It's a positive thing because you can match up DNA with other samples and tell how big each fragment of DNA is.

Gene Therapy
Describe it
Alteration of and afflicted persons genes.
Analyze it
If someone has something bad in there genes, a scientist might be able to go in, isolate that specific gene and cure it by inserting the normal RNA sequence.
Apply
In bone marrow, you can inject cloned RNA that is absent, into the bone marrow.

Transgenic Plants
Describe
Agricultural engineering in plants.
Analyze
The most common way scientist do this process is by using a plasmid, specifically a Ti plasmid. This plasmid takes it own DNA and puts it into the host DNA. This process of putting recombinant Ti plasmids into plants is called electroporation.
Apply
This can greatly be used in farming/agriculture. The reasoning for this is because if every farmer had the elite plant, we would have better and more food.
Synthesize
This reminds us of rice crispies because if you have a bowl of plain rice crispies they aren't very good, just like a normal plant. But when you add sugar, or a Ti plasmid in plants, it becomes something totally different. It tastes great!
Argue
We are for this because it makes the best plant possible.

Genetic Profiles (forensic testing)
Describe
Someone's DNA can be tested and matched to other DNA samples.
Analyze
When a piece of DNA, whether it be blood, hair, semen, fingerprints, ext, a scientist can take that DNA and use antibodies to detect specific cell-surface proteins. Southern blotting is a common test used in forensics. DNA fingerprints are testing marks on a piece of DNA that is used to match others with because it is very unlikely for a person to have an exact DNA fingerprint as someone else unless they are identical twins.
Apply
Saw you have a crime scene and all you have is a single strand of hair. Well now with this technology a piece of hair is a huge lead.
Synthesize
This reminds us of a muddy kitchen floor. We were reminded of this because one day my mom saw mud from the back door across the kitchen floor. Instead of yelling right away she looked at the pattern of mud and matched the marks to the bottom of my shoe. I got busted.
Argue
we are for this because it is a great use for science because it is a way to prove things. Instead of just accusing someone of something there is a way to prove it now.
