Question 17
Bacteria were some of the first organisms to be genetically modified because they have a relatively small genome and reproduce quickly. All the following are reasons to study and modify a bacterial cell's genome for beneficial uses except

a
to determine genes that code for toxins against other bacterial cells to make antibiotics from these toxins.
b
to use bacteria cells as a vector to add genes that code for useful products.
c
to modify bacteria into an infectious form that has the ability to mutate quickly.
d
to determine the genes that code for proteins such as those used to produce insulin in large amounts.

Question 21
Many people with diabetes require insulin to stay alive. Which best explains why the gene for human insulin is transferred into a bacterium for mass production?

Amoeba Sisters GIFs - Science with The Amoeba Sisters

a
The bacterium will produce insulin at a fast rate by incorporating the gene into its own genetic code.
b
The bacterium will quickly destroy the insulin gene and create a replacement, which is free of mutations.
c
The bacterium will quickly repair the insulin gene, which allows it to be reinserted into a human.
d
The bacterium will produce insulin at a fast rate as an antibody response in reaction to the foreign gene.

bacterial DNA on the hands of criminals may provide a clue as to where that person was when the crime was committed.
b
criminals leave DNA samples behind them when they touch an object at a crime scene.
c
DNA found on murder weapons is easy to identify.
d
DNA analysis allows investigators to distinguish body cells of different individuals, who are unlikely to have the same DNA.

Answer 1

I can’t determine Q16 without the diagram — please upload the image or describe how W, X and Y change the sequence (e.g., which bases are added, removed, or replaced).

Answers for Q17–Q25:
17. C — to modify bacteria into an infectious form that mutates quickly (not a beneficial reason)
18. A — nucleus (viruses do not have nuclei)
19. B — photosynthesis
20. A — amino acids
21. A — the bacterium will produce insulin quickly by using the inserted gene
22. B — insulin and growth hormones
23. D — DNA analysis distinguishes individuals because their DNA is unlikely to be the same
24. C — “All cells arise spontaneously” (this is not part of cell theory)
25. C — deletion; yes (it causes a frameshift)
