Question

science of biology
one of the rapidly growing disciplines of biology is biotechnology. researchers in this field investigate using cellular and biomolecular processes to develop technology and produce useful goods. biotechnology practices can include the manipulation of genes.
sort the research projects according to the type of laboratory where they would be completed.

• development of a tiny mechanical drone that flies like a bee
• research to create gene - enhanced bacteria that are able to clean up toxic wastes
• an attempt to silence certain genes and to enhance expression of other genes in a plant to produce chemotherapy drugs
• developing a protein which acts as a \scissors\ to cut strands of dna in a cell in order to insert new genetic material
• biotechnology lab
• other lab

Explanation:

• Biotechnology Lab projects involve cellular/biomolecular processes or gene manipulation:
• "research to create gene - enhanced bacteria..." (gene manipulation, uses biomolecular processes).
• "an attempt to silence certain genes..." (gene manipulation in plants).
• "developing a protein which acts as a'scissors'..." (DNA and genetic material manipulation, biomolecular process).
• Other Lab: "development of a tiny mechanical drone..." (mechanical engineering, not biotechnology).

Answer:

Biotechnology Lab:

• research to create gene - enhanced bacteria that are able to clean up toxic wastes
• an attempt to silence certain genes and to enhance expression of other genes in a plant to produce chemotherapy drugs
• developing a protein which acts as a "scissors" to cut strands of DNA in a cell in order to insert new genetic material

Other Lab:

• development of a tiny mechanical drone that flies like a bee
