Review the Recombinant DNA and Ethics activity.
Complete all four sections.
Determine, in each section, whether the items in the presentation are applications of recombinant DNA technology.
Click on items in each section.
A pop-up box will appear, asking you whether or not this item is an application of recombinant DNA technology.
If you click yes, a notepad appears allowing you to type notes about the application and in what way it is used.
Include any ethical issues that arise out of this application.
A Microsoft® Word document, containing all of your notes, is generated at the end of the activity when you click Print at the bottom of the notepad.
