A genetic disorder caused by a mutation in a person's DNA that causes the body to create especially thick and sticky mucus. This mucus gets into the lungs and clogs the airways.

What is Down Syndrome?

Two types of selective breeding.
What are inbreeding and hybridization.

What is a karyotype?
300
A genetic disorder where a person's blood clots slowly, if at all?
What is a hemophilia?
300
The process of selecting a few organisms with desirable traits to serve as parents for the next generation.
What is selective breeding?
300
Splicing a plasmid, inserting working genes from a human into the DNA of a plasmid. The bacterial cell then reporduces and creates the human protein. This is done because of this.
What is the process of genetic engineering?
300
The goal is to have both of the parents desired traits from genetically different individuals.
What is hybridization?
300
A person who has 1 recessive gene for a trait, but does not have the trait.
What is a carrier?
400
Abnormal condition that a person inherits through genes or chromosomes.
What is a genetic disorder?
400
Controls skin color.
What are multiple genes?

Trackerjackers (bees in The Hunger Games) are created using this method.
What is genetic engineering.
400
The insertion of working copies of a gene into the cell of a person with a genetic disorder in attempt to correct the disorder.
What is gene therapy?
400
Small ring of DNA found in the cytoplasm of bacterial cells.
What is a plasmid?
