Transcript: Biotechnology Louis Terrero P:2 qESTION 1 Section 1 1) How does biotechnology impacts individuals, society, and/or the environment? Introduction Answer Biotechnology has an endless amount of positive impacts on people, society, and the environment. For example, it helps protect the crops from pest and the environment that may impact the crop in a negative way. Therefor it helps farm to grow more crops, which means there is more agriculture in society, which provides more food and meals for individuals with lots of proteins. Although biotech has many pros but it still has its downside on society and individuals! For example, creating new allergic reactions, higher prices for farms, and more. Pictures Pictures of biotechnology Define the following and state ways in which each is utilized: Section 2 DNA FINGERPRINT Explanation: • DNA fingerprinting “…is the process of determining an individual’s DNA characteristics. In lines of, "DNA profiling". Don’t let the name DNA fingerprinting narrow you mind. DNA fingerprinting doesn’t just have to do with the fingerprint but really any sample that holds DNA. For example, hair, blood or tissue of an organism, saliva, fingerprints, and so much more. This is mainly use in criminal investigations, prison, zoology, agriculture, some technology, etc. u recombinant DNA Explanation: • Recombinant DNA, “Recombinant DNA molecules are DNA molecules formed by laboratory methods of genetic recombination that bring together genetic material from multiple sources, creating sequences that would not otherwise be found in the genome.” stated by, “Recombinant DNA”. Recombinant DNA is utilized in three ways. According to, “What is biotechnology?” It reads, “Recombinant DNA technology has also proven important to the production of vaccines and protein therapies such as human insulin, interferon and human growth hormone. It is also used to produce clotting factors for treating haemophilia and in the development of gene therapy.” In other words, Recombinant DNA is mainly utilized in serums, and in protein treatments. genetic modification Explanation: • Genetic modification is basically genetic manipulation since it modifies the genes of an organism to change their characteristics by using biotechnology. According to, table one in “Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs): Transgenic Crops and Recombinant DNA Technology” shows that corn, soybean, canola , and plums are some example of approved genetic modification commercial products. Gene Therapy Explanation: • Gene therapy is a trial method that uses genes to cure or prevent disease. By replacing a nonfunctional DNA mutated with a functional gene and using viral vectors to distribute them to the cells. Some examples on the way gene therapy are exploited are, “cystic fibrosis, adenosine deaminase deficiency, familial hypercholesterolemia, cancer, and severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID0 syndrome.” Stated by Britannica. What is the difference, if any, between genetic engineering and genetic modification? Section 3 What are some of the risk and benefits associated with the widespread use of genetic engineering in agriculture? GEnetic Modification Response: Genetic engineering is one type of genetic modification that involves the intentional introduction of a targeted change in a plant, animal, or microbial gene sequence to achieve a specific result. Examples of successful Genetic engineering Mouse-ear cress. Purple tomatoes. Western corn rootworm, European corn borer. Onions that do not make you cry. Golden rice. Bananas. Genetic Engineering Response: Genetic modification refers to a range of methods (such as selection, hybridization, and induced mutation) used to alter the genetic composition of domesticated plants and animals to achieve a desired result. Some examples of these methods: Interspecies crossing, is when food plants carry genes that originate in different species, moved both by nature and by human interference. Mutation Breeding: Induced Chemical and X-ray Mutagenesis, is the method of exposing seeds to chemicals or radiation in order to produce mutations with desirable traits to be bred with other cultivars. Simple Selection, a genetically heterogeneous population of plants is inspected plants with the most desired traits, such as improved tastiness and yield—are selected for continued propagation. The others are eaten or discarded. Response: There are many concerning problems about genetic engineering in agriculture. It can create unwanted traits to the food supply, cause allergic and toxic reactions, Unintentional transfer of genes from one GM plat or animal to another plant or animal not planned for genetic modifications and more. risks! risks! benefits! Response: Some of the benefits of GE would include, more nutritious food, adapting the crops to different environments, an increase in the food supply with less coast and longer lasting, and so much more. Overall, there are more risk than benefits to GE in agriculture. What

Transcript: Medical PowerPoint Template Design Elements Color Schemes for Medical Presentations Font Selection for Readability Color schemes significantly affect audience understanding and retention. In medical presentations, using blue and green hues promotes calmness and trust, while contrasting colors can highlight key information and enhance visibility. Choosing the right font is crucial for comprehension. Sans-serif fonts like Arial or Helvetica are recommended as they are easier to read on screens. Always ensure that text is large enough to be legible from a distance. Incorporating Graphics and Images Layout and Structure Incorporating relevant graphics can enhance understanding and retention of complex ideas. Use high-quality images, charts, or diagrams that directly relate to the content to support the narrative without overcrowding the slide. A well-structured layout guides the audience’s eye and improves information flow. Utilize a grid system to maintain alignment and consistency, making sure to reserve space for visual elements. Balance text with images to avoid clutter. A Blank Canvas for Your Data Presentation Tips Best Practices for Delivery Content Organization in Medical Presentations Engaging Your Audience Practicing your presentation can lead to smoother delivery and reduced anxiety. Utilize appropriate body language, voice modulation, and eye contact to foster a connection with the audience, making your message more impactful. Audience engagement is critical for effective communication. Techniques include asking rhetorical questions, using relatable examples, and incorporating multimedia elements to maintain interest and encourage participation. Title Slides and Headings Introduction to Medical Presentations Title slides set the stage for your presentation and should include the topic, your name, and the date. Headings throughout the presentation guide the audience through the narrative and facilitate smooth transitions between topics, ensuring clarity and focus on key messages. Bullet Points vs. Paragraphs Handling Questions and Feedback Bullet points provide concise and digestible pieces of information, making it easier for the audience to follow along. In contrast, paragraphs may be necessary for complex concepts but should be used sparingly to maintain attention and avoid overwhelming the viewer. Practicing and Timing Your Presentation Using Tables and Charts Tables and charts effectively present quantitative data, making complex information more approachable. They facilitate quick understanding of trends and relationships within data, enhancing the audience’s ability to interpret clinical findings or statistical results. Rehearse your presentation multiple times to refine your delivery and timing. Understanding how long each section takes helps ensure that you cover all material without rushing or exceeding your allotted time. Encourage questions to create a dialogue with your audience. Responding thoughtfully to feedback shows respect for their input and enhances clarity for everyone involved, improving overall comprehension. Citing Sources and References Importance of Visual Aids Citing sources is crucial in maintaining credibility and allowing the audience to explore further. Proper referencing not only attributes the original work but also strengthens arguments presented in the medical content, supporting evidence-based practice. Visual aids play a crucial role in medical presentations by simplifying complex information. They help audiences grasp essential concepts quickly, improving retention and engagement through the use of charts, images, and videos. Overview of PowerPoint Features PowerPoint offers various features to enhance medical presentations, including templates specifically designed for medical content, the ability to incorporate multimedia, and options for animations that can illustrate processes or changes over time. Objectives of the Medical Template The medical PowerPoint template serves to streamline the creation of presentations by providing a standardized format. This ensures consistency in design and aids users in organizing their data effectively for clarity and impact.

Transcript: Biotechnology About The Human Genome Project The Human Genome Project launched in 1990, through funding from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Department of Energy, whose labs joined with international collaborators and resolved to sequence 95% of the DNA in human cells in just 15 years. Meanwhile in the UK, John Sulston and his colleagues at the MRC's Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, had, for several years, been working at mapping the genome of the nematode worm and had resolved that sequencing the entire genome of the worm was finally feasible. The first challenge was to create a map of the human genome - a set of index marks on the genome code, used to position the sequences of letters of code that would come later. Researchers essentially broke many copies of the genome into fragments, each around 150,000 letters of code (or base-pairs) long. They inserted the fragments into a bacterial artificial chromosome that could be grown in E. coli bacteria which divided, thereby replicating the DNA samples to create a stable resource - a 'library' of DNA clones. Where the cloned fragments came from or which overlapped was not known at this point. As the human sequence data was pouring out from centres across the globe, researchers were afforded glimpses of the kind of power that the human genome sequence might have for medical advance. In 1995, researchers from the Sanger Centre, with international collaborators, located the BRCA2 gene, associated with increased risk of breast cancer. Elsewhere, as early as 1993, a US team had located the MSH2 gene, which increases the risk of colon cancer for carriers. In Canada, researchers found five variants on the FAD gene, which together confer an almost 100 per cent risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Genetic engineering Genetic engineering is the manipulation of an organism’s genes. It is also called gene splicing, gene modification, and gene manipulation (GM). There are many uses for genetic engineering. In some cases, it can be beneficial but in other cases, in can be harmful. When scientists do genetic engineering, they take living organisms to the lab and change parts of their DNA. DNA is the blueprint for the individuality of an organism. Molecular biologists have discovered many enzymes that change the structure DNA in many living organisms. They have discovered that these enzymes can cut and join strands of DNA. the world’s only strictly genetic engineering curricula, have successfully created a dog that can glow in the dark. Gene Therapy Gene therapy is the use of DNA as a pharmaceutical agent to treat disease. It derives its name from the idea that DNA can be used to supplement or alter genes within an individual's cells as a therapy to treat disease. Protein therapy delivers a therapeutic level of protein that would otherwise be absent or in insufficient amounts in individuals with an illness. It is a medical treatment that has wide-reaching therapeutic possibilities and applications currently being developed in many fields, including cancer,diabetes, and Brain disease. Example Structure Biotechnology In Pulic Understanding In Manipulating Genomes Bioinformatics plays a key role in various areas, such as functional genomics, structural genomics, and proteomics, and forms a key component in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sector. Effect Events Debate Genetically modified foods Several scientists argue that in order to meet the demand for food in the developing world, a second Green Revolution with increased use of GM crops is needed. Others argue that there is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is caused by problems in food distribution and politics, not production. some critics and environmentalists have changed their minds on the issue with respect to the need for additional food supplies.[ Embryonic stem cells Many believe that embryonic stem cell research is bad. They see an embryo as a baby, a life, a person, and therefore it's wrong to use the cells for research because they believe it is killing an unborn child. Medical researchers believe that embryonic stem cell research has the potential to significantly help people who have disabilities, failing body organs or other problems. Cloning Pro Cloning is playing God. It is not merely intervention in the body’s natural processes, but the creation of a new and wholly unnatural process of asexual reproduction. Cloning treats children as objects. Children will be manufactured by an expensive technological process that is subject to quality control. Con The technology is unsafe. Reproductive cloning harms the integrity of the family. Reproductive cloning is contrary to human dignity. Cloning will lead to a diminished sense of identity and individuality for the resultant child. Cloning will lead to a lack of diversity amongst the human population Human reproductive cloning is unnecessary. The effects of biotechnology have permeated the labs in which
