a) Genetically modified food. What is the purposeof human-made genetic recombinations in food? Are foods thatcontain genes resulting from artificial genetic recombinationsreally safe? What foods in your supermarket result from geneticrecombination? What types of regulations exist for these foods?(For example, you might search the Food and Drug Administrationwebsite.) Clearly explain your reasoning for each answer.

Write two pages,double spaced, excluding references. You must read the articlesthat you find and summarize the information they contain briefly inyour own words. Extensive quotes from the article are discouraged.This assignment demonstrates the acceptable, ethical, and academicmethod for citing information from a public source. You may not useonline encyclopedias as a source more than once. Use APAstyle for citing references

We now continue the use of organic chemistry reaction roadmaps. Because of the unique nature of the new reactions presented, we recommend that you make a new
roadmap only for Chapters 20–23.

To make your own roadmap for Chapters 20–23, take a blank sheet of paper and write the following functional groups in the orientations shown. Fill the entire sheet of paper and leave plenty of room between functional groups. Most students find it helpful to use a poster-sized sheet of paper filled out in landscape orientation.

As before, refer to the “Study Guide” section of this chapter. Write the reagents required to bring about each reaction next to the arrows shown. Next, record any regiochemistry or stereochemistry considerations relevant to the reaction.

You should also record any key aspects of the mechanism, such as formation of an important intermediate, as a helpful reminder. You may want to keep track of all reactions that make carbon-carbon bonds, because these help you build large molecules from smaller fragments.

On the above organic chemistry roadmap template, the information for the reaction addition of HX to dienes has been added to help you get started. Appendix 10 contains a series of roadmaps for different sections of the book, but you should use those for reference only after you have completed your own.

We have looked many topics thus far in biology, and have learned how to think critically. As the last assignment, a right of passage into applying scientific principles to the outside world, you will write a paper over a controversial topic in biology. You will approach the matter from a scientific perspective. This means you will have to read scientific journal articles.How to approach a topic and the information you should include:1) What is currently known about the subject? (requires research: must be actual scientific articles not webpages, philosophical diatribes, or some shady article you found in wikipedia)2) What areas of the topic are not well understood, or needs further research? (make sure you really do your homework, don't accept wide ranging statements made on politically driven websites)2) Discuss where the controversy arises when the science meets society. Why does the topic really matter to the advancement of the human race? If it doesn't matter than why is it so politically charged, and why not discuss something that does matter?Bonus (10 points):Design a project or a company that could be involved in improving other peoples lives based on the information you discovered above.Be creative. Make something new and innovative. Post your ideas in the discussion board under the abstract of your paper. See instructions for submission in this folder.
