The human genome contains this many base pairs.
What is 3 billion?

Allowing only those individuals with desired traits to reproduce the next generations.
What is selective breeding?
100
This gene codes for a protein that makes jelly fish glow. When inserted into other organisms' genomes, those organisms glow as well.

Having more than 2 sets of chromosomes.
What is polyploidy?
200
DNA made from two different species.
What is recombinant DNA?

This is the study of whole genomes.
What is genomics?
300
This type of selective breeding leads to an increase in recessive traits in a population.

Introducing these to a population can increase genetic variation.
What are mutations?
400
Using an adult cell to produce a genetically identical offspring.
