Prior to the production of recombinant human insulin, diabetic patients could use insulin isolated from cattle. Which of the listed items would not be a drawback to this procedure?
| 1. | Insulin from cattle is slightly different from human insulin, potentially leading to allergic reactions. |
| 2. | Members of some religions consider cattle sacred and thus are unable to use insulin isolated from cattle. |
| 3. | Infectious diseases may be transferred in the isolated insulin. |
| 4. | Despite the relatively stable supply of cattle pancreases from slaughterhouses, insulin isolated from cattle is still relatively expensive and is in, somewhat, limited supply. |

Bacteria that are unable to synthesize chemicals that allow the formation of ice crystals have been engineered. Commercial fruit farmers can spray this bacterial strain on their fruit plants, with the idea that they will compete with unmodified bacteria and reduce frost damage. This is an example of:
| 1. | Bioremediation | 2. | Biological control |
| 3. | Biodegradation | 4. | Bioeradication |
In gene knockout technology:
| 1. | A gene is inserted by nonhomologous recombination. |
| 2. | A mutant gene is replaced by a functional copy. |
| 3. | A functional gene is replaced by a mutant copy. |
| 4. | A functional gene is inserted in addition to the mutant copy. |
Which of the following explains why production of transgenic plants is easier than production of transgenic animals?
1. Plant cells can grow in cell culture.
2. Plant cells have a lower number of potentially lethal genes.
3. Plant cells are totipotent.
4. Production of mutant plants poses less ethical dilemmas than production of mutant animals.
