Biotech Quiz

Transgenic organisms are those that

• Have undergone natural selection

• Have DNA from more than one species

• Are cloned from another organism

• Have been selectively bred

CRISPR technology is primarily used for

• Cloning

• Gene editing

• Selective breeding

• Gel electrophoresis

Gel electrophoresis is a technique used to

• Edit genes

• Clone organisms

• Separate DNA fragments based on size

• Create transgenic organisms

Stem cell therapy aims to

• Clone stem cells

• Replace or repair damaged cells and tissues

• Modify genes in stem cells

• Selectively breed stem cells

Selective breeding is a process of

• Editing the genes of an organism

• Cloning the best traits in animals

• Choosing parents with specific traits to breed

• Creating genetically modified organisms

In cloning techniques, what is the main difference between therapeutic cloning and reproductive cloning?

• Therapeutic cloning creates identical organisms, while reproductive cloning does not.

• Therapeutic cloning is used to produce cells for therapy, while reproductive cloning is used to create an organism.

• Reproductive cloning uses somatic cells, while therapeutic cloning uses germ cells.

• There is no difference; they are the same process.

Why are transgenic organisms important in biotechnology?

• They can be used to study the effects of gene mutations.

• They produce specific proteins that improve the quality of life.

• They are used exclusively in cloning techniques.

• They help in the process of natural selection.

Adding or deleting segments of genes to correct or get rid of genetic disorders.

• Gene Splicing

• Genetic Screening

• Gene Therapy

• Stem Cell Therapy

Transgenic means that DNA from ___________ has been added

• A different species

• The same species

• Farmed

• used for gene therapy

When two organisms that have very similar or the same characteristics are mated resulting in the prevalence of genetic disorders.

• Hybridization

• Cloning

• Inbreeding

• Gene Splicing
