34. A whole organism clone is a clone of the organism that:
A) provides the egg cell from which the nucleus is removed.
B) provides the nuclear (diploid) DNA.
C) serves as the surrogate mother and carries the fetus to term.
D) provides the (haploid) sperm cell.
E) fertilizes the egg cell. Ans✓✓✓ B) provides the nuclear (diploid)
DNA.
A gene from a bacterium can be inserted into a corn plant, and the corn
plant will make the same protein as the bacterium. This kind of gene
transfer works because:
A) the bacterium and the corn plant are very closely related from an
evolutionary perspective.
B) the bacterium and the corn plant use the same process and genetic
code for synthesizing proteins.
,C) the bacterium and the corn plant are able to interbreed and produce
fertile offspring.
D) the bacterium infects the corn plant's cells and uses its cellular
machinery to produce the protein.
E) every organism's DNA is identical. Ans✓✓✓ B) the bacterium and
the corn plant use the same process and genetic code for synthesizing
proteins.
A recombinant plasmid created during a recombinant DNA experiment:
A) carries and allows expression of a foreign gene of interest.
B) can be used to insert bacterial genes into a human.
C) consists only of extra-chromosomal bacterial DNA.
D) functions to remove specific genes from a plant.
E) is used in whole organism cloning. Ans✓✓✓ A) carries and allows
expression of a foreign gene of interest.
, A tomato plant that has pest-resistance genes inserted into its genome
can be called a(n):
A) cloned organism.
B) mutated organism.
C) poisonous organism.
D) transgenic organism.
E) unnatural organism. Ans✓✓✓ D) transgenic organism.
Bacteria use restriction enzymes to:
