Identifying Mutations

What process could cure genetic disorders by replacing defective genes with working ones?

• cloning

• nondisjunction

• gene therapy

• gel electrophoresis

Many organisms that are bred for specific characteristics are inbred. What is the problem with inbreeding?

• decreases genetic variation & leads to mutations

• increases genetic variation

• creates hybrids

• creates transgenic organisms
