Question

7) Which of the following is NOT used to create insulin for diabetics as described in class? A. Host cell B. virus C. restriction enzymes D. plasmids E. reverse transcriptase

8) Tumors make a protein called VEGF which causes new blood vessels to grow. This process is called A. metastasis B. angiogenesis C. apoptosis D. mutagenesis

9) The magic bullet approach is a method of targeting cancer drugs specifically to cancer cells without killing good cells. This is achieved by attaching the chemotherapeutic to A. Viruses B. radioactive material C. antibodies D. growth factors

Answer 1

7- (B) Virus is not used to create insulin for diabetics. Host cell, restrictions enzyme, plasmid, reverse transcriptase all are very much necessary for creation of insulin.

8- tumors make a protein called VEGF which causes new blood vessels to grow, this process is called (B) angiogenesis.

9- The magic bullet approach is a method of targeting cancer drugs specifically to cancer cells without killing good cells. This is achieved by attaching the chemotherapeutic to (C) antibodies. Antibodies are the protein molecules that target the infected cell only, like a gun target the particular space. The magic bullet approach is being developed by Ehrlich.
