The "GM" stands for this in GM Foods.
What is genetically modified?
100
Stem cells that have become a specific type of cell, such as muscle cells, are said to have undergone this process.
What is differentiation?
100
This is the production of a perfect genetic copy of an organism.
What is cloning?
100
The branch of biotechnology that uses biological process to overcome environmental problems.
What is bioremediation?
100
This is a formulation of a plan or scheme to assist in creating a product.
What is the engineering design process?
200
These were the first commercial GM foods.
What were Flavr Savr tomatoes?
200
These stem cells are derived from the very early stages of an organisms being.
What are embryonic stem cells?
200
This type of mammal was the first to be cloned from an adult cell.
What is a sheep?
200
The indians placing dead fish in their planted rows of corn was an early example of this type of bioremediation.
What is soil fertilization?
200
This type of design results in products which are purposefully created to be outdated or useless in a relatively short time.
What is planned obsolescence?
300
These are the most widely grown GM crops.
What are soybeans and corn?
300
These stem cells are tissue specific and are used by the body to replace damaged cells.
What are adult stem cells?
300
The number of states which have laws pertaining to human cloning.
What is fifteen?
300
The most vital factors that control the effectiveness of soil bioremediation are these.
What are permeability of the soil and the biodegradability of the organic compound?
300
Planned obsolescence ultimately leads to a reduction of these.
What are natural resources?
400
This company is infamous for its GM foods.
What is Monsanto?
400
This is the most common application of stem cells.
What is the replacement of damaged tissue?
400
The meaning of "r" in rDNA.
What is recombinant?
400
In soil or water bioremediation of petroleum, the microbes work on breaking down these until the contaminant is eliminated and no longer an environmental threat.
What are carbon chains?
400
Planned obsolescence is often seen as an immoral way to induce this.
What is consumer spending?
500
This genetically modified thing has been proven to have devastating effects on Monarch butterfly caterpillars.
What is corn pollen?
500
Because of their ability to self-renew, to differentiate into multiple lineages, and to migrate toward a damaged site, these cells, which can be derived from various sources such as fetal tissues and embryonic stem cells, are currently considered to be promising components of cell replacement strategies aimed at treating injuries of the central nervous system, including the spinal cord.
What are neural stem cells?
500
In 2002, researchers at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts, reported that the genomes of cloned mice are compromised. In analyzing more than 10,000 liver and placenta cells of cloned mice, they discovered that about this percentage of genes function abnormally.
What is 4%?
500
Disadvantages of soil and water bioremediation include the fact that little is still known concerning specifics on its effects in areas having these.
What are multiple contaminations?
500
The last stage of the engineering design process where performance criteria are evaluated to inform design changes.
What is "Refine the Design"?
