Changing the Living World

200

This is when humans allow only the organisms with desired characteristics to breed.

What is selective breeding?

300

This involves the process of taming organisms for humans' benefits.

(wolf to dog).

What is domestication?

400

This is the continual breeding of individuals with similar traits.

What is inbreeding?

500

A segment of DNA that codes for a Physical feature, like eye color or height.

a trait

Manipulating DNA

200

This makes changes in the DNA code of a living organism.

What is Genetic Engineering?

Deoxyribonucleic Acid is the chemical that has instructions for life. What is it abbreviated to?

DNA

400

This is a tool that’s used to separate large and small DNA fragments

What is Gel Electrophoresis?

500

This is a genetic scissor to cut DNA in certain places.

Artificial Selection

200

When humans breed organisms that have desirable traits (biggest fruit, fastest horses) over time.

How is farming using artificial selection of plants?

They use it to make the biggest plants over time with the biggest food grown.

Corn was originally a wild plant called this in North America

maize

Applications of Genetic Engineering

200

What is a clone?

This is a cell, group of cells, or organism that is descended from a single common ancestor- genetically identical.

300

This gene allowed researchers to make glowing plants.

What is luciferase?

400

This is where the DNA is stored in the cell.

What is the nucleus?

500

Dolly the Sheep was the first of these.
