This is the practice of inserting the DNA of another species into an organism's DNA so that the organism gains a new trait.

• Cloning

• Gel Electrophoresis

• Genetic Engineering

• DNA Fingerprinting

This is the practice of producing a genetically identical cell or organism

• Cloning

• Gel Electrophoresis

• Genetic Engineering

• DNA Fingerprinting

This is the process of creating a unique image of an individual's alleles based on their size and using that image to identify an individual's DNA

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

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

• Choosing individuals to mate based on desired characteristics

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
