Explain the concept of genetic drift in population genetics.

• Genetic drift is the process of genes moving between different species

• Genetic drift is the change in the frequency of a gene variant (allele) in a population due to random sampling of organisms.

• Genetic drift is the result of natural selection in a population

• Genetic drift is the intentional manipulation of genes in a population

Discuss the ethical considerations of genetic engineering.

• There are no potential risks for future generations from genetic engineering

• Ethical considerations of genetic engineering include potential impact on individuals, society, environment, and future generations.

• Genetic engineering has no impact on society or the environment

• Ethical considerations of genetic engineering are not important

Explain the process of gene editing in genetic engineering.

• Gene editing is done by mixing different organisms' DNA together.

• Gene editing is a natural process that occurs without human intervention.

• The process of gene editing involves making precise changes to an organism's DNA using molecular tools.

• The process of gene editing involves changing an organism's physical appearance.

What are the potential applications of genetic engineering in agriculture?

• Creating crops with improved resistance to pests and diseases.

• Reducing crop yield through genetic engineering

• Decreasing the nutritional content of crops through genetic engineering

• Using genetic engineering to create crops with reduced resistance to pests and diseases
