Module 24 & 25 - Genetic Engineering

What is genetic engineering?

• The practice of inbreeding

• The direct manipulation of an organism's genes using biotechnology

• The study of Earth and Life Science

• The process of selective breeding

What is the process of creating an organism that is an exact genetic copy of another?

• Selective breeding

• Gene splicing

• Cloning

• Artificial selection

Which technique involves the DNA being cut out of one organism and put into another organism?

• Gel electrophoresis

• Gene splicing

• Cloning

• Artificial selection

What is the technique of breeding organisms that are genetically similar to maintain desired traits?

• Cloning

• Gene splicing

• Inbreeding

• Artificial selection

Which technique is used to compare DNA from two or more organisms?

• Artificial selection

• Cloning
