Mutation

Pedigree mapping

5) Match the genetic engineering for the following terms.


keeps pests from eating and destroying crops
contains human genes and are often used in medical research
has been used to treat cystic fibrosis, cancer and AIDS

True

False

7) Choose the best answer.

The manipulation of human genes in order to treat or cure genetic disorders is ___________.

recombinant DNA

genetic engineering

cloning

gene therapy

Answer 1

4) Cloning

5) Matching:
- keeps pests from eating and destroying crops — genetically modified (transgenic) crops (e.g., Bt crops)
- contains human genes and are often used in medical research — transgenic animals/organisms carrying human genes
- has been used to treat cystic fibrosis, cancer and AIDS — gene therapy
- can be used to break down garbage and toxic waste, thus helping to reduce pollution — bioremediation using genetically engineered microbes

6) True

7) gene therapy
