Genetic Enginering
Genetic engineering is.
What
The product of Mitosis and its characteristic.
What is body cells that are identical to the parent.
The process of genetically modifying something is.
What is to insert a gene from one species into the DNA of a different species.
DNA is....
What is the genetic material of an organism, or the instructions for protein synthesis.
When Mendel tested pea plants he found more pea plants had yellow peas than green peas. The dominant trait would be.
What is yellow peas.
If I pick out orange cats to breed in hopes of getting bright orange kittens, this process is called.
What is: Artificial Selection
Similarities between mitosis and meiosis.
What is both processes duplicate DNA and create new cells. Both processes use PMAT.
"No GMO" is likely to be found on what type of product.
What is organic food labels.
An allele is
What is one specific expression (version) of a gene.
When Mendel tested pea plants he found more pea plants had yellow peas than green peas. The genotype using words not letters for yellow peas would be.
What is heterozygous or homozygous dominant.
Relationship between mutations and genetic disorders is.
What is genetic disorders are always caused by mutations. However, some mutations can be beneficial.
Disjunction is
What is the chromosomes do not divide evenly during Anaphase and the resulting gametes have to many or to few chromosomes in them.
Organisms need chromosomes because...
Chromosomes contain the DNA for an organism. The DNA includes instructions for how the cells should grow, copy and develop.
The relationship between genes and chromosomes.
What is chromosomes are made of genes.
The illustration of a recessive trait in a Punnett square.
What is a lowercase letter.
Steps to make a clone
What is: First, take a unfertilized egg and remove the DNA from the nucleus. Second, insert the DNA of the desired individual. Finally, implant the new zygote in a female to be developed and born.
Why is meiosis a longer process than mitosis?
What is meiosis has two divisions, meiosis goes through the stages of PMAT twice, this makes meiosis take longer than mitosis.
Three positives of using GMOs are.
What is: produce higher amounts of food, produce contains more vitamins or minerals, plants are more able to grow in extreme environments (like hot, cold or salty soil).
Do all members of the same species have the same number of chromosomes?
What is Yes, members of the same species have the same number and type of chromosomes.
Two heterozygous individuals mated and their first three children showed the dominant trait. They should expect this from their fourth child.
What is the fourth child should show the recessive trait.
The difference between genetic engineering and gene therapy.
What is gene therapy is meant to cure an illness or genetic disorder. Genetic engineering can mean healing sickness AND many other things like changing the traits of an organism to look different, grow faster, or contain more nutrients.
The result and significance of crossing over.
What is an exchange of genes between chromosomes and increase of genetic variety.
Three negatives of using GMOs are
What is: increased pesticide use, lower disease resistance, lower plant diversity, limited availability of seeds, etc.
Difference between making a clone and genetic engineering.
What is a clone is an exact copy of an existing organism. Genetic engineering is changing part of an organisms DNA so that it develops differently than it originally would have.
Having freckles is dominant to no freckles. What is the best genotype to marry if a heterozygous individual is determined to have a few freckled children as possible.
What is homozygous recessive. Homozygous recessive parent and a heterozygous parent will have only a 50% chance of freckled children.
