Genetic Engineering

A molecule containing DNA from two different organisms is called

• a plasmid.
• a polyploid.
• a hybrid organism.
• recombinant DNA.

Genes found on DNA contain the instructions for making  

• pyrimidines 
  
• pyrimidines
• proteins
• purines

Any change or mistake in DNA replication can cause a ________  

• cancer cell 
  
• virus
• disease
  
• mutation

simple ring of DNA from prokaryotes

• plasmid
• restriction enzymes
• recombinant DNA
• gene

Look at the image and choose the correct name...

• DNA ligases

• Recombinant DNA

• Restriction enzymes

Recombinant DNA objective is ......

• To give a new characteristic

• To eliminate a characteristic

• To give a manipuation

• To eliminate a protein

"transgenic" refers to an animal that:

• Has DNA from another organism spliced into its genome

• Has undergone DNA modification

• Has unique genes for its species

In which ways can genetic engineering can improve crops

• Make them pest or drought resistant

• Make them more nutritious

• Make them larger

• All answers are correct

Putting the gene for bioluminescence into a fish is an example of...

• Genetic Engineering

Concerns about genetically modified organisms include(s)

• risk to human health
• may be harmful to ecosystems
• seed/pollen drift to organic farms
• all of these are valid concerns
