• DNA from 2 different organisms combined

• DNA from 2 different ribosomes

• DNA that is separated out from a vector

Which of the following could be used as a vector for a human gene?

• Bacterial Plasmid with recombinant DNA or a virus

• Bacteria colonies

• A mitochondria

• mRNA in proteins

In which ways can genetic engineering can improve crops

"transgenic" refers to an animal that:

• Has DNA from another organism spliced into its genome

• Has undergone selective breeding

• Has unique genes for its species

Humans with genetic diseases can have a gene inserted into their body using a virus vector. This is called:

• Gene therapy

• Cloning

• DNA fingerprinting

When DNA is manipulated and moved from one source to another it is known as

• genetic engineering/transformation

• electrophoresis/ DNA finger finger printing

• gene therapy

• polymerase chain reaction

Which term refers to a farmer choosing the best corn from this year to plant next year?

• natural selection
• selective breeding
• genetic engineering
• genetic transformation

A clone is

• recombinant DNA

• a transgenic organsim

• plasmid

• genetically identical to the doner cell

What process is shown in the picture?

• Gene therapy

• Cloning (scnt)

• DNA Fingerprinting

• Gene Splicing

Advantages of genetically modified crops include(s)

• insect resistance
• drought/freeze resistance
• higher yield
• all of these are reasons for using Genetically modified crops
