Question 1

Artificial Insemination (Ai)

Answer 1

collecting and
concentrating sperm from a male and placing it in
the reproductive system of a female

Question 2

In vitro fertilization (IVF)

Answer 2

sperm and eggs are
collected in a test tube and fertilization occurs. The
developing embryos are implanted into the uterus of
the female

TEST TUBE BABY

Question 3

gene cloning

Answer 3

transfer gene –> bacteria so it reproduces easily.

1. isolate dna and choose vector
2. cut plasmid & insert gene
3. put into bacteria
4. reproduce

Question 4

Therapeutic cloning

Answer 4

harvesting embryonic stem cells/adult stem cells
to create new cells, tissues, or organs identical to donor

Question 5

Induced Pluripotent Stems Cells (iPSCs)

Answer 5

Take specialized cells and DE-DIFFERENTIATE them back into stem cells aka induced pluripotent stem cells

Question 6

human embryonic stem cells

Answer 6

come from blastocyst but ruin the chance of that baby becoming alive

Question 7

gene therapy

Answer 7

Replacing an absent or faulty gene (segment of DNA) with a functioning gene that can produce a desired protein

Question 8

gene editing

Answer 8

Specific portions of DNA
can be targeted, removed
and subsequently replaced

Question 9

transgenic techniques

Answer 9

transfer genes from one species to another
