SAVVAS Inv 8 Exp 1 Molecular Technology

The importance of molecular technologies is:

• They help in understanding genetic diseases.

• They are not useful in modern science.

• They have no impact on healthcare.

• They are only used in chemistry.

Breeders can increase the mutation rate of an organism by:

• exposing it to radiation

• providing more nutrients

• increasing its temperature

• reducing its population

Polyploid plants are useful in plant breeding because they:

• have increased genetic diversity

• are more resistant to diseases

• grow faster than diploid plants

• produce larger fruits and flowers

What is the advantage of polyploidy in plants compared to animals?

The purpose of isolating genes in scientific research is to:

• understand gene function and regulation

• create new species

• eliminate genetic diseases

• increase plant growth

Selective breeding is a process used to develop particular traits in plants and animals. How are hybridization and inbreeding related to this process?

• Hybridization involves crossing different species, while inbreeding involves breeding within the same species.

• Hybridization and inbreeding are unrelated to selective breeding.

• Both hybridization and inbreeding are methods of selective breeding.

• Hybridization is a natural process, while inbreeding is a human-controlled process.

A polyploid plant is a plant that has more than two sets of chromosomes. What are the advantages of polyploid plants?

• Increased size and vigor

• Decreased resistance to diseases

• Reduced genetic diversity

• Lower yield potential

The prefix trans means “across,” and generally refers to things being moved from one area to another. How does this prefix help you understand the meaning of the word transgenic?

• It indicates that genes are moved across species.

• It means genes are static and do not move.

• It suggests genes are deleted.

• It implies genes are duplicated.
