Why did scientists edit the genes of bacteria to produce insulin?
Because the bacteria were diabetic
Because bacteria have simple DNA that is easier to manipulate, making it easy to produce insulin in a lab
Because bacteria's complex DNA was perfect for insulin production
Because insulin has no use outside of a lab setting
Bacterial DNA forms a _ and human DNA forms a (a) .
This is the practice of choosing individuals of a species to mate based on their desirable characteristics
Bacterial recombination
Natural selection
Genetic modification
Selective breeding
What is the process in which an unspecialized stem cell turns into a specialized body cell?
DNA Replication
Differentiation
Respiration
Genetic Modification
During gel electrophoresis, the _______ pieces of DNA move farthest down the gel
Smallest
Biggest
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
In what way is biotechnology useful to law enforcement agencies such as the police or FBI?
It can help identify who was present at the scene of a crime.
It can help undercover officers disguise themselves.
It might help determine who might be the victime of a future crime.
It can help determine who is most likely to become a criminal in the future.
How can agricultural biotechnology have a positive impact on the environment?
By developing crops that are pest resistant requiring fewer pesticides to be used.
planting crops in shaded areas.
Harvesting crops that have thick stems and leaves.
water crops with a recycled irrigation system.
Scientists implant a gene into a species of tomato plant that makes them ripen faster and stay firm as they are transported to stores. What is the benefit of this technology?
Increased toxins in the food.
Increase shelf life and availablity.
Decreased size of tomatoes.
Increased seed production
What would be a negative side of genetically modified foods?
Lower cost of production.
Long-term health effects, such as possible allergies to proteins not found in foods before GMO’s.
Ability to produce more food in less time.
Ability to grow more nutritious food in less time.

Which is a concern of scientists when genetically modifying plants?
Plants will pass on diseases to animals.
There will be a decrease in biodiversity.
Plants will have a longer growing season.
There will be a decrease in revenue for pesticide manufacturers.
Which answer BEST describes a controversial issue associated with the use of genetically modified crops (GMO)?
The use of genetically modified crops to increase potential yield.
The short term use of genetically modified crops in famine stricken countries.
The development of genetically modified crops which are resistant to herbicides.
The long term effects which may arise from the use of genetically modified crops.
A genome is...
...part of a chromosome.
...a gene inserted into a chromosome of bacteria.
...a short segment of DNA.
...the complete sequence of an organism’s DNA.
Correcting a mutation in a virus and then delivering the virus to a person with a genetic disorder.
Altering fruit crops to include a gene that codes for swetter taste.
Modifying E. coli to produce indigo dye for coloring denim blue jeans.
Frost (a thin layer of ice that forms on surfaces) can destroy crops because they get too cold, causing farmers to lose money. But, GMO strawberries have been genetically modified to resist frost. How will this benefit farmers?
The strawberries will become pest resistant.
The strawberries will grow larger.
The strawberries will be easier to harvest.
The strawberries can grow in the winter.
Dolly is a sheep produced by cloning. Which of the following is a difference between Dolly the cloned sheep and animals produced by sexual reproduction?
The DNA molecules in each of Dolly's cells are different.
Dolly will be genetically identical to her offspring (children),
Dolly has a mix of genes from her mother and father.
Dolly's DNA comes from one single cell.
When bacteria are able to resist the effects of antibiotics that are made to kill or control them, the bacteria become...
Antibiotic Resistant
Vaccinated
Genetically Modified Organism
Pesticide
How does Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) edit DNA? Check ALL that apply.
CRISPR chemically changes A's to C's
CRISPR cuts the DNA and the cell makes errors when it tries to fix the broken DNA
CRISPR cuts the DNA and the cell can use a similar DNA sequence as a template to try to fix the DNA
CRISPR changes all PAM's so that they are no longer able to be recognized
This is the practice of inserting the DNA of another species into an organism's DNA so that the organism gains a new trait.
