Question
Answer
Removing genes from molecules of DNA requires the use of special   restriction enzymes.  
🗑
To seal the cut fragments of DNA together, an enzyme called _____ is used.   ligase  
🗑
Enzymes that cut DNA at specific sequences of bases are called   restriction endonucleases  
🗑
A friend asks you a question after your biology class. "What is genetic engineering?" You answer,   Genetic engineering is moving genes from one organism to another.  
🗑
Gentetic engineering in agriculture has been employed to make crops   resistent to pests, resistent to certain herbicides, and more nutritious.  
🗑
Crop plants are made resistent to insect pests by   inserting a gene from bacteria that secrete Bt into the plant.  
🗑
Glyphosate, the active ingredient in the herbicide RoundUp, is a good choice for engineering plants to be resistent to because,   it is a powerful herbicide, it is readily biodegradable, and humans are not affected by it.  
🗑
"Golden" rice is so-named because it contains   vitamin A and iron  
🗑
A number of human genes have been inserted into bacteria to produce useful human proteins.   Hemoglobin is not one of them.  
🗑
of what benefit is the metallothionin gene that is inserted into golden rice genome?   to supply extra sulfur to increase iron uptake.  
🗑
what is incorrect about genetically modified crops   they are not allowed to be grown in the U.S.  
🗑
Which is incorrect about restriction enzymes?   hey are found in bacteria and eukaryotes.  
🗑
one disease in which gene therapy was used, but not successfully yet is   cystic fibrosis  
🗑
scientists in Scotland figured out a novel method to clone cells successfully. It involved   using an egg and a nucleus that were at the same stage of the cell cycle.  
🗑
Ian Wilmut successfully cloned Dolly the sheep from a fully differentiated sheep cell. This type of cloning is called   reproductive cloning  
🗑
genomic imprinting works by   blocking the cell's ability to read certain genes.  
🗑
a clear distinction between therapeutic cloning and reproductive cloning is that   therapeutic cloning involves the eventual destruction of the of the embryo, whereas reproductive cloning doesn't.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
