All of the following (select all that apply) are examples of genetic technology that humans have used to alter the genomes of organisms.
GM foods
Dog breeding
Gene therapy
Natural selection
Genetic technology will never be able to be used for medical purposes.
True
False
This type of genetic technology is currently being used to try to cure genetic diseases in humans.
Gene therapy
Selective breeding
Genetic engineering
Selective breeding allows humans to pick the most desirable traits of a plant or animal and ensure that those traits are passed on to the offspring.
True
False
This genetic technology introduces DNA from a different species into the genome of another. This gives the engineered species a trait otherwise not available in its own species genome.
Selective Breeding
Animal Husbandry
Genetic Modification
Gene Therapy
The improvement or development of breeds of livestock by selecting mating.
Animal Husbandry
Genetic Technology
Gene Therapy
Selective Breeding
The physical traits of organisms are found within the DNA sequence of that organism. In order to alter an organism's physical trait, the DNA sequence must be altered.
True
False
This type of genetic technology has been done for over 10,000 years.
Artificial Selection
Genetic Engineering
Gene Therapy
Biotechnology
This type of genetic technology is highly controversial because of misinformation and concern over long-term effects.
Selective breeding
Genetic engineering
Gene therapy
Everyone loves genetic technology
The intentional mating of two animals in an attempt to produce offspring with desirable characteristics or for the elimination of a characteristic. Sometimes called artificial selection.
Selective Breeding
Genetically modified organism
Gene therapy
Genetic Engineering
