Which process is involved in selective breeding? A) Allowing organisms to reproduce without human interference. B) Humans choosing individuals with desirable traits to parent the next generation. C) Using technology to cut DNA and insert genes to get the traits you want. D) None of above. Show Answer Correct Answer: B) Humans choosing individuals with desirable traits to parent the next generation. 2. Which of the following is NOT a form of selective breeding? A) GMOs. B) Hybridization. C) Inbreeding. D) Natural Selection. Show Answer Correct Answer: D) Natural Selection. 3. Food products that have been genetically modified. A) GDOs. B) GFOs. C) GMOs. D) GTOs. Show Answer Correct Answer: C) GMOs. 4. True or False? When GFP gene is expressed it leads to the eventual production of green fluorescent protein (GFP). By splicing the gene of interest (e.g. Human insulin gene) together with a GFP gene and promoter into a plasmid, the recombinant plasmid has a GFP marker gene. The transformed bacteria can be identified because the GFP (protein) fluoresces (glows) green in UV light. A) True. B) False. Show Answer Correct Answer: A) True. 5. Is this quote pro-genetic engineering or con?"In the next 50 years the population will increase by 2 billion. Where will that food come from unless we use more GMOs?" A) Pro(support genetic engineering). B) Con(against genetic engineering). Show Answer Correct Answer: A) Pro(support genetic engineering). 6. Genetic Engineering has changed the way we interact with? A) Animals. B) Living things. C) People. D) Non-living things. Show Answer Correct Answer: B) Living things. 7. What is the process called when a bacterial cell reproduces millions of identical cells with recombinant DNA? A) Photosynthesis. B) Transformation. C) Cloning. D) Mitosis.

Show Answer Correct Answer: B) Transgenic. 15. Selective breeding is ..... A) A process to create an organism with desired traits from parents with those desired traits to benefit humans. B) Natural method of producing offspring with desired traits. C) Creating a new species. D) Making organisms reproduce during times of stress. Show Answer Correct Answer: A) A process to create an organism with desired traits from parents with those desired traits to benefit humans. 16.
