• transgenic organisms

• restriction enzyme

Organism that contains genes from two different organisms

• gel electrophoresis

• cell transformation

• transgenic organisms

• restriction enzyme

Process where DNA fragments can be separated and analyzed by placing it in a gel and applying an electric current

• gel electrophoresis

• polymerase chain reactions

• recombinant DNA (rDNA)

• clone

New strand of DNA made by inserting the gene of one organisms into the DNA of another.

• gel electrophoresis

• polymerase chain reactions

• recombinant DNA (rDNA)

• clone

A technique used to edit a gene. Can rewrite a damaged gene or cut a gene on or off

• stem cells

• CRISPR

• microarray

• DNA Fingerprinting

Which of the following is NOT an example of genetically modified food

• Wheat with a bacteria gene inserted to stop insects from eating it

• chicken that are born with NOT feathers

• tomatoes with a fish gene that causes to to last longer on the shelf

• Oil eating bacteria

Luther Burbank created a disease resistant potato called the Burbank

potato. He crossed a disease resistant plant with one that had a large food

producing capacity.

• cow

2. Which of the following is not an advantage of GMO?

• GMOs can be used to create more nutritious food such as golden rice.

• GMOs can be used to create pest-resistant crops such as BT eggplant and corn.

• GMOs can be used to create new viruses resistant to medications.

• GMOs can be used to create new medicines that are cruelty free.

What is the exogenous DNA where we recombine our foreign DNA and transfer it back to the bacteria?

• genome
