Biotechnology

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

• Cloning

• Gel Electrophoresis

• Genetic Engineering

• DNA Fingerprinting

A lab technique used in crime fighting to prove a suspects innocence or guilt is known as:

• genetic engineering
• PCR
• electrophoresis
• gene therapy

What is recombinant DNA?

• Adding DNA from one organism into the DNA of another
• DNA which has been changed over generations by natural selection
• DNA that causes genetic disorders
• DNA that has been sequenced

Why is Dolly the sheep considered a clone?

• the source of Dolly's DNA is a single cell taken from an adult donor

• the DNA molecules in each of Dolly's cells are different

• Dolly has a mix of genes from her foster mother and the sheep that donated a nucleus of one of its cells

• Dolly is genetically identical to her offspring
