3. Which of the following is true about EPO?
4. Which of the following anatomical sites being tested or are targets for future gene therapies?
5. Which of the following living organisms have a GMO counterpart?
6. Microarray’s are used by DNA sequencing companies like 23 and Me to provide the customer with information about a predetermined set of genes or DNA sequences which they may possess because they bind to corresponding genes on the microarray.

18. Gene silencing involves antisense molecules, ribozymes and RNA interference to block translation of mRNAs.
19. EPO is a hormone which naturally increases the number of red blood cells in the blood.
20. Pigs cannot extract phosphorus from cereal so phosphorus is put into their diets. However this leads to excess phosphorus in their manure. This is a problem because;
21. GMO salmon are salmon which have been genetically altered to grow faster and are grown in special aquatic enclosures to prevent them from getting in natural waterways.  What are some problems which could arise from this technology?
22. The end result of translation is an amino acid chain which folds into a protein.
23. In 2013 what genetics testing company came under scrutiny for allegedly incorporating eugenic ideals by promoting the idea of prescreening their egg and sperm donor DNA for genetic defects so customers could avoid those samples?
24. Most gene therapy vectors under current use are disarmed viruses.
25. Recombinant DNA;
