Biotechnology (H.5a, H.5b)

The process of making changes in an organism's DNA is known as?

• Genetic Engineering

• Hybridization

• DNA Recombination

• DNA

  Fingerprinting

Answer explanation

The correct answer is Genetic Engineering because it involves making changes in an organism's DNA.

A group of genetically identical cells or organisms.

• Donor

• Clone

• Gene Therapy

• In-breed

Answer explanation

A group of genetically identical cells or organisms is called a clone, making 'Clone' the correct choice.

A project that analyzes the order of bases for all the genes in the human DNA.

• Human Genome Project

• Gene Therapy

• Cloning

Answer explanation

The correct answer is the Human Genome Project, as it specifically focuses on analyzing the order of bases for all the genes in the human DNA.

If there is NO genetic variation in a population of organisms it is because they are ........

• clones

• transgenic

• hybrids

• in-breed

Answer explanation

If there is NO genetic variation in a population of organisms, it is because they are clones, meaning they are exact genetic copies of each other.

What does a gel electrophoresis due for those that are studying DNA?

• separating DNA into fragments

• making copies of DNA

• removing DNA from a cells nucleus

Answer explanation

Gel electrophoresis separates DNA into fragments by size, helping researchers study and analyze the DNA.

What type of DNA fragment will move the farthest in a gel electrophoresis?

• Large

• Small

• Dense

• Medium

Answer explanation

Small DNA fragments will move the farthest in gel electrophoresis due to their size and ability to travel through the gel matrix more quickly.

In order for there to be DNA fragments, __________ must be used to help create the

• restriction enzymes

• virtual scissors

• gel electrophoresis

• DNA helicase

Answer explanation

Restriction enzymes are used to help create DNA fragments by cutting the DNA at specific sequences.

Everyone has a ______________ is unique to the indivi

• DNA fingerprint

• personality

• larger fragment

Answer explanation

The correct answer is 'DNA fingerprint' because everyone has a unique DNA fingerprint that distinguishes them from others.

What type of DNA contains DNA from 2 different organisms?

• Transcribed DNA

• Recombinant DNA

• Cloned DNA

Answer explanation

Recombinant DNA is the type of DNA that contains DNA from 2 different organisms through the process of genetic engineering.

When analyzing a DNA fingerprint, what are you looking at?

• DNA fragments

• RNA Fragments

Answer explanation

When analyzing a DNA fingerprint, you are looking at DNA fragments, not RNA fragments.
