A racehorse owner wants to make an exact copy of her champion horse. Which type of biotechnology should he use to get the results she wants?

• Natural Selection

• Artificial Selection

• Cloning

• Genetic Engineering

Which process uses a body cell to create a new organism?

• Crossbreeding 
• cloning 
• genetic modification 
• gene splicing 

Maria owns a female dog. Her dog has been a champion at several dog shows. When it is time for Maria’s dog to produce puppies, Maria carefully chooses the traits of the male dog who will be the father of the puppies. In this way, she hopes to produce puppies that can also win championships. What form of biotechnology is this?

• Cloning

• Genetic Engineering

• Artificial Selection

• Natural Selcction

Scientists use genetic engineering in many ways. One common method is the insertion of a gene into the genome of an organism. Which BEST summarizes the goal of this type of biotechnology?

• To produce many identical organisms

• To add a desired trait to the organism's characteristics.

• To gradually change the traits of a group of organisms.

• To learn the DNA sequence of the individual organism.

Scientists modified a common strain of rice by inserting the carotene gene from carrots. The result was a rice enriched with vitamin-A, a crucial vitamin for humans. What process enabled this new variety of rice?

• artificial selection

• cloning

• genetic engineering

1. The process of choosing parent organisms for desired characteristics is called

• natural selection

• Artificial selection

• random selection

• genetic manipulation
