El proceso de realizar cambios en el ADN de un organismo se conoce como?

• Ingeniería Genética

• Hibridación

• Recombinación de ADN

• Huella genética

Answer explanation

The process of making changes in an organism's DNA is called Genetic Engineering. This technique allows scientists to modify genetic material to achieve desired traits, distinguishing it from other processes like hybridization or DNA fingerprinting.

Los humanos decidiendo qué rasgos de plantas o animales quieren en una futura descendencia se conoce como....

• Biotecnología

• Crianza Selectiva

• Transformación

• Transgénicos

Answer explanation

Selective breeding is the process where humans choose specific traits in plants or animals to produce desired characteristics in future offspring, making it the correct answer.

Un grupo de células u organismos genéticamente idénticos.

• Donante

• Clon

• Terapia génica

• Cruza interna

Answer explanation

A clone is a group of genetically identical cells or organisms, produced asexually. This distinguishes it from terms like donor or gene therapy, which do not specifically refer to identical genetic copies.

Un tipo de transformación que da como resultado un organismo que contiene genes de diferentes especies.

• Hibridación

• ADN recombinante

• Transgénico

Answer explanation

Transgenic organisms are created by introducing genes from different species, resulting in a new organism with traits from both. This distinguishes them from hybridization, which involves breeding within the same species.

Un proyecto que analiza el orden de las bases de todos los genes en el ADN humano.

• Proyecto Genoma Humano

• Terapia Génica

• Clonación

Answer explanation

The Human Genome Project was a landmark scientific endeavor that mapped the entire human DNA sequence, analyzing the order of bases in all human genes. This distinguishes it from gene therapy and cloning, which focus on different aspects.

Si NO hay variación genética en una población de organismos es porque son ........

• clones

• transgénicos

• híbridos

• endogámicos

Answer explanation

If there is no genetic variation in a population, it indicates that all individuals are genetically identical, which is characteristic of clones. Clones arise from asexual reproduction, leading to uniformity in genetic makeup.

Todos tienen una ______________ que es única para el individuo

• huella digital de ADN

• personalidad

• fragmento más grande

Answer explanation

Everyone has a DNA fingerprint that is unique to the individual, making it the correct choice. While personality is also unique, the phrase specifically refers to a biological identifier.

¿Por qué usamos los humanos la cría selectiva?

• crear clones

• crear mutantes

• crear organismos con rasgos deseados

Answer explanation

Humans use selective breeding to create organisms with desired traits, such as improved yield, disease resistance, or specific physical characteristics, rather than creating clones or mutants.

Los caballos de carreras, los perros de diseño y las vacas de alta producción de leche son todos debido a

• Crianza selectiva

• Recombinación de ADN

• Transformación

• Clonación

Answer explanation

Race horses, designer dogs, and high milk production cows are all results of selective breeding, which involves choosing specific animals to reproduce based on desired traits, enhancing those traits in future generations.

¿Qué tipo de ADN contiene ADN de 2 organismos diferentes?

• ADN transcrito

• ADN recombinante

• ADN clonado

Answer explanation

Recombinant DNA is formed by combining DNA from two different organisms, allowing for the study and manipulation of genes. This distinguishes it from transcribed or cloned DNA, which do not involve two distinct sources.
