GMO Review

What is Agrobacterium tumefaciens used for?

• To induce mutations in plants

• To cross-pollinate plants

• To transfer genes into a target plant

• To double the chromosomes in a plant

What does GMO stand for?

• Genome Modified Output

• Genetic Management Operation

• General Mutation Organism

• Genetically Modified Organism

Which of the following is NOT a method used in plant breeding?

• Agrobacterium-mediated Transformation

• Cross Pollination

• Mutation Breeding

• Chromosome Doubling

What is a transgenic organism?

• An organism that has been cross-pollinated

• An organism that has undergone mutation breeding

• An organism with doubled chromosomes

• An organism that has had genes from another species introduced into its DNA

What is the main difference between conventional breeding and genetic engineering?

• Conventional breeding cannot change an organism's DNA

• Genetic engineering can only produce transgenic organisms

• Conventional breeding involves sexually compatible partners, while genetic engineering does not

• Conventional breeding uses chemicals, while genetic engineering does not

What was the first genetically engineered crop to be commercialized?

• Bt cotton

• Roundup Ready soybean

• Golden rice

• 'FLAVR SAVR' tomato

What are the two primary traits available in commercial GE crops?

• Disease resistance and drought tolerance

• Longer shelf life and increased yield

• Insect resistance and herbicide tolerance

• Frost resistance and enhanced flavor

What does the National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard define as BE foods?

• Foods that are produced using conventional breeding methods

• Foods that contain detectable genetic material that has been modified through lab techniques

• Foods that are certified under the National Organic Program

• Foods that are served in restaurants

Which of the following is NOT considered a bioengineered food under the National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard?

• Meat products from animals fed bioengineered feed

• Foods without a disclosure label

• Foods from very small food manufacturers

• Foods that have been genetically modified using gene editing

What does DNA stand for?

• Deoxyribonucleic acid

• Dioxyribonucleic acid

• Deoxyribonucleotide acid

• Dinucleotide acid
