What is an example of a mutagenic agent

• acetelcholine

• UV Radiation

• maltase

• an amino acid

The physical transfer of a gene from the DNA of one organism into another organism in order to produce an organism with desired traits is called

• Genetic engineering

• Karyotype

• Cloning

• Selective breeding

An organism that is genetically identical to the organism from which it was produced.

• Clone
• Carrier
• Hybridization
• Selective Breeding

The process of selecting a few organisms with desired traits to serve as parents of the next generation.

• Gene Therapy
• Genome
• Selective Breeding
• Pedigree

Selective breeding is...

• a process to create an organism with desired traits from parents with those desired traits

• natural method of producing offspring with desired traits

• creating a new species

• making organisms reproduce during times of stress

Making changes in the DNA of an organism is

• selective breeding
• artificial selection
• genetic engineering
• genetic transformation

What term is used to express creating an identical copy of a gene or organism?

• hybridization
• inbreeding 
• cloning 
• gene splicing 

What process is shown in the picture?

• Gene therapy
• Cloning
• DNA Fingerprinting
• Gene Splicing

Advantages of genetically modified crops include(s)

• insect resistance

• drought/freeze resistance

• higher yield

• all of these are reasons for using GMOs

Why might people be against cloning?

• It is a little creepy

• It can cause unknown defects

• It is detrimental to genetic diversity

• All of the above
