BIOTECHNOLOGY EXAM
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Which is an agricultural use of genetically Modified
Organisms?
identifying the remains of an unknown person
developing a DNA fingerprint for blood left at a crime
scene
making human insulin for diabetics

the technology to clone humans has not been
explored
human reproduction is very different from that of
other mammals
there are many ethical problems involved in cloning
humans
cloning humans would take too long
