One of the major advantages of embryo cloning is:

• genetically uniform offspring

• genetically diverse offspring

• high cost

• low success rates

Brucellosis testing, pregnancy diagnosis testing, and treating scours are applications of:

• bioengineered vaccines.

• bovine somatotropin production.

• embryo transfer.

• monoclonal antibody technology.

The genetics of cloned animals are:

• different

• identical

• randomly mixed

• recessive

Genetically engineered bovine somatotrophin (bST) given to dairy cattle results in:

• increased milk production.

• more fat and weight increases.

• more fat and weight losses.

• reduced milk production.

An area of biotechnology that uses monoclonal antibodies to improve animal health by increasing accuracy and reducing time is:

• diagnostic testing.

• disease prevention.

• embryo transfer.

• parasite prevention.

The major problem that most people have with the use of biotechnology in animal production is the:

• cost of development.

• education needed to use it.

• fear of the unknown.

• profits made by farmers.

The technology that opened the door for biotechnology to be used in animal reproduction is:

• bioengineered vaccines.

• cloning.

• embryo transfer.

• monoclonal antibody technology.

In embryo transfer, the embryos are removed from the female donor by a process called:

• drenching

• flushing

• infusion

• sterilization

A major advantage of embryo transfer is that it speeds the genetic improvement of a herd of beef cattle from the:

• bull

• dam

• siblings

• sire

Removing a nucleus from an embryo before the embryo is implanted in the uterine wall and placing the nucleus into a mature, unfertilized egg cell is nuclear transfer or:

• artificial insemination.

• crossbreeding

• embryo cloning

• palpation
