Mutant Turtles
This type of mutation does NOT affect the offspring.
Somatic Mutation
The mating of an organism with a close relative
The use of living organisms to make a new, more desirable organism or product
Biotechnology
The hormone produced by bacteria through genetic engineering
Insulin
The Human Genome Project was an effort to
Map all human genes.
A mutation that occurs in the gametes.
Germ Mutation
The choosing of organisms with desirable traits for breeding.
Selective Breeding
Using special techniques to control the genetic makeup of an organism
Genetic Engineering
Name three benefits of genetic engineering
make insulin, create vaccines, engineer animals with human diseases, produce healthier, tastier foods.
True or False - Genetic engineering can be used within Biblical guidelines.
True to treat diseases, but no make a race of "super humans."
Causes the death of an organism
Lethal Mutation
When a breeder selects and mates dogs from different breeds to achieve a new breed, this is called
Crossbreeding
The use of genetic engineering to correct the defective genes responsible for certain diseases.
Gene Therapy
Name three problems with genetic engineering
A scientist might create an unwanted disease or virus, a G.E. plant might turn into an uncontrollable weed, GMO foods may be a health risk to humans and animals.
Give Two reasons why humans are different than all other creatures.
We are created in the image of God and we have a spiritual nature.
A change in the number of genes on a chromosome
Chromosomal Change
What type of breeding attempts to preserve the special characteristics of a breed
Inbreeding
Any change in the organism's genetic material
Gene mutations disrupt the cellular process by
changing the sequence of the gene bases. The messenger RNA will carry the wrong code and make the wrong protein.
When does life begin?
At fertilization
A change in the sequence of bases that make up a gene.
Gene Mutation
The characteristics of the cow that is a crossbreed of a Brahman and a shorthorn
Excellent meat and can withstand high temperatures
When a person cannot produce enough pigments that color the body
Albinism
True or False: Genetic engineering can solve all of man's problems.
False. Only God can
After identifying the Human Genome, scientists now want to match the gene to the
Trait
