artifitial selection

What is genetic engineering?

• Changing the proteins in living organisms to create something new.

• Changing the DNA in living organisms to create something new.

• Changing the RNA in living organisms to create something new.

• Changing the carbohydrates in living organisms to create something new.

The three types of artifitial selection are:

What are organisms called when their DNA has been modified?

• Genetically Altered Organism (GAO)

• Genetically Modified Organism (GMO)

• Genetically Enhanced Organism (GEO)

• Genetically Mutated Organism (GMO)

What is the technique where breeders choose which organisms to mate to produce offspring with desired traits?

• Hybridization

• Inbreeding

• Cloning

• Selective Breeding

-----------------: is breeding of organism that genetically similar to maintain desired traits

What is the purpose of inbreeding?

• To create genetically modified organisms.

• To introduce new genetic material into a population.

• To maintain desired traits in a population.

• To increase genetic variation in a population.

What is the risk associated with inbreeding?

• Higher chance of inheriting recessive genetic disorders.

• Decreased likelihood of genetic disorders.

• Improved overall health of the population.

• Increased genetic diversity.

What is the main goal of selective breeding in agriculture?

• To reduce genetic diversity

• To introduce harmful traits into a population

• To maintain or enhance desirable traits

• To prevent any genetic modifications

• Angus cows are bred to increase muscle mass so that we get more meat is an example of  

• A. selective breeding

• B. hybridization

• C. inbreeding

  
  

• D. Natural Selection
  

When two individuals with unlike characteristics are crossed to produce
the best in both organisms, this is an example of :

• A. selective breeding

• B. hybridization

• C. inbreeding

• D. Natural Selection
