MT 7: DNA Technology Review Game

Every cell in our body (with the exception of sex cells) contains all 46 chromosomes, or our entire genome, so why do we have different types of cells then if they contain the same informations?

• Only some chromosomes actually work in each cell

• Gene regulation, in which certain genes are activated, allow cells to only use the genes needed for each cell's specialization

• Each cell has different chromosomes with different genes

• Genetic promotion, in which all genes are activated and then some get turned back off, allows cells to only use some genes

Which of the following is FALSE?

• All living things have DNA

• Genes are always expressed if they are in our DNA

• DNA provides the instructions for creating proteins which express our traits

• Genes can be transferred from one species to another

• Introns, Exons

• Exons, Introns

• Exxons, Interruptions

• Interruptions, Exxons

What is the definition of genetic engineering?

• Studying the DNA of plants and animals

• Making changes in the DNA code of living organisms

• The discovery of DNA Using DNA to reproduce organisms

• Using DNA to reproduce organisms
