Biology Ch. 13 Review Quiz

This is the process by which desired traits of certain plants and animals are selected and passed on to their future generations.

• natural selection

• selective breeding

• evolution

• electrophoresis

This is the process of crossing organisms with different forms of a trait to produce offspring with specific traits.

• hybridization

• selective breeding

• artificial selection

• inbreeding

This is the process by which 2 closely related organisms are bred to have the desired traits and to eliminate the undesired ones in future generations.

• artificial selection

• hybridization

• inbreeding

• selective breeding

An organism whose genome contains genes from another organism due to genetic engineering is called-

• heterozygous

• inbred

• mutated

• transgenic

This process involves involves creating and maintaining databases of biological information.

• pharmacogenomics

• bioinformatics

• proteomics

• economics

This molecule connects complementary strands DNA.

• reverse tracscriptase

• plasmids

• DNA ligase

• restriction enzymes

This molecule binds to specific DNA sequences and cleave the DNA within the sequence.

• restriction enzyme

• plasmid

• DNA ligase

• reverse transcriptase

This is a common restriction enzyme. (sequence GAATTC).

• reverse transcriptase

• EcoRI

• DNA ligase

• plasmid

These are small, circular, double stranded DNA that occur naturally in bacteria and in yeast cells.

• reverse transcriptase

• restriction enzyme

• DNA ligase

• plasmid

This molecule makes DNA from RNA. 

• reverse transcriptase

• plasmid

• DNA ligase

• restriction enzyme
