The answer is 2. Genetic engineering has been of great help in our community. This is because various forms or types of living organisms are formed in order for us to meet our demands. For example, if an organism is said to have a mutation before it is even born, genetic engineering could prevent this mutation from happening once it is detected.

Two examples of how understanding genetics more possible with regards to treatment and diagnosis is by:
1) new born screening – this type of advancement could easily know or detect certain abnormalities that can occur during childhood as early as an individual is born.
2. Knowing the sequence of genes of an individual may be compared or analyzed together with the genes of the parents if there is a possible way of having cancer throughout his/her lifetime.

The answer is 1. The ability to transfer DNA from one organism to another is by incorporating a certain DNA into another living organism’s DNA. As living organisms reproduce, sex cells are the ones involved during the process of transferring the genetic material from parent to offspring. Sex cells exchange or transfer genetic material from each other.

The answer is 3. This is because all base pairs are equally paired. So, if T is 15% then A is also 15%. The remaining would be 70% which is then divided equally into 2 for the G and C base pairs.

The answer is 3. According to the passage there was no information about the difficulty of transplanting genetic material into bacteria.

3

The answer is 1. This is true because according to the passage bacteria reproduce at a rapid rate if under certain conditions such as temperature, environment and nutrients given.

The answer is 1. The continued use of insulin acquired from animals, if with prolonged use, may trigger severe allergic responses.

1

The answer is 2. This is false because according to the passage, the specific bacteria used for this is experiment is E. coli which is mainly found in our digestive system.

2

The answer is 3. Because there is not much evidence seen in the passage about other bacteria producing insulin.

The answer is 3. Genetic engineering has been of great help in our community. This is because various forms or types of living organisms are formed in order for us to meet our demands.

3

The answer is 2. Enzymes are utilized for enhancing the rate of special chemical reactions without being taken up.

The advantage of this would be that it would economically benefit humans using this. Instead of needing expensive materials to create insulin, making organisms that can produce insulin would be more economical and safe.
