Genetic Engineering Quiz

Organisms that have transferred DNA from a different species are called

• genetically modified organisms

• transgenic organisms

• both a and b

• none of a and b

It is a process in which animals with desired characteristics are mated to produce offspring with the desired traits.

• cloning

• hybridization

• inbreeding

• selective breeding

It is a process of creating an organism that has an exact genetic copy of another.

• artificial selection

• cloning

• gene splicing

• selective breeding

It is a process where a DNA is cut out from one organism and put into another organism.

• cloning

• gene splicing

• gel electrophoresis

• selective breeding

A technology used in genetic engineering where DNA molecules from two different species are combined.

• DNA Recombinant technology

• Recombinant DNA technology

• both a and b

• none of a and b

This refers to the DNA molecule that can replicate independently.

• bacteriophage

• enzymes

• plasmid

• vector

It is produced when two different nucleotides had been fused as one.
