Biotechnology & Genetics AFTER Mendel

Humans using their knowledge of biological processes to solve problems is called

• DNA

• biotechnology

• mitosis

• Punnett squares

Humans directly change the DNA of organisms to produce a brand new trait. This is called:

• genetic engineering

• selective

  or

  artificial

  breeding

• gene therapy

• cloning

Humans make copies of genetic material (gene or DNA) or entire organisms This is called:

• genetic engineering

• selective

  or

  artificial

  breeding

• gene therapy

• cloning

Humans choose organisms to breed based on desired characteristics.

This is called:

• genetic engineering

• selective or

  artificial breeding

• gene therapy

• cloning

Humans using new medical treatment that to treat or prevent certain disorders and diseases. This is called:

• genetic engineering

• selective or

  artificial breeding

• gene therapy

• cloning

Many foods that I eat are GMOs (genetically modified organisms).

• TRUE

• FALSE

What do you look for to know if a trait is showing polygenic inheritance?

• MANY possibilities due to MANY genes coding for that trait

• an EVEN BLEND or mixture of 2 alleles

• SPOTS, SPECKLES, PATTERNS with both alleles showing

What do you look for to know if a trait is showing incomplete dominance?

• MANY possibilities due to MANY genes coding for that trait

• an EVEN BLEND or mixture of 2 alleles

• SPOTS, SPECKLES, PATTERNS with both alleles showing

What do you look for to know if a trait is showing codominance?

• MANY possibilities due to MANY genes coding for that trait

• an EVEN BLEND or mixture of 2 alleles

• SPOTS, SPECKLES, PATTERNS with both alleles showing

An example of codominance.
