Acceptable Paraphrase—Not PlagiarizedBiology 107 Plagiarism WorksheetDue Week of Lab 6, 2021Answer the questions on pages 2 and 3 and turn in this assignment to your TA to receive points on your Lab Report First Draft.Recognizing Plagiarism: The following section illustrates common forms of plagiarism and models an acceptable way of paraphrasing. The Original Source“Some environmental extremists bewail the use of genetic modification that allows crops tobe herbicide resistant, or others that allow plants to produce their own insecticide. Among other charges, they suggest that herbicide resistance might be passed to wild relatives of the crops, and that insecticide-producing plants will decimate insect life and decrease biodiversity.”[Norman Borlaug, “We Need Biotech to Feed the World,” Wall Street Journal, December 6,2000]Forms of Plagiarism--Examples1. Using author’s language without quotation marks (noticeable words or phrases)Norman Borlaug (2000) says that environmentalists bewail using GM crops that resist herbicides or insects. Insect life will be decimated and biodiversity decreased, they claim, and the genes might be passed to the crops’ wild relatives (Borlaug 2000).2. Using author’s structure (substituting synonyms for words)Some antibiotech activists are unhappy about transgenes that provide herbicide resistanceor plant-made insecticide (Borlaug 2000). The activists, says Borlaug, claim resistance cantransfer to plants related to GM crops, and that those that make insecticides might wipe outinsects and diminish biodiversity.3. Using author’s ideas without clear attribution (e.g., citing only at end of paragraph)Genetically modified crops trouble some environmentalists. Those that are resistant to herbicides might transfer that capacity to their weedy relatives. Those that make insecticides might destroy insects indiscriminately, reducing the gene pool in populations or even eliminating species (Borlaug 2000).4. Mentioning author’s name but not citingNorman Borlaug writes that some people believe GM crops can harm the environment by transferring herbicide resistance to weeds or destroying non-target insects.Acceptable Paraphrase—Not PlagiarizedBorlaug (2000) writes that environmentalists “bewail” using genetic engineering to produce crops that are not harmed by herbicides or that make compounds toxic to insects. He says that these “extremists” claim such crops can transfer their genes to weeds or “decimate insect life and decrease biodiversity.”Due in Week of Lab 6, 2021 1Biology 107 Plagiarism WorksheetDue Week of Lab 6, 2021The following are examples of student plagiarismNote that you will be turning in this section. Failure to include this component with the first submission of the Introduction and References will result in zero points for the assignment.Instructions: For the following examples: a) underline identical words or phrases b) indicate the type of plagiarism that is being illustrated and c) provide your own alternative acceptable paraphrasing. 1) From student’s paper:A stem cell is a cell that has the ability to divide for infinite periods of time (Stem Cells 2001).From source:A stem cell is a cell that has the ability to divide (self replicate) for indefinite periods….b)The student only change few self-replication to ability to dividec) A stem cell is a cell capable of dividing for limitless periods of time.2) From student’s paper:…stem cells are able to develop into mature cells that have the same characteristics, shapes and specialized functions, like heart cells, nerve cells, or skin cells (Stem Cells 2001)From source:…stem cells have the potential to develop into mature cells that have characteristic shapes and specialized functions, such as heart cells, skin cells, or nerve cells.b. paraphrasing c. Stem cells, such as heart cells, skin cells or nerve cells, have the ability to grow into adult cells that have distinctive shapes and special functions.3) From student’s paper:Stem cells can be found in the bone marrow of the breastbone, skull, hips, ribs and spine, but there is only about one stem cell in 100,000 blood cells (Information Guide 2000).From source:In the bone marrow, there is approximately 1 stem cell in every 100,000 blood cells. Thebone marrow in the breast bone, skull, hips, ribs, and spine contains the stem cells.Used their own words Due in Week of Lab 6, 2021 2Biology 107 Plagiarism WorksheetDue Week of Lab 6, 2021Approximately 1 stem cell in every 100,000 blood cells is in the bone marrow. Stem cells contain the bone marrow in the breast bone, skull, hips, ribs, and spine. 4) From student’s paper:Aphaeresis is a procedure when a patient is attached to a machine in both arms, via a catheter, blood is taken from one arm, ran through the machine to separate the blood from the stem cells and then the blood is returned to the other arm (Stem Cells 2001).From source (the source was cited incorrectly; the actual source was Information Guide):The patient is connected to a cell separation machine via a needle in each arm. Blood istaken from one arm, circulated through the machine to remove the stem cells, and the remaining blood cells are returned to the patient through the other arm. This look like the student took the authors words, words per wordsThe patient is connected via a needle in each arm to a cell separation system. To extract the stem cells, blood is drawn from one arm, pumped through the system and the remaining blood cells are returned through the other arm to the patient.5) From student’s paper:This procedure could take several sessions, with each session lasting up to six hours, toharvest enough stem cells for transplantation.From source:Several sessions of up to six hours are required to harvest, through apheresis, enough stem cells for transplantation.Direct words from the article and changed few words With each session lasting up to six hours, this procedure could take multiple sessions to extract enough stem cells for transplantation.Due in Week of Lab 6, 2021 3Biology 107 Plagiarism WorksheetDue Week of Lab 6, 2021Before you turn in this assignment you should be able to check off the following items:____yes_The Report Draft Introduction includes at least three (3) relevant journal articles. ___yes__The journal articles are peer-reviewed and have been cited properly within the text and in the reference section.___yes I did not__I have not used any references from
