• a process to create an organism with desired traits from parents with those desired traits

• natural method of producing offspring with desired traits

• creating a new species

• making organisms reproduce during times of stress

The process of making changes in the DNA code of a living organism is called

• selective breeding 

• genetic engineering

• inbreeding

• hybridization

To alter the DNA of an organism in order to get the traits that are desired.

• Genetic Engineering

• Selective Breeding

• Cloning

• Inbreeding

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

• Gene Splicing

• Genetic Screening

• Gene Therapy

• Stem Cell Therapy

The physical insertion of "good" copies of a gene into the cells of a person with a genetic disorder in an attempt to correct the disorder

• Karyotype

• Gene therapy

• Selective breeding

• Cloning

One problem with selective breeding is

• creating a new species

• gene variety is lost

• extinction of a species

Which of the following is a benefit of genetic modification?

• allows infertile couples to have children

• can make crops resistant to diseases

• can screen for genetic defects in children

• can help heal paralysis in patients
