413) Discuss some examples of different fields of biotechnology and what they study (e.g.,bioremediation, which isused to assist in the clean-up of chemical spills, etc.).Answer: Answers can vary.Some answers include:•Microbial biotechnology, which is used to detect microbes for diagnostic purposes inhumans, food samples, and other sources.•Animal biotechnology, which helps produce antibodies in the milk of the animal withoutdoing harm to the animal.•Forensic biotechnology, which is useful in solving crimes and testing paternity.•Medical biotechnology, which involves producing products to diagnose, treat,or cure adisease.Section: 1.2 Types of BiotechnologyBloom's Taxonomy: Applying/Analyzing14) What are some nonscience job opportunities in a biotechnology company? Why would it stillbe useful to have some science background for these positions?Answer: Some nonscience biotechnology jobs include working in regulatory affairs, marketing,sales, and the legal department of the company. Because the company products are ultimatelybiological in nature, employees will better understand how to do their jobs if they know thescience as well. For example, if a sales representative does not understand any of the sciencebehind the product they are selling, they cannot easily answer any questions the prescribingphysician might ask them.Section: 1.4 The Biotechnology WorkforceBloom's Taxonomy: Applying/Analyzing15) What are some of the advantages of a biosimilar drug versus a patented pharmaceuticalproduct? What are the disadvantages?Answer: Advantages:Biosimilars can cut costs because they are often approved for use without having to undergo thesame expensive safety and effects studies required for pharmaceutical product.Disadvantages:Biosimilars can still be more expensive to produce because biosimilars can be difficult toreplicate exactly.Section: 1.4 The Biotechnology WorkforceBloom's Taxonomy: Applying/Analyzing16) ________ is an approach to genome editing that makes it possible to correct genetic diseasesand create novel genetic modification of genomes.A) Synthetic genomesB) Gene cloningC) Gene therapyD) CRISPR-CasE) High-throughput screeningAnswer: DSection: 1.1 What Is Biotechnology and What Does It Mean to You?Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering/Understanding
