REVIEW QUESTIONS WITH
DETAILED VERIFIED ANSWERS
define allele - correct answer- different versions of a
gene at a given locus
define biotechnology - correct answer- the use and
alteration of organisms, cells, or biological molecules to
produce food, drugs or other goods

DNA together with proteins that organize its 3D structure
and regulate use
define energy - correct answer- capacity to do work

in inevitable
define gene - correct answer- encode the information
needed to produce proteins, cells, and entire organisms
,define locus - correct answer- a gene's physical
location on a chromosome
