 Question 1

3 out of 3 points

In 2013 what genetics testing company came under

scrutiny for allegedly incorporating eugenic ideals by

promoting the idea of prescreening their egg and sperm

donor DNA for genetic defects so customers could avoid

those samples?

Selected

Answer:

23 and

Me

 Question 2

3 out of 3 points

EPO is a hormone which naturally increases the number

of red blood cells in the blood.

Selected

Answer:

Tru

e

 Question 3

3 out of 3 points

Microarray’s are used by DNA sequencing companies

like 23 and Me to provide the customer with information

about a predetermined set of genes or DNA sequences

which they may possess because they bind to

corresponding genes on the microarray.

Selected

Answer:

Tru

e

 Question 4

3 out of 3 points

Many of the early set-backs and deaths in the use of

gene therapy involved;

Selected

Answer:

An overwhelming immune response to the

Selected

Answers:

The “new” or “healthy” gene must be amplified in

number using PCR (polymerase chain reaction)

The new gene must be placed into a vector, a

They are;

Selected

Answers:

Artificial membranes made of lipids which can

enclose the gene and deliver it to the new location

in the patient
