Selective breeding is done for which of the following reasons?

To allow people to breed organisms to obtain desired traits.

To determine the possible outcome of a genetic cross.

So that organisms won't change their traits.

If an organism is called a hybrid, what alleles does it have?

One dominant and one recessive allele

This Punnett square shows a cross between ---

A hybrid parent and a homozygous parent

A heterozygous parent and a heterozygous parent

Why is DNA important?

it serves as the blueprint for traits of all living things

it is very small and very complicated

because we eat it every day for energy

What determines the code, or information, of a DNA molecule?

the order (sequence) of the nitrogen bases

the shape (structure) of the nitrogen bases

the color of the nitrogen bases

the frequency (number) of nitrogen bases

Why do farmers choose to use GM crops rather than regular crops?

They are more productive (can grow more crops quickly or more efficiently).

They are safer because they have no disadvantages.

If you want to make a GM crop that is purple, what is the first thing you need to do?

Find a plant that is naturally purple.

Use an enzyme to cut a gene out of a plant.

Use a virus to insert a gene into a plant.

What is one significant issue with many Genetically Modified Organisms?

They may affect other organisms in their environment.

They are too expensive to be useful.

They might evolve more quickly.

What is a major advantage to Genetically Modified Organisms?

Can make organisms not found in nature
