Bioremediation and Biotechnology Quiz

In the context of bioremediation, how does biotechnology contribute to pollution cleanup?

• Biotechnology contributes to pollution cleanup by creating new, more harmful pollutants.
• Biotechnology contributes to pollution cleanup by increasing the amount of pollutants released into the environment.
• Biotechnology contributes to pollution cleanup by depleting the natural resources needed for cleanup.
• By developing synthetic microbes that can degrade pollutants

How has CRISPR-Cas9 revolutionized genetic research in the lab of Dr. Smith, where Sophia and Charlotte work on modifying DNA sequences for disease research?

• CRISPR-Cas9 causes mutations that are harmful for research
• CRISPR-Cas9 enables targeted modification of DNA sequences for disease research.
• By allowing precise modifications of

  DNA sequences, facilitating targeted disease research

• CRISPR-Cas9 only works on plants, not humans
