a)pharmaceuticals
b)paternity testing
c)environmental studies
d)biopesticide development

2.A patient is found to be suffering from a bacterial infection. Which genetically engineered medicine is most likely to be used to help this patient?
a)insulin
b)flu shot
c)penicillin
d)human growth hormone

Answer 1

The right options are;

1. a) pharmaceuticals

2. c) penicillin

Pharmaceuticals is a career that involves the production, discovery, development, and sales of drugs that are used as medications for treatment, vaccination or to reduce a symptom. Pharmaceuticals is a career that combines DNA technology and medicine.

Penicillins are a group of antibacterial drugs that attacks many bacteria. Penicillin are widely used, and are effective against many bacterial infections caused by staphylococci and streptococci. Penicillin include procaine penicillin, penicillin V (oral use), penicillin G (intravenous use), and benzathine penicillin (intramuscular use).

Answer 2

A career that combines DNA technology and medicine is pharmaceuticals. A knowledge of both is needed in this field.

Penicillin would be most likely to help a patient who is found to be suffering from a bacterial infection. Penicillin is used for bacterial infections, while insulin is used for diabetics, the flu shot is used to prevent flu, a human growth hormone would not fight a bacterial infection.
