GM 21.2

Some chemicals can be used to create polyploid plants, which often result in larger plants that grow faster. How is this done?

• they prevent the separation of chromosomes in meiosis

• they increase the separation of chromosomes in mitosis

• they cause additional replication during interphase

• they increase the mutation load on the DNA

This technology allows us to do cool things such as "reprogram" bacteria to make important medicines for us

• selective breeding

• cloning

• polyploidy

• recombinant DNA

Explain how humans have altered the genes of living things over time.

• Through selective breeding and genetic engineering

• By natural selection

• By environmental changes

• Through random mutations

What is selective breeding?

• A method of breeding that allows only the strongest animals to reproduce

• A process of choosing specific plants or animals to reproduce based on desired traits

• A technique used to clone animals

• A natural process of evolution

What is the second step in Gene Cloning?

• Isolation of DNA

• Insertion of DNA into the vector

• Amplification of recombinant DNA

• Selection of recombinant cells

What is the third step in Gene Cloning?

• Isolation of DNA

• Insertion of DNA into the vector

• Ligation of DNA fragment

• Transformation of host cells

What is gene cloning?

• The process of creating identical copies of DNA

• A method of sequencing genes

• A technique for editing genes

• A way to study gene expression

Transgenic crops offer benefits like increased yield, pest resistance, and improved _______ content.

• nutritional

• water

• fiber

• sugar

What is Diabetes?

• A chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar

• A type of cancer

• A viral infection

• A mental disorder

The process of changing the genetic material of a living organism 

• Genetic Modification
• Taxonomy
• Adapting
• Bioremediation
