Which of these is NOT a use for DNA Fingerprinting?
Identifying the person whose DNA was left at a crime scene
Determining the father of a child
Finding the likelihood of inheriting a genetic disorder
Figuring out which species are more closely related
What does transgenic mean?
An organism that can change its genes at will
A stem cell that can differentiate into anything
An organism that has had another species' DNA put in it
A bacteria that reproduces asexually
Which use of biotechnology most benefits North Carolina agriculture?
producing human vaccines
producing disease resistant crops
producing new medicines from bacteria
producing enzymes to eliminate pollutants
Bacteria cells can be used to produce insulin for the treatment of diabetes in humans. Which best explains how the bacteria cells are able to produce insulin for humans?
The bacteria have been grown on a petri dish containing insulin.
The bacteria have been genetically engineered to contain the DNA needed to produce insulin.
The bacteria have been exposed to radioactivity to create mutant strains capable of producing insulin.
The bacteria have been grown on a petri dish containing sugar; the bacteria produce insulin in response to the sugar.
It is the transfer of genetic material for the purpose of treating human disease.
chemotherapy
gene therapy
gene transfer
gene editing
A/an "_____" gene is introduced into the patient to replace a/an "_____" disease causing gene.
normal - abnormal
good - bad
abnormal - normal
bad - good
A circular piece of DNA, found in bacteria, is called:
A plasmid
mRNA
Ribosome
Nucleotide
Humans with genetic diseases can have a gene inserted into their body using a virus. This is called:
Gene therapy
Cloning
DNA fingerprinting
What is the first cloned mammal?

This is the practice of inserting the DNA of another species into an organism's DNA so that the organism gains a new trait.
Cloning
Gel Electrophoresis
Genetic Engineering
DNA Fingerprinting
This laboratory procedure is known as
CLONING
gel electrophoresis
chromatography
use of a dichotomous key
In preparation for an electrophoresis procedure, enzymes are added to DNA in order to
convert the DNA into gel
cut the DNA into fragments
change the color of the DNA
produce longer sections of DNA
A student performed a gel electrophoresis experiment. The results are represented in the diagram
below. Compared to the fragments at the top of the gel, the fragments at the lower end are
larger, and move slower
larger, and move faster
smaller, and move faster
smaller, and move slower
This technique used to analyze DNA involves the
synthesis of new DNA strands from subunits
separation of DNA fragments based on size
production of genetically engineered DNA molecules
removal of defective genes from DNA

In order for #3 and 4 to go together what must first happen?
They both have to be inserted into a virus.
They both have to be cut with the same restriction enzyme.
They both have to be inserted into a bacteria cell.
They both have to be duplicated by DNA replication.
All are possible negative impacts of GMOs except:
Creation of super weeds - weeds resistant to herbicides.
Possibly have environmental impacts.
Allowing farmers to control pests.
