Animals that produce human medicines could be cloned. How are selective breeding, cloning, and genetic engineering similar? They are all controlled by nature. They are all controlled by humans. They all begin with the use of udder cells. They all involve the use of enzymes that cut DNA. They are all controlled by humans. In 2005, scientists used cells from a dog named Tai to produce a new puppy with DNA identical to Tai's. What genetic technology was used? cloning

Check all that apply. cows that are able to fight off diseases rice that has added provitamin A corn that is resistant to diseases wheat that is not killed by weed killer corn that can grow in cold places cows that are able to fight off diseases corn that is resistant to diseases wheat that is not killed by weed killer corn that can grow in cold places Which statements describe gene therapy? Check all that apply. Gene therapy includes selective breeding. Gene therapy includes the cloning of DNA. Gene therapy is a form of genetic engineering. Gene therapy is an attempt to cure diseases. Gene therapy involves replacing mutated genes. Gene therapy is a form of genetic engineering. Gene therapy is an attempt to cure diseases. Gene therapy involves replacing mutated genes. Artificial selection is another name for ___. selective breeding People living in some countries have a difficult time obtaining foods that are high in vitamin A. Which advantage of genetic technologies would these people most benefit from? higher tolerance of crops to temperature changes decreased crop resistance to disease lowered cost of food production increased nutritional value of crops increased nutritional value of crops Which statements describe gene therapy? Check all that apply. It cures all cases of cystic fibrosis. It involves the modification of DNA. It is easy to apply to all cells affected by the disorder. It attempts to replace a mutated gene with normal DNA. It does not always cure patients who use it. It involves the modification of DNA. It attempts to replace a mutated gene with normal DNA. It does not always cure patients who use it. Which procedure is an attempt to correct a genetic disorder by replacing a mutated gene with a normal allele? selective breeding cloning artificial selection gene therapy gene therapy

She crosses two parent plants that have large purple flowers in order to produce the desired trait in the offspring. Which best describes this scenario? genetic engineering gene therapy cloning selective breeding selective breeding Janelle thinks that genetic engineering could be used to make a larger fruit rather than cloning the fruit. Which would best support her point of view? Genetic engineering does not cost as much. Genetic engineering does not result in genetically identical organisms. Genetically engineered foods never cause allergies in people. Genetically engineered foods have not been modified. Genetic engineering does not result in genetically identical organisms. A scientist takes a cell from one cow and an egg from a second cow. The scientist removes the DNA from the egg and replaces it with the DNA from the first cow. The scientist's goal is to produce a baby cow with DNA that is identical to the first cow. Which best describes this scenario? genetic engineering gene therapy cloning selective breeding cloning A researcher changes the DNA in a soybean plant so that it produces offspring with a resistance to weed killer. Which best describes this scenario? genetic engineering gene therapy cloning selective breeding genetic engineering
