Match each application of genetics in medicine or agriculture listed on the left with its corresponding biological mechanism or practical outcome on the right.

  • Polyploidy induction in crop breedingArtificially doubling chromosome sets to produce larger, seedless, or high-yielding crop varieties.
  • Pre-marital genetic counselingEvaluating the probability of offspring inheriting autosomal recessive blood disorders such as sickle-cell anemia.
  • Recombinant DNA technology in medicineInserting specific human genes into bacterial plasmids to synthesize therapeutic proteins like insulin.
  • Inbreeding of livestock linesEstablishing homozygous pure lines for desired traits, which can potentially lead to inbreeding depression.

Cevap

Polyploidy induction in crop breeding matches with artificially doubling chromosome sets to produce larger, seedless, or high-yielding crop varieties. Pre-marital genetic counseling matches with evaluating the probability of offspring inheriting autosomal recessive blood disorders such as sickle-cell anemia. Recombinant DNA technology in medicine matches with inserting specific human genes into bacterial plasmids to synthesize therapeutic proteins like insulin. Inbreeding of livestock lines matches with establishing homozygous pure lines for desired traits, which can potentially lead to inbreeding depression.
Each application correctly pairs with its specific biological mechanism or goal: Polyploidy increases chromosome sets for crop improvement; genetic counseling evaluates hereditary disease risks in families; recombinant DNA technology uses bacterial plasmids to produce human therapeutics like insulin; and inbreeding establishes pure homozygous lines in livestock breeding.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze crop breeding techniques for polyploidy.
Polyploidy refers to having extra sets of chromosomes, used in agriculture to create larger, seedless, or robust varieties.
Polyploid plants often exhibit gigas effects, producing larger fruits and flowers.
2
Analyze medical genetic counseling goals.
Genetic counselors assess carrier statuses (e.g., HbAA vs. HbAS) to inform prospective parents about inheritance probabilities of recessive conditions.
Preventive medicine relies on genetic screening to reduce the incidence of severe hereditary traits.
3
Analyze modern medical biotechnology applications.
Recombinant DNA technology splices targeted human genes into bacterial expression vectors to manufacture proteins such as human insulin or growth hormone.
Bacteria replicate rapidly, allowing large-scale production of human-compatible therapeutic proteins.
4
Analyze animal breeding methods involving close relatives.
Inbreeding concentrates specific alleles to create true-breeding pure lines, but can accumulate harmful recessive alleles.
Homozygosity increases predictability of offspring traits but risks inbreeding depression.
