Question 6 (3 points)

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are created by inserting one or more genes into an organism's genome. As you know, each gene codes for a polypeptide or protein, so by inserting a new gene we can get organisms to produce a new protein. A researcher would like to make a genetically modified cow that has more of a specific type of protein called mooglobin. What is his most likely approach?

Question 6 options:

	Insert a gene in the cow's chloroplast that codes for a protein involved in mooglobin synthesis
	Insert a gene in the cow's genome that codes for a carbohydrate that acts as an enzyme in mooglobin synthesis
	Insert a gene in the cow's genome that codes for a protein that acts as a catalyst in mooglobin synthesis.
	Inject the cow with purified mooglobin protein daily for several weeks
	Insert a gene in the cow's genome that codes for an enzyme involved in the decomposition of mooglobin

In human gene therapy, _______.

Question 7 options:

	normal versions of genes are transferred to patients who carry a mutated allele.
	harmless bacteria make important proteins for humans that cannot produce these proteins on their own
	genetically engineered alleles from other species replace mutated alleles.
	bacterial plasmids are inserted into the human genome.

	Two species can belong to the same phylum, but different orders.
	Two species can belong to the same order, but different classes.

Question 9 (3 points)

How does ATP provide energy to a cell?

Question 9 options:

	It releases electrons, which are a source of energy.
	It shuttles electrons across the mitochondrial membrane to create potential energy.
	It loses a phosphate group, releasing energy in the process.
	It adds a phosphate group, releasing energy in the process.
	It releases protons, which are used in the mitochondria to create energy.
