Genetics

The purpose of selective breeding is to 

• Get bigger animals
• get smaller animals
• create animals with desirable traits
• create animals with bad traits

Problems with selective breeding include

• Better animals
• More Meat
• Animals can have bad health problems
• more diversity

The transfer of a gene from the DNA of one organism into another organism in order to produce an organism with desired traits.

• Genetic Engineering
• Karyotype
• Pedigree
• Genome

A clone is 

• recombinant DNA
• a transgenic organsim
• plasmid
• genetically identical 

When a nucleotide is added to a DNA sequence, which of the following will occur?

• Point Mutation

• Silent Mutation

• Frameshift Mutation

• Gene Duplication
