The first step in GM process is identify the gene of interest to be transferred. Group of answer choicesTrueFalse

You are a laboratory scientist and you are participating in a GMO research project. For you to start the methodology of your research you need to recall the process of Recombinant DNA Technology. Sequence the steps below. I. Insert the recombinant gene in the target organism. II. Selecting the gene of interest and a vector.III. Attach the desired gene fragment to the vector by using DNA ligase. IV. Make copies of the desired gene. V. Use restriction enzymes to remove the desired gene from the rest of the genome. Group of answer choicesIII, II, IV, V, III, III, V, I, IVII, V, IV, III, IIII, II, V, IV, I

Score an amber for most questions correct, or a green for all correct.1What does GM stand for?Genetic mutantGenetically modifiedGenome mapGene medicine2What is genetic engineering?A gene with an undesired characteristic is cut out of an organismAn unknown gene is transferred from one organism to anotherA gene with a desired characteristic is introduced from one organism to anotherThe entire genome of an organism is replaced with the entire genome of another3To produce a GM crop, a gene with a desired characteristic is cut out of a plant. How is this gene then introduced to another plant? Added to pesticide which is then sprayed on the plantInserted into the nucleusBy selective breedingAdded to water which is then sprayed on the plant4Which of the following is a medical application of genetic engineering?GM crops that can survive in floodsGM crops that glow in the dark when they lack waterGM crops that are resistant to diseaseGM sheep that produce growth hormone in their milk5Some people are concerned about the effects of genetically modifying crops. Which of the following is an advantage rather than a concern? Long-term effects are unknownPossible eradication of insects from food chainTransplanted genes may spread to other species Increased crop yields
