Hillis, Mary V Price, Richard W Hill 880 solutions What are two applications of transgenic organisms?Applications of animal transgenesis may be divided into three major categories: (i) to obtain information on gene function and regulation as well as on human diseases, (ii) to obtain high value products (recombinant pharmaceutical proteins and xeno-organs for humans) to be used for human therapy, and (iii) to improve ...
What types of products are recombinant cells and organisms used to manufacture?Through recombinant DNA techniques, bacteria have been created that are capable of synthesizing human insulin, human growth hormone, alpha interferon, hepatitis B vaccine, and other medically useful substances.
What type of technology could be used to produce new cells of a specific type to help treat diseases?Generate healthy cells to replace cells affected by disease (regenerative medicine). Stem cells can be guided into becoming specific cells that can be used in people to regenerate and repair tissues that have been damaged or affected by disease.
What are some examples of uses of recombinant technology?Applications of recombinant DNA in genetic engineering are: For the production of vaccines like the hepatitis B vaccine. Production of transgenic plants with improved qualities like insect and drought resistance and nutritional enrichment. Therapeutic protein production like insulin.
