For this question on genetically modified organisms, please…
For this question on genetically modified organisms, please pick ONLY ONE of the following questions to answer. I.e., you have a choice of which you would prefer to answer, so pick the one you’re more comfortable with. Please do not answer them all as I will only grade the first (and hopefully only!) one you answer! Please use full & complete sentences in your answer – Option #1: Describe the process of using a bacterial plasmid in genetic engineering. Clearly explain the steps that would be needed to create a GMO. —or— Option #2: What information we can provide to our friends and family about GMOs who may be concerned about their effect on the environment and risks of use? Provide at least 2 truths about GMOs —or— Option #3: In the pGLO transformation experiment, E. coli is given a gene from a jellyfish that allows it to produce green fluorescent protein (GFP). How is it possible for E. coli, a prokaryote, to produce a functional protein that is normally made by a eukaryotic organism? What insight does this give us about the processes of transcription and translation across domains? Explain your answer. Copyright 2025 by Edmonds College Department of Biology. All rights reserved.
