This is the practice of producing a genetically identical cell or organism

• Cloning

• Gel Electrophoresis

• Genetic Engineering

• DNA Fingerprinting

A lab technique used in crime fighting to prove a suspects innocence or guilt is known as:

• genetic engineering
• PCR
• gel electrophoresis

• gene therapy

What is recombinant DNA?

• Adding DNA from one organism into the DNA of another

Why is Dolly the sheep considered a clone?

• the source of Dolly's DNA is a single cell taken from an adult donor

• Dolly has a mix of genes from her foster mother and the sheep that donated a nucleus of one of its cells

• Dolly is genetically identical to her offspring

Another name for GMO (Genetically Modified Organsim) is ____________.

• Transgenic
• Transplanted
• Transducted
• Plasmid

Which suspect left the blood stain?

• Bob

• Sue

• John

• Lisa

The laboratory process that makes many copies of DNA

• PCR

• Electrophoresis

• Gene Therapy

The process that has been used for centruries to create purebred animals such as black labs is called

• recombinant DNA

• cloning

• selective breeding

Problems with cloning are

• creating too many embryos that are unneeded

• premature aging and a high failure rate

• they have a tendency to overpopulate

The insertion of a gene of interest into a plasmid is called

• recombinant DNA

• insertion technique

• mutation propagation
