Question
with just the information so far, three of the four questions posed at the beginning of this readiness reading can be addressed. drag and drop each statement to the question it best answers. what is modified about a genetically modified organism? what exactly is a gene? and what do genes do? why do some of the changes in genes called mutations cause genetic disease? genes are segments of dna that store information, which then gets accessed to make rnas and proteins. changes in dna lead to changes in mrna and proteins. many of these changes result in dysfunctional proteins. if new genes are introduced into an organism by humans, the organism will make new proteins.
- For the question "What is modified about a genetically modified organism?", the relevant statement is "If new genes are introduced into an organism by humans, the organism will make new proteins." This is because genetic modification often involves introducing new genes.
- For the question "What exactly is a gene? And what do genes do?", the statement "Genes are segments of DNA that store information, which then gets accessed to make RNAs and proteins." directly answers it as it defines genes and their function.
- For the question "Why do some of the changes in genes called mutations cause genetic disease?", the statement "Changes in DNA lead to changes in mRNA and proteins. Many of these changes result in dysfunctional proteins." explains it as dysfunctional proteins (due to gene - related changes) can cause genetic diseases.
