Biotechnology

Many topics in biotechnology have ethical dilemmas! Let's look!

An ethical dilemma is the choice between two options, neither of which is a perfect solution to the problem.

Watch for ethical dilemmas!

Biotechnology

What is it? A process to make copies of organisms

Animal Cloning

Stem Cells

What is it? a “blank” cell. During development the stem cells become specialized.

What is it? a gene editing tool

CRISPR

What is it? A food that has had its DNA altered to "improve" for humans.

Genetically Modified Foods

What is it? DNA testing to help people identify relatives, health risks, and solve crimes.

GENEALOGY TESTING

A detective is investigating a cold case. The felon was scratched by his victim and some of his skin cells were found under the victim's finger nails. A DNA test was performed but the suspect wasn't in the police's data base. 12 years later a women submits her DNA to Ancestry.com and allows police to add it to their data base. Her DNA shows close relation to the felon in the murder case. Police get permission to gather DNA from 3 of the women's family members to help positively identify the felon. Here are the results. Select the suspect that positively matches the felon from the crime.

The first column shows the DNA profile of a male cat. Which kitten is most likely the descendent of this male cat?

This person's DNA does not closely match that of the felons. Try again

This person's DNA does not closely match that of the felons. Try again

While this kitten's profile is similar, there is one more similar

This is the male cat's DNA profile. Which kitten is his offspring?

While this kitten's profile is similar, there is one more similar

This is the felon's DNA left at the crime scene 12 years ago. Which suspect DNA matches?
