing someone's DNA so that way it can be kept in a more safe place.
CHAPTER 6
1. If you were Elsa and John, would you use the hormone on the cows? Why or why not?
No i wouldn't because I would be messing with the natural balance of nature and something could go terribly wrong with this.
2. What kinds of things are being produced by biotech labs? (List at least 3)
There are selective breeding, transgenic plants, and foods that contain vaccines.
3.Why do animal rights activists object to using BGH on cows?
They believe in animals living freely and without human chemicals. BGH messes with the natrual flow of things.
4. Why would some people thing that biotech engineers are "playing God"? Do you think this is true? They messing with the natural flow of things. Yes I do believe this is true. Patience is a virtue and I believe that everything will come to you if you work for it and have patience and you will be rewarded.
Chapter 6 Vocabulary
genetic engineering- genetic composition by artificial means
selective breeding-humans use animal breeding and plant breeding to selectively develop particular phenotype traits
transgenic- denoting an organism that contains genetic material that has been artificially introduced.
Chapter 7
Why would Dr Lu feel that one Rico and Tim should be treated differently?
She would feel that way because Tim didn't have all the necessary hormones needed vs. Rico who has inherited his height from both his parents.
2.Do you think both boys should receive the hormone or just one (or even neither)? Defend your position.
I believe that only Tim should receive the hormone. He wasn't able to get all the proper hormones he needed so now would be a great chance for him.
3. Why is the term "eugenics" controversial?
Because eugenic ideas often have been used by people to claim that they are better than others.
.Chapter vocabulary
gene therapy: Treating disorders by altering genes.
germ-line therapy: Treatment that could change the genes you pass on to your children.
