1. KEY CONCEPT Entire genomes are sequenced, studied, and compared.

2. Genomics involves the study of genes, gene functions, and entire genomes. Why do we study genomics? Genomics is the study of genomes. can include the sequencing of the genome comparisons of genomes within and across species

5. analyzed DNA from a few people

7. DMD N Genetic screening can detect genetic disorders. Genetic screening involves the testing of DNA. determines risk of havingor passing on a geneticdisorder used to detect specificgenes or proteins can detect some genesrelated to an increasedrisk of cancer can detect some genesknown to cause geneticdisorders Would finding genes known to cause genetic disorders determine if you would get a disease?

8. Think About It… Would you be in favor of mandatory screening of all newborns? Do you think certain rules or laws would need to be in place first?

9. Gene therapy is the replacement of faulty genes. Gene therapy replaces defective or missing genes, or adds new genes, to treat a disease.

11. genetically engineered viruses used to “infect” a patient’s cells

12. insert gene to stimulate immune system to attack cancer cells

14. inserting gene into correct cells

15. controlling gene expression

17. Why is DNA fingerprinting able to identify people? A. The number of repeats in each location varies from person to person. B. The base sequence in each location varies from person to person. C. Every person has different genes. D. Every person has a unique restriction enzyme, which is analyzed in fingerprinting. Correct Answer = A What is the purpose of genetic screening? A. to treat a person who has a genetic disorder B. to find the right type of medication to cure a disorder C. to replace mutated genes D. to test DNA for the risk of having a genetic disorder

20. Technology allows the study and comparison of both genes and proteins

21. Genetic screening is the examination of genes for possible issues

22. Gene therapy is the replacement of faulty genes

23. Gene therapy has many potential benefits but several obstacles before it can be used
