Prepare a substantive response in which you address the following:
Part I: Compare and Contrast the working parts found in prokaryotic and
eukaryotic cells. How do the structures of the cell organelles dictate
their specific functions?
Part II: Scientists are learning to manipulate living cells in various
ways, changing their genetic composition and the way they function.
Some biotechnology companies have sought to patent their unique
engineered cell lines. Do you think it is in society’s best interest to
allow cells to be patented? Why or why not? Do you think the same
patent rules should apply whether the cells originate from a human or
from a bacterium?
Provide specific examples and references to the video in your response.
