Biology (Holt)

(Marvins-Underground-K-12) #1

The diagram below shows two pieces of DNA
that have been cut with the same restriction
enzyme. Use the diagram and your knowledge
of science to answer questions 1–3.


1.What nucleotide sequence must the sticky
end labeled Bhave if it is to bond with the
sticky end labeled A?
A UGGCCU C ACCGGT
B TCCGGA D CTTAAG

2.What enzyme would have to be used to
produce recombinant DNA from these
two pieces?
F DNA polymerase H DNA ligase
GRNA polymerase J DNA helicase
3.If the restriction enzyme leaves comple-
mentary sequences on the ends of each
piece of DNA it cuts, what will the recombi-
nant DNA that results from these two
pieces consist of?
A One linear, double-stranded molecule
B One circular, double-stranded molecule
CTwo linear, single-stranded molecules
DTwo circular, single-stranded molecules

Critical Thinking



  1. Applying InformationHow is natural selec-
    tion affected by genetic engineering?

  2. Forming Reasoned OpinionsIn the United
    States, government regulations require
    researchers to contain experimental
    genetically engineered organisms inside
    a laboratory and to ensure that the
    organisms could not survive outside the
    laboratory. Why do you think these strict
    regulations are necessary?

  3. Distinguishing Fact from OpinionA judge
    presiding over a highly publicized murder
    trial dismissed the prosecution’s request to
    admit DNA fingerprints as evidence, call-
    ing it “unproven.” Do you agree with the
    judge? Explain your answer.

  4. Distinguishing Relevant InformationOrga-
    nize and videotape a class debate about the
    safety questions raised by the potential
    release of genetically engineered plants,
    bacteria, and animals into the environ-
    ment. Use library references and on-line
    databases to back up your arguments.


Alternative Assessment



  1. Finding InformationThe question of
    awarding patents on genetically engineered
    organisms arose when a microbiologist
    named Ananda Chakrabarty filed for a
    patent on a bacterium capable of digesting
    the components of crude oil. Use the media
    center or Internet resources to learn more.
    Find out about the bacterium that was engi-
    neered and the court battle for the right to
    obtain a patent for it. Prepare an oral report
    using graphics to summarize your findings.
    Present the report to your class.

  2. Analyzing DataPlant normal tomato
    seeds and seeds from a genetically engi-
    neered variety of tomato in separate labeled
    containers. Grow the plants side by side.
    Compare the number and quality of toma-
    toes produced by each plant. Create a poster
    that summarizes your findings. Present the
    report to your class.

  3. Career ConnectionGenetic Engineer
    Research the field of genetic engineering.
    Write a report that includes a job descrip-
    tion, training required, kinds of employers,
    growth prospects, and a starting salary.
