Intro to Biotechnology

A DNA molecule produced by combining DNA from different sources is called?

• Mutant DNA

• Polyploid DNA

• Diploid DNA

• Recombinant DNA

A genetically engineered organism that contains a new gene from a different organism is called?

• Bacterial

• Genetic

• Multigenic

What is gene therapy?

• Inserting copies of a healthy gene directly into cells with a mutated gene

• Producing organisms with identical copies of DNA

• Crossing two individuals that have similar desirable characteristics or traits

• Crossing two individuals that have different characteristics or traits
