Genetic Engineering Review

What was the first mammal to be cloned?

• sheep
• goat
• cow
• frog

Dolly the sheep is an example of

• cloning
• selective breeding
• stem cells
• transgenic organisms

What is a GMO?

• An organism that has had its DNA modified by humans

• An organism missing a chromosome

• Epigenetics

• A genetically identical organism

"The modification of characteristics in an organism through the manipulation of genes," describes which term?

• Genetic engineering

• DNA fingerprinting

• Gel electrophoresis

• Cloning

Crops are often genetically engineered for certain traits such as:

• Longer shelf life

• Better appearance

• Increased crop yield

• Shorter growing season

• Insect resistance

Crops are often genetically engineered for improved traits. Such crops and organisms are called:

• Genetically modified organisms

• Clones

• Transformed

• Nutritionally improved

Crops may be genetically modified for pesticide resistance. Which of the following practices is then unnecessary?

• Spraying with pesticides

• Irrigating crops

• Rotating crops

• Harvesting

GMO stands for 

• Genetically modified organism
• Genetically made organism
• Generically made organ
• Generically modified organism

Concerns about genetically modified organisms include(s)

• risk to human health
• may be harmful to ecosystems
• seed/pollen drift to organic farms
• all of these are valid concerns

A genome is all of an organism's _________________.
