GENETIC ENGINEERING

Question 1

Carries the genetic information in all living organisms.

Answer 1

DNA

Question 2

a single stranded type of nucleic acids that’s mostly involved in protein synthesis

Answer 2

RNA

Question 3

is a problem molecule that catalyzes biochemical reaction.

Answer 3

enzymes

Question 4

circular, double-stranded DNA molecule.

Answer 4

plasmid

Question 5

facilitates the formation of the phosphodiester bond that forms the DNA structure. (Responsible for formation/bonding)

Answer 5

DNA ligase

Question 6

is a process that uses laboratory-based technologies to alter the DNA makeup of an organism.

Answer 6

genetic engineering

Question 7

genetic engineering is also called

Answer 7

genetic modification

Question 8

2 types of genetic engineering

Answer 8

1. classical breeding
2. recombinant DNA technology

Question 9

The practice of mating or breeding selected organisms with desirable.

Answer 9

classical breeding

Question 10

4 steps in classical breeding

Answer 10

1. Determine which trait are significant enough to be chosen.
2. Select parents that exemplify the desirable traits.
3. Choose the best offspring from parents to produce the next generation.
4. Repeat the process.

Question 11

examples of classical breeding

Answer 11

bulldog and shih tzu mix
guapple
wagyu beef

Question 12

Is a series of techniques used to manipulate and isolate DNA segments of interest.

Answer 12

recombinant dna technology

Question 13

5 steps of recombinant dna technology

Answer 13

1. We need two variables DNA Containing the “gene of interest” and a Bacterial plasmid;
2. We need to cut and open the Bacterial plasmid by “restriction enzyme”;
3. Insert the gene of interest into the open plasmid by DNA ligase.
4. Then you can now have RECOMBINANT DNA. Afterwards, Insert the Recombinant DNA to the bacterial cell.
5. Then isolate the bacteria for it to multiply

Question 14

Question 15

resistant to corn-borer disease

Answer 15

bacilus thuringiensis

Question 16

resistant to eggplant fruit and shoot borer

Answer 16

bacilus thuringiensis

Question 17

aims to fix a faulty gene or replace it with a healthy gene to try to cure disease or make the body better able to fight disease.

Answer 17

gene therapy

Question 18

is a genetically modified (GM) rice that produces beta carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A.

Answer 18

golden rice
