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
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 is _________ than human DNA
More simple
Less simple
uglier
deadlier
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
Which of these is the correct definition of genetic modification/genetic engineering?
Choosing individuals to mate based on desired characteristics
Observing genetic changes in populations over time based on adaptive traits
Extracting stem cells to differentiate into specialized tissues
Altering the DNA of an organism at the molecular level
What is the process in which an unspecialized stem cell turns into a specialized body cell?
DNA Replication
Differentiation
Respiration
Genetic Modification
