Why do scientists use bacteria to genetically modify a crop?

Bacteria can cause disease (i.e. can attack!) in plants & easily enter the plant's cells.

Bacteria has the ability to transfer a portion of its DNA into plant cells.

The bacteria plasmid is a vector with the gene of interest & helps to incorporate its DNA with the crop's DNA.

What is transformation ?

The process of the gene of interest being taken into the host cell's DNA & being expressed on the outside of the cell.

The process of cutting DNA with restriction enzymes.

The process of the gene of interest being put in the vector.

The process selecting a gene of interest to cut with restriction enzymes.

Which sequence below best represents the steps to making a GMO?

Isolate the gene of interest, add gene of interest to vector, copy vector through mitosis in bacteria cell, add bacteria to plant cells, copy plant cells through mitosis, & test final product after growth period

Add gene of interest to vector, copy vector through mitosis in bacteria cell, add bacteria to plant cells, copy plant cells through mitosis, isolate the gene of interest, & test final product after growth period

Copy vector through mitosis in bacteria cell, isolate the gene of interest, add gene of interest to vector, add bacteria to plant cells, copy plant cells through mitosis, & test final product after growth period

Test final product after growth period, isolate the gene of interest, add gene of interest to vector, copy vector through mitosis in bacteria cell, add bacteria to plant cells, & copy plant cells through mitosis

Which would NOT be a reason to use GM crops?

Using GM crops can increase pesticide resistance in pests.

Using GM crops can increase crop yields.

Using GM crops can reduce use of insecticide sprays.

Using GM crops may be able to feed more people faster.

What is sustainability?

Meeting the needs of the community NOW and planning for the needs of the community in the FUTURE.

Meeting the needs of the community NOW only.

Meeting the needs of the community in the FUTURE only.

Both the positive and negative outcome of a decision.

What is a trade-off ?

Both the positive and negative outcome of a decision.

The positive outcome of a decision only.

The negative outcome of a decision only.

Trading Pokemon cards with your lunch friends.

How might scientists check to make sure their GMO worked?

Add a fluorescent (glowing) gene (with the gene of interest) to see if the final product glows

Add another gene (with the gene of interest), like a resistance to herbicide gene, to test for its addition in the final product.

Add pests to the final product to see if they live or die!
