Plants can be genetically modified in a number of different ways. Select all
of the methods by which scientists are genetically modifying plants - 🧠
ANSWER ✔✔- Plasmids within the plant pathogen. Agrobacterium
tumefaciens, are used to introduce genes into a plant
- Small particles of genetically modified DNA coated in a metal are fired by
a gene gun into plant tissue
,- Small pieces of RNA are used to silence the expression of specific alleles
CRISPR is a tool used in genome editing. Which of the following
descriptions correctly describes how CRISPR may be used? - 🧠 ANSWER
✔✔- To remove and replace the gene of a soybean to improve the quality
of soybean oil
- To remove and replace the gene of a corn to increase the plant's drought
tolerance
- To treat human diseases by deleting and replacing harmful mutations
- To inactivate genes to determine the role of the gene in the target cell
Genes are the basic physical and functional unit of hereditary and contain
information that codes for a loss of a product - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔False
A gene consists of a long combination of five different nucleotide bases.
Different combinations of the nitrogenous bases give instructions for
different products - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔False
Some genes act as instructions to make molecules called proteins - 🧠
ANSWER ✔✔True
,Some genes do not code for proteins but instead RNA molecules - 🧠
ANSWER ✔✔True
While genes may contain information for a single trait, they often create
products that interact in complex biological pathways that may be
influenced by other genes - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔True
Environmental conditions can influence the expression of a gene - 🧠
ANSWER ✔✔True
It is always a simple process to identify one gene associated with a single
trait - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔False
DNA carries the instructions to produce molecules that carry out of all of
the functions of a cell required for life and ultimately determines the
chemical and physical characteristics of living organisms - 🧠 ANSWER
✔✔True
In DNA, each molecule is encouraged by a gene a specific sequence of
carbohydrates that specify how a molecule is to be made - 🧠 ANSWER
✔✔False

, The primary products of DNA are RNA and the arrangement of nucleotides
within a gene specifies the order and types of amino acids that must be put
together to make an RNA molecule - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔False
Proteins are made of a long chain of chemicals called amino acids, which
are determined by the nitrogenous base sequence of nucleotides - 🧠
ANSWER ✔✔True
Th particular sequence of amino acids in the chain is what makes one
protein different from another - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔True
General description of use of vector - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Genetic material is
introduced into a plant by using a plant bacterial pathogen
General description of particle bombardment - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Plant cells
are transformed by bombarding the tissue with the modified DNA particles
General description of RNA interference - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Plant cells are
transformed by silencing existing genes
Procedure of RNA interference - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Small pieces of RNA
molecules inhibit gene expression by neutralizing targeted mRNA
