recombinant breeding
Which process separates segments of DNA based on its size and produces a DNA fingerprint
Gel Electrophoresis
Cloning
Human Genome Project
Hybridization
The purpose of the Human Genome Project was to
Map out all of the genes in human DNA
Combine human DNA with other organisms
Create superhumans
The process in which an organism is genetically identical to its parent is known as
Cloning
Hybridization
DNA fingerprinting
Kayrotyping
Recombinant DNA is
any combination of DNA from 2 or more organisms
used in the mapping of the human genome project
the process of separating DNA based on size
DNA which contains small fragments of RNA
What process could cure genetic disorders by replacing defective genes with working ones?
cloning
nondisjunction
gene therapy
gel electrophoresis
Bacteria that have altered by inserting a frog gene into their DNA is an example of
a mutation
gene therapy
cloning
a transgenic organism
A picture taken of chromosomes that is used to view chromosomal disorders is called a
karyotype
clone
DNA fingerprint
recombinant DNA
What gender is the person in this karyotype?
male
female
This chart, that shows genetic relationships within families is called a
DNA fingerprint
Pedigree
Genome
Karyotype
In a pedigree chart, an empty circle represents
a "normal" female
an affected female
a "normal" male
an affected male
What is the relationship between person I-2 and III-6?
Mother/Son

Antibiotics are used to treat viral infections
true
false - Vaccines are used to treat viral infections
Breeding for specific characteristics, such as a small size, is called
selective breeding
hybridization
cloning
transgenic organisms
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
