Eukaryotes DNA {Ans: Linear DNA}founder effect {Ans: change in allele frequencies as a result of the migration of a small subgroup of a population}six fears of GMOs {Ans: Fear #1. Organisms that we want to kill may become invincible. Herbicide resistant plants Fear #2. Organisms that we don't want to kill may be killed inadvertently. Monarch butterflies eating plants with pollen from Bt genetically modified plants on it. Fear #3. Genetically modified crops are not tested or regulated adequately. Almost impossible to completely test a GMO Fear #4. Eating genetically modified foods is dangerous. Genes from Brazil nut incorporated into soybean - to increase nutritional value of soybean, but it also caused allergies. No evidence GMF are dangerous. Fear #5. Loss of genetic diversity among crop plants is risky. All species of organisms want genetic diversity. If have no genetic diversity, may not be able to survive a pathogen or change in environment. Fear #6. Hidden costs may reduce the financial advantages of genetically modified crops.}gene {Ans: section of DNA that contains instructions for making a protein}In eukaryotes, newly synthesized proteins are most commonly found in---------- . In prokaryotes, newly synthesized proteins are found in ---------.
