Which kitten is most likely the offspring of this cat?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

Which of these is NOT a use for DNA Fingerprinting?

• Identifying the person whose DNA was left at a crime scene

• Determining the father of a child

• Finding the likelihood of inheriting a genetic disorder

• Figuring out which species are more closely related

Why did scientists edit the genes of bacteria to produce insulin?

• Because the bacteria were diabetic

• Because bacteria have simple DNA that is easier to manipulate, making it easy to produce insulin in a lab

• Because bacteria's complex DNA was perfect for insulin production

• Because insulin has no use outside of a lab setting

Bacterial DNA is _________ than human DNA

• More simple

• Less simple

• uglier

• deadlier

This is the practice of choosing individuals of a species to mate based on their desirable characteristics

• Bacterial recombination

• Natural selection

• Genetic modification

• Selective breeding

Which of these is the correct definition of genetic modification/genetic engineering?

• Choosing individuals to mate based on desired characteristics

• Observing genetic changes in populations over time based on adaptive traits

• Extracting stem cells to differentiate into specialized tissues

• Altering the DNA of an organism at the molecular level

During gel electrophoresis, the _______ pieces of DNA move farthest down the gel

• lightest

• heaviest

• ugliest

• deadliest
