molecular scissors that "cut' DNA

• plasmid
• restriction enzymes
• recombinant DNA
• gene

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

• A plasmid

• mRNA

How many sheep were required to create Dolly?

• 3

• 2

• 1

• 0

How might cloning eventually help humans live longer?

• Clones tend to live longer than the parent organism

• Cloned human organs could replace unhealthy ones

• By being cloned multiple times, a person could essentially live forever

• The food obtained from cloned organisms would be healthier than ordinary food
