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

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

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

What does transgenic mean?

• An organism that can change its genes at will

• A stem cell that can differentiate into anything

• An organism that has had another species' DNA put in it

• A bacteria that reproduces asexually
