ANSWERS TAGGED A+
✔✔Biopharmaceuticals differ from chemical drugs in that they: - ✔✔Are produced by a
living system
Cannot be terminally sterilized using heat
Are more sensitive to how they are handled in the manufacturing process
✔✔Which of the following represents a potential benefit of genetically engineered
animals? - ✔✔Enhanced animal welfare and health to increase resistance to disease,
minimizing the need for animal care interventions
Production of valuable industrial products, such as spider silk used for medical and
defense purposes
Efficient production of replacement proteins, drugs, vaccines or tissues for treating and
preventing human diseases
✔✔Which of the following represents a benefit of genetic engineering to humans? -
✔✔developing medications
✔✔Which of the following pieces of legislation prohibits bias that is based on
information derived from DNA testing? - ✔✔Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act
✔✔Biotechnology can be used to provide alternative, cleaner technologies to help
reduce or remove hazardous environmental contaminants. Examples include:
• A lignin degrading enzyme used in place of bleach in paper mills
• Microbes used in place of oil based raw materials to polymerize plastics
• Using microorganisms to remove environmental pollutants
What might be some limitations preventing the widespread use of these new
technologies? - ✔✔Microbial activity may change with seasonal changes in temperature
Degraded waste byproducts may still be a major problem
New technologies might be more costly and take more time
Concerns regarding long-term outcomes from using genetically modified organisms
✔✔If you have a research-based biotechnology job, you are most likely involved in: -
✔✔Discovering new products and the process for their development
✔✔Oversees and ensures that all products meet standards of quality prior to being
released for sale - ✔✔Quality Assurance
