Genetic Technology

All of the following (select all that apply) are examples of genetic technology that humans have used to alter the genomes of organisms.

• GM foods

• Dog breeding

• Gene therapy

• Natural selection

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

This type of genetic technology is currently being used to try to cure genetic diseases in humans.

• Gene therapy

• Selective breeding

• Genetic engineering

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS4-5

This genetic technology introduces DNA from a different species into the genome of another. This gives the engineered species a trait otherwise not available in its own species genome.

• Selective Breeding

• Animal Husbandry

• Genetic Modification

• Gene Therapy

The physical traits of organisms are found within the DNA sequence of that organism. In order to alter an organism's physical trait, the DNA sequence must be altered.

• True

• False

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

This type of genetic technology is highly controversial because of misinformation and concern over long-term effects.

• Selective breeding

• Genetic engineering

• Gene therapy

• Everyone loves genetic technology

Genetic technology will never be able to be used for medical purposes.

• True

• False

This type of genetic technology has been done for over 10,000 years.

• Artificial Selection

• Genetic Engineering

• Gene Therapy

• Biotechnology
