◉What term do we use for the genetic manipulation of living organisms
for human needs? Examples include production of drugs and industrial
uses.
A biotechnology
B biomanipulation
C bioaccumulation
D genetic technology . Ans: A biotechnology
◉Much research has been done in the cloning of animals; a tadpole in
1954, Dolly the sheep in 1997, and the endangered gaur are just a few of
the "famous" cloned animals. However, cloning of animals has met with
limited success. Which statement is a scientific argument against the
cloning of animals?
, A Animals on the endangered species list could be cloned, and their
populations would increase.
B Most cloned animals have a compromised immune system and have a
low survival rate.
C Cloning of animals can be beneficial in the treatment and prevention
of many diseases.
D New technologies and scientific equipment have made cloning of
animals safe. . Ans: B Most cloned animals have a compromised
immune system and have a low survival rate.
◉Scientists have developed new techniques for producing organisms
with desirable traits. Genetic modification allows scientists to insert
genetic material from one organism into another organism. For example,
one type of genetically modified corn contains genetic material from a
species of bacterium. The genetically modified corn plants produce a
specific substance that causes pests to die when they feed on these corn
plants.Which statement best describes how genetic modification
technology differs from selective breeding techniques used by humans
thousands of years ago?Use scratchpad feature to describe incorrect
answer.
A Genetic modification technology is available to more people.
B Genetic modification technology requires a longer time to create a
change in a species.
C Genetic modification technology introduces completely new traits into
an unrelated organism.
