Genetic Engineering: Quizizz #2

Over time,

humans have begun developing different types of technologies to control

this process themselves by choosing which traits are desirable to humans

and have learned how to control which genes are passed from parent to

offspring. This process is called

• Artificial Selection

• Genetic Engineering

• Gene Therapy

• Genetic Manipulation

This is a process that

could help treat or reverse genetic disorders & abnormalities, including cancer.

• Genetic Engineering

• Gene Therapy

• Genetic Modification

Some concerns with genetically

modified foods include all EXCEPT for which of the following

• development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria

• production of new allergens

• accidental cross-contamination

• accidental cross-pollination

being created in a laboratory and then implanted into a human cell’s DNA in the nucleus where there may be a

missing or nonworking gene is known as

Which is not an accurate statement about the ways humans influence the traits of populations? 

• Genetic engineering can be more precise and faster than artificial selection.

• Artificial selection increases desired traits in a population through breeding.

• Both artificial selection and genetic engineering allow humans to influence populations.

• Both artificial selection and genetic engineering can introduce new genes not already existing in the population.
