Genetic

The germ mutation refers to any change in an organism's __________ material

True

True or false, genetic engineering is used to produce tastier, more nutritious foods

False

True or false, inherited disorders are always caused by recessive alleles

Chromosomal change

A genetic change involving the number of chromosomes or the number or location of genes on a chromosome

Embryonic stem cells

A stem cell derived from A human embryo

Somatic stem cells

A stem cell taken from the already differentiated tissues of adults or children

A.

Clones are produced by A. Asexual reproduction B. Sexual reproduction C. Genotypic manipulation D. Differentiation

Insulin

Genetic engineering of bacteria has been used to produce ________ for people with diabetes

Cross

In _______ breeding, a breeder chooses organisms with this desirable traits and breeds them, hoping to reproduce the same traits in the offspring

Biotechnology

Is the use of living organisms to make new, more desirable organisms or products

Disorders

Many human genetic ____________ our results of gene mutations

Randomly

Mutations usually occur __________ in the genetic material

Clone

One of a group of organisms with identical genes produced by the asexual reproduction of an individual; to produce organisms asexually

Human Genome Project

The project in which scientists decoded the entire human genome, providing a map of the sequence of DNA bases in the human genome

False

True or false, because of modern medical advances, humans live much longer than they did in the time of Abraham and the other patriarchs

Flood

Two major changes to the earth that are recorded in Scripture are, 1. The curse that God placed on the earth as a result of mans sin and 2. The _______

First that it is one thing to experiment with genetics on animals, but another to do it on humans, because humans are made in God's image and second they can have a personal connection with God

What are two biblical principles that must be considered when making decisions about human genetic engineering?

Well there could be a mistake and damage could occur like if a scientist made a small mistake while working with a virus, he might create a disease organism that could destroy many living things

What is one potential problem with genetic engineering?

Who would care for the deformed humans

What is one potential problem with human cloning?

Therapeutic

What type of cloning is used to provide cells for treatment of disease?

Cursed

When God _________ the physical creation, a major change occurred in living things

C.

Which of these disorders is caused by a sex - linked gene mutation A. Cystic fibrosis B. Malignant hypothermia C. Hemophilia D. All of these

B.

Which of these is a gene mutation? A. A person who has three copies of chromosome 21 instead of the normal two copies B. The substitution of adenine for cytosine on one of the genes on chromosome 14 C. A chromosomal change to an egg cell D. A female who has only one X chromosome instead of two

A germ mutation

Which type of mutation can be passed on to offspring - a somatic mutation or a germ mutation?

Because maybe one of his corn crops is super sweet and he wants more of the sweet corn

Why might a farmer want to clone one of his crops?

Because we will always need salvation

Why can genetic engineering never solve all of man's problems?

Germ

A ______ mutation can affect offspring

Neutral

Some mutations have so little effect that they are considered _________

Gene therapy

The use of genetic engineering to correct defect in an individual

Gene therapy

The use of genetic engineering to correct defective genes responsible for certain disease is called A. Genome management B. Cloning C. Selective breeding D. Gene therapy

Genetic engineering

The use of special techniques to control the genetic makeup of an organism

False

True or false, clones are very common in the animal kingdom

False

True or false, so far, animals formed by cloning have lived much longer, healthier lives than their natural counterparts

True

True or false, some mutations do not cause any noticeable effect in the organism

True

True or false, the changes that we see taking place on earth are examples of degeneration, not evolution

Genome

What is the term for a complete set of an organism's genes

Gene

A Mutation that changes the sequence of bases in DNA is called a ______ mutation

Somatic

A _________ mutation will not affect an organism's offspring

Mutation

A __________ is a change in genetic material

Chromosomal

A _______________ change may involve an entire chromosome or the arrangement of genes on a chromosome

Genetic change

A brief definition of a mutation is a __________ _________

Stem cells

A cell that has the ability to divide itself almost indefinitely and differentiate into many different types of cells

Mutation

A change in the genetic material of a cell is a __________

Gene mutation

A change in the sequence of nucleotides in a gene

B. Crossbreeding

A farmer has 2 corn fields. The corn in one field is very sweet, but the ears are small. The corn in the other field has large ears but doesn't taste very sweet. The farmer decides to breed the large - eared corn with the sweet corn in hopes of getting corn that has large, sweet ears. This is an example of A. Cloning B. Crossbreeding C. Genetic screening D. Gene therapy

Pigment - producing

A mutation in a _________-___________ gene causes albinoism

Germ mutation

A mutation in a gamete or gamete-forming cell

Somatic mutation

A mutation that occurs in body cells (cells that do not make gametes)

Lethal

A mutation that results in the death of a cell or organism is a _______ mutation

Ploidy

A seedless watermelon that has three sets of chromosomes results from a change in ________

B. No

Are human fraternal twins clones? A. Yes B. No C. Only when they are the same sex (two boys or two girls) D. Only when they were formed by reproductive cloning

D. differentiation

As a certain cell divides, it becomes a blood cell. After more divisions, it becomes a white blood cell. Finally, after further division it becomes a neutrophil, which is a special type of white blood cell. This process of becoming more specialized is called A. Somatization B. Cloning C. Mutation D. Differentiation
