What are our motives in Genetic Engineering? (Humanitarian,
improve mankind or national interests)
Answer / ekwemuka michael
hink the motive behind genetic engineering is to improve
breeding of animalkinds in different forms like; heredity
mechanism, gene reshuffling
e.tc.
In hereditery mechanism, it brings about variation
in the population, thereby ensuring the masked differences
in individual species. This then leads to having breeds
that are susceptible or resistance to diverse attacks; thus
ensuring the survival of the fittest.

In horses, B = black, b = brown, T = trotter, t = pacer. A black pacer mated to a brown trotter produces a black trotter offspring year after year. What are the probable genotypes?
A blastomere was removed from an 8-cell human embryo, and its beta-globin gene was amplified by PCR. The beta-globin DNA was treated with an enzyme that cuts on either side of and within the normal allele (producing a small fragment), but not within the sickle cell allele (producing a large fragment). Electrophoresis of the treated DNA from the blastomere demonstrated the presence of both a large and small fragment derived from the beta-globin genes. How should you interpret this test?
In snapdragons tallness (T) is dominant to dwarfness (t). Red flowers are produced by RR and white flowers by rr but the heterozygous Rr is pink. A dwarf red snapdragon is crossed to a homozygous tall plant with white flowers. What is the phenotypic ratio of the F1? the F2?
