| Nano is a prefix that means: | One-Billionth |
| Which stem cells are most often used to avoid rejection by the patients immune system? | Adult stem cells |
| Pluripotent stem cells are reprogrammed adult cells produced in a lab to take on characteristics of which type of stem cell? | Embryonic Stem cells |
| When a scientist charts the position of known genes and other markers relative to each other, this process is called: | Genetic Mapping |

| Particles in sunscreen may accumulate in a water source. This is known as: | Bioaccumalation |
| Somatic stem cells are undifferentiated cells that are also called: | Adult stem cells |
| Any number of viable DNA codings of the same gene, occupying a given position on a chromosome, are known as: | An allele |
| Examining properties that can be described as one-billionth are: | Nanoparticles |
| What approval process do biomedical researchers seek when they create a transgenic animal? | They apply for a patent from the U.S. Patent and trademark office. |
| What medical device made the external cardiac pump obsolete? | The Artificial heart |
| One benefit of creating a genetically modified mammal is to: | Produce animal models for research |
| A xenograft is used in a heart transplant. Where did this tissue come from? | A different species |

| What animal was successfully cloned in a research facility in Scotland in 1996 from an adult stem cell? | A sheep |
| Using genetically modified pigs to harvest heart valves for humans demonstrates which benefit of genetically modified organisms? | Tissue and organ donors |
| Nanobiotechnology research must be conducted in which type of space designed specifically to keep out all airborne particles? | Clean rooms |
| Adult stem cells are undifferentiated cells that are also known as: | Somatic stem cells |
| The first step to building a new organ using regenerative medicine is to build a: | Scaffold |
| Replace, reduce, and refine are alternative scientific methods researchers use to: | Design experiments that do not use animals |
