Golgi apparatus. b. chloroplast. d. vacuole. 6. All the following are found in both plant and animal cells, except a. a cell wall. c. mitochondria. b. a cell membrane. d. endoplasmic reticulum. 7. Genetic engineering refers to the process of a. creating new DNA molecules from nucleotide sequences. b. rearranging nucleotides in a gene of an organism so that new traits appear in the development of an embryo. c. moving genes from a chromosome of one organism to a chromosome of a different organism. d. building a new species by combining genes of different organisms. 8. The use of genetic engineering to transfer human genes into bacteria a. is impossible with current technology. b. causes the human genes to manufacture bacterial proteins. c. results in the formation of a new species of organism. d. allows the bacteria to produce human proteins. 9. Which of the following is not an example of gene technology used in farming? a. the use of cow growth hormone produced by bacteria to increase milk production in cows b. the development of larger and faster-growing breeds of livestock c. the cloning of human brain cells from selected farm animals d. the addition of human genes to farm-animal genes to obtain milk containing human proteins ____ 10. Antibiotics are ineffective against viral infections because a. viruses are protected inside their host cells. b. viruses have enzymes that inactivate the antibiotics. c. antibiotics interfere with metabolic processes that viruses do not perform. d. viral protein coats block the antibiotics from entering the virus. Short Answer 11. Genetic engineering has made it possible for pharmaceutical companies to produce medicines such as insulin and human growth hormone. Give at least two reasons why this is important. 12. Antibiotics are generally effective against bacterial infections but cannot be used to treat viral infections. Why is this the case?

ANS: The production of genetically engineered medicines is important because a. large amounts of medicines can be produced. b. it is safer—the process eliminates risk of contamination from diseases such as AIDS in human blood products. c. it is less expensive. PTS: 1 DIF: III OBJ: 11.2.2 STA: IV.10.3 12. ANS: Antibiotics work by interfering with cell wall formation or cellular processes such as protein synthesis. Some antibiotics can cause disruption of the cell membrane. All of these actions can negatively affect the survival of bacteria. However, since viruses do not undergo cellular processes, they are not influenced by the actions of antibiotics. Thus, antibiotic treatment is ineffective against viral infections.
