In traditional breeding (artificial selection), plants of the same species that contain desirable
traits are continually bred into individuals that don't have the trait. In order to do this...
-takes *many or few* generations?
-have to have individuals that naturally contain *?* for the desirable traits - correct answer ✔✔-
takes *many* generations
-have to have individuals that naturally contain *alleles* for the desirable traits
Top 9 GMO crops - correct answer ✔✔corn, potatoes, canola, cotton, soy, papaya, beets, alfalfa,
summer squash
GMO technology uses *?* from one species and introduces them into another species - correct
answer ✔✔genes
T/F
GMO can be only from plant to plant. - correct answer ✔✔False. Can be from plant to plant,
animal to plant, bacteria to plant, and backwards
What is the difference between GMO and breeding? - correct answer ✔✔GMO introduces new
*genes* into an organism, whereas breeding only adds new *alleles* of a gene already found in
a species
, T/F
Using GMO takes many generations. - correct answer ✔✔False. Skips the need for multiple
generations of crossing.
What are the most common types of GMO in corn? - correct answer ✔✔roundup and BT
(bacillus thuringienesis)
*?* is a "change over time" - correct answer ✔✔Evolution
T/F
Early naturalists figured out from fossil records that old species showed patterns of similarity
and differences to living species. - correct answer ✔✔True
Jean Baptiste de Lamarck initially thought *?* could be passed on, but he was wrong - correct
answer ✔✔acquired traits
*?* is the process by which individuals with advantageous inherited characteristics for a
particular environment survive and reproduce at a higher rate than those lacking that trait -
correct answer ✔✔natural selection
In *?*, we choose what the desirable traits are, but in *?*, nature chooses what traits are
desirable - correct answer ✔✔artificial selection; natural selection
The inherited traits in natural selection are *?* - correct answer ✔✔alleles (the result of
mutation in the DNA)
Advantageous traits become more common and population becomes better suited, or *?*, to
their environment - correct answer ✔✔adapted
