2. Maternal
Explain how Dolly the sheep was cloned (this question is worth 200 points)
An unfertilized egg was taken from a female sheep, and a mammary cell was taken from the animal to be cloned. The nucleus was removed from both the cel and the egg. Then the donors cell's nucleus was inserted into the egg. The egg was put back in the uterus of the female sheep, and the cell grew into Dolly.
Scientists can use genetic engineering to breed organisms from different species.

The mating of two closely related offspring can cause weakened varieties. This is called...
A. Genetic engineering
B. Inbreeding
C.cloning
D. Cross-fertilization
B. Inbreeding
The process where liquid turns into gas
Evaporation
1. The mating of closely related individuals
2. An agent used to get recombinant DNA into the nucleus of a target organism
1. Inbreeding
2. Vector
Explain how scientists can make bacteria into little factories that produce human proteins (this question is worth 400 points)
Scientists make the DNA sequence that codes for the desired human protein. They use either a phage or plasmid to get the small strand of DNA into the nucleus of the bacteria cell and spliced into the bacterias own DNA. In the normal course of bacterial growth, it periodically uses the instructions coded into the DNA to transcribe and translate the DNA into mRNA, from which the cell makes the protein that it is coded for.

What are the four states of matter?
Liquid, solid, gas, plasma
1. Changing the DNA of cells by using recombinant DNA and a plasmid vector

1. Transformation
2. Phages
The mating of closely related parents to produce offspring is called hybrid breeding
False the mating of closely related parents to produce offspring is called inbreeding
Exceptionally strong and vigorous plants have been developed by...
A. Natural selection

D. Cross-fertilization
D. Cross-fertilization
The force that opposes motion between two surfaces
Friction
1. The process of changing a cells genes
2. The point along the DNA at which one nucleotide pair is different than most people's DNA
1. Transfection
2. Single nucleotide polymorphism
Half of the DNA of a clone comes from its mother, and half comes from its father
False all of a clones DNA is identical of the donor cell - not the unfertilized egg cell
A living things whose DNA has been altered by the addition or deletion of genes is called a...
A. Vector
B. GMO
C. Plasmid
D. Clone
B. GMO
A type of rock formed from cooled magma or lava
Igneous rock
Selective breeding is the random mating of organisms
False selective breeding is breeding of parent organisms based on their traits to get the desired outcome.
Give an example of how the human genome project can be used appropriately and inappropriately
Appropriate- genetic counseling prior to conception, researchers looking for cures or treatments for diseases such as cancer
Inappropriate- insurance companies or employers discriminating against people carrying genes for diseases by denying employment or insurance, parents wishing to create designer children
