Part 2. Open book/take home exam (80 points total) Question 1. What is gene therapy? What are the differences between somatic gene therapy and germline gene therapy? Please use the four principles of ethic approaches to examine issues associated with gene therapy and then draw your own conclusions Question 2. Please read the paper (Handout 1, entitled 'Genetically Engineered Plants and Foods: A Scientist's Analysis of the Issues (Part I)' by Lemaux, published in Annu Rev. Plant Biol' (2008) 59:771-812) and answer the following questions using 2-6 sentences. A simple 'yes' or 'no' answer will not suffice. I. 2.2. Except GMO crops, does genetic engineering play a role in producing food? Please give 2 examples. 2. 2.3. How does the creation of GMO crops differ from that of traditional breeding? 3. 2.6. Which U.S. government agencies regulate GMO crops? What does each agency do? 4. 2.7. What are the major GMO crops grown commercially? Name the top five countries growing them. What are the major GM traits? ningredient from a

Explanation / Answer

Gene Therapy is the advanced mode of treatment where it involves therapeutic delivery of nucleic acids in to cells of patients. Many approches have been discovered including replacing diseased gene in to newer ones or distrupting the diseased one, etc.,

Somatic cell gene therapy involves insertion of genes to another cell, it uses therapeutic DNA to treat disease. This method has advantage that since it involves insertion of cells to patients it does the effects to the patients only, so the offspring remains unaffected.

Germ line gene therapy involves insertion of genes on to germ line cells, gamates, stem cells so the effects of the treatment will all get inherited to the offsprings in turn.

2.7. Some of the commercially grown GM crops include corn, cotton, soya beans, canola, papaya etc., USA tops with high highest growth of GM crops includes maize, papaya, canola followed by Brazil which grows maize, cotton, soya bean, then Argentina, India and Sudan.

2.6. US government agency which regulated the production of GM crops include Environmental protection agency, Food and Drug administration and US department of agriculture.

2.5. Traditional breeding involved transfer of male gamets to female ones whereas genitically modified crops involves insertion of genes of interest in to target plants for the production of crops of interest.
