Genetic Engineering

Genetic Engineering is used to

• make DNA

• make RNA

• Only treat diseases

• Make mutations that can help people or the environment

Recombinant DNA is when a scientist puts a human gene into a ______________to produce the protein needed to treat a disease.

• Virus

• Bacteria

• DNA

• RNA

Once the desired gene is put into the bacteria plasmid, it is then put into a ________________to be fed and copies itself.

• Fermentation tank

• Bacteria

• Virus

• RNA strand

Recombinant DNA can used to make

• DNA

• RNA

• Insulin

• Cancer

Genetic Engineering is used to

• Treat Diseases

• Make GMOs

• Improve quality of life

• All of the above

Gene therapy is when a human gene is put into a ___________ to help treat diseases

• virus

• bacteria

• plasmid

• DNA

When the DNA is carefully selected to correct the effect of a mutated gene that is causing disease.

• Mitosis

• Meiosis

• Gene Therapy

• Protein Synthesis

Gene therapy treatment is given to patients with diseases like cystic fibrosis

• by blood transfusions

• through breathing treatments

• by Recombinant DNA

• by Gene therapy

A circular piece of DNA, found in bacteria, is called:

• A plasmid

• mRNA

• Ribosome

• Nucleotide

Humans with genetic diseases can have a gene inserted into their body using a virus. This is called:

• Gene therapy

• cloning

• DNA fingerprinting

• Recombinant DNA
