Genetic engineering
Genetic engineering (GE) - correct answer-is the modification of an organism's genetic
composition by artificial means, often involving the transfer of specific traits, or genes, from
one organism into a plant or animal of an entirely different species.

Genetic engineering (GE) - correct answer-is the process of manually adding new DNA to an
organism. The goal is to add one or more new traits that are not already found in that
organism. Examples of genetically engineered (transgenic) organisms currently on the
market include plants with resistance to some insects, plants that can tolerate herbicides,
and crops with modified oil content.

Genetic Engineers - correct answer-can alter the DNA code of living organisms.

Selective Breeding - correct answer-Breed only those plants or animals with desirable traits

Recombinant DNA - correct answer-The ability to combine the DNA of one organism with the
DNA of another organism.

1.Bacteria can make human insulin or human growth hormone.

2.Bacteria can be engineered to "eat" oil spills. - correct answer-Benefits of Recombinant
Bacteria

transgenic organisms. - correct answer-Genetically modified organisms are called

Mice - correct answer-used to study human immune system

Chickens - correct answer-more resistant to infections

Cows - correct answer-increase milk supply and leaner meat

Goats
sheep
pigs - correct answer-produce human proteins in their milk

goat - correct answer-contains a human gene that codes for a blood clotting agent.

goat's milk - correct answer-The blood clotting agent can be harvested in the

PCR - correct answer-Polymerase Chain Reaction

PCR - correct answer-allows scientists to make many copies of a piece of DNA.w

Gel Electrophoresis - correct answer-This technology allows scientists to identify someone's
DNA!

, Genetic Engineering - correct answer-has applications in medicine, research, industry and
agriculture and can be used on a wide range of plants, animals and microorganisms.

medicine - correct answer-Genetic engineering has been used to mass-produce insulin,
human growth hormones, follistim (for treating infertility), human albumin, monoclonal
antibodies, antihemophilic factors, vaccines, and many other drugs.

research - correct answer-organisms are genetically engineered to discover the functions of
certain genes.

Industrial applications - correct answer-include transforming microorganisms such as
bacterial or yeast, or insect mammalian cells with a gene coding for a useful protein. Mass
quantities of the protein can be produced by growing the transformed organism in
bioreactors using fermentation, then purifying the protein.

Genetic engineering - correct answer-is also used in agriculture to create
genetically-modified crops or genetically-modified organisms.

Cloning - correct answer-One of the most controversial uses of genetic engineering

Cloning - correct answer-producing a genetically identical copy of an organism.

Dolly - correct answer-first ever sheep (named )

1996 - correct answer-cloned in what year?

Dolly - correct answer-(July 5, 1996 - February 14, 2003), was the first mammal to have
been successfully cloned from an adult cell.

Roslin Institute in Midlothian, Scotland - correct answer-She was cloned at the , and lived
there until her death

six years old. - correct answer-What's the age?

February 22, 1997. - correct answer-Her birth was announced on

Ian Wilmut
Keith Campbell - correct answer-The scientists who cloned the first animal from adult cells

Roslin Technique - correct answer-created using the so-called

Fibro - correct answer-Name of the male mouse

▪️ Dr. Ryuzo Yanagimachi
▪️ Dr. Teruhiko Wakayama - correct answer-Researches of the mouse

274 - correct answer-How many trials they did for the mouse
