These are the two types of cloning we learned about this semester.
What is therapeutic cloning and reproductive cloning?
100
Three benefits to GMOs.
What is lower price, greater durability, increased nutritional value, improve crop protection, grow food faster
100
This is what the BRCA test looks for.
What is the breast cancer susceptibility test? Whether or not you are carrying that/those gene(s).
100
Draw and label the two parts of a blastocyst.
What is the placenta and ICM?
200
The process where unspecialized cells become specialized.
What is differentiation?
200
We can call these siblings "natural clones".
What are identical twins?
200
Three potential harms of GMOs.
What is environmental damage, risk to food web, cross-pollination, allergies and toxins, potential health risks, no long term studies?
200
This is the primary benefit of genetic testing.
What is prevention and/or improving personal health?
200
In humans, this cell would have 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus.
What is a somatic cell?
300
What ICM stands for.
What is Inner Cell Mass
300
This is what SCNT stands for.
What is somatic cell nuclear transfer?
300
These two countries do not label GMOs.
What is the United States of America and Canada?
300
Proteins are made in this organelle.
What is the ribosome?
300
Ms. Finch's new last name.
What is Bosworth
400
These stem cells are NOW pluripotent, but only because they were induced by scientists. What were these stem cells ORIGINALLY?
What is adult stem cells / multipotent stem cells
400
A human gamete has this number of chromosomes.
What is 23?
400
This organism will carry the DNA from one organism into the other.
What is a vector?
400
This process makes proteins using an RNA strand. This is the second step in protein synthesis.
What is translation?
400
This is how organisms grow.
What is cell division (mitosis)?
500
Human embryonic stem cell research is controversial because the embryo must be destroyed in order to harvest the stem cells. What new technology is being used to avoid this ethical dilemma? What type of stem cell has the same potential, but does not require the destruction of an embryo?
What are induced pluripotent stem cells? (iPS)
500
The names of the two "famous" animals we learned about who were cloned. (Names of the clones themselves - spelling counts)
Who is Dolly and CC
500
Genetic material that has been transferred from one organism to another.
What is transgenic?
500
This is the first step in protein synthesis, which takes place in the nucleus. The process of making RNA from DNA.
What is transcription?
500
The definition of bioethics.
What is the study of controversial ethical issues based on situations/possibilities brought about by advances in biology and medicine. It is also moral discernment (ability to judge well) as it relates to medical policy, practice, and research.
