Unit 6- Biotechnology Practice

The manipulation of DNA is called

• Genetic engineering
• Karyotype
• Plasmid
• Gel electrophoresis

Genetically engineered crops are currently being grown by many farmers. What would be an argument AGAINST them?

• It produces insect-resistant plants.
• Its long-term effects on humans are still being investigated.
• The crops produced do not taste very good.
• It increases daily crop production.

This diagram represents which of the following? 

• Gel electrophoresis
• Gene therapy
• Cloning 
• Genetic engineering

The gene that is taken from one organism and inserted into another is called

• Plasmid
• Recombinant DNA
• Restriction enzyme
• Cloning

Small supplemental circles of DNA that can be exchanged between bacteria or imported from the environment are called

• Restriction enzyme
• Cloning
• Plasmid
• RNA

This cuts DNA at specific sequences

• Plasmid
• Recombinant DNA
• Restriction enzyme
• Gel electrophoresis

Glofish were made by inserting the genetic code for a glowing protein from jellyfish into a regular fish. Which statement best explains why this works?

• All marine creatures have the ability to produce glowing proteins to survive in the water
• In addition to the genetic code, glofish take the glowing protein from the jellyfish
• The genetic code is universal so the glofish can make the jellyfish protein
• Glofish cannot translate jellyfish proteins, so they inherited the trait from other fish

This is how a genetically modified organism is made

• Translation
• Transformation
• Mutation
• Restriction enzyme

A scientist cloned a goat. Which of these is a true statement about the cloned goat?

• It has new genes and traits
• It lacks the genes for reproduction
• It has the genes that are identical to the original goat
• It looks the same but has different genes.
