Artificial Selection and Genetic Modification

A scientist uses genes from bacteria to create a new type of corn plant. This is an example of:

Golden rice is developed by adding an allele to the rice that produces high levels of beta carotene (a necessary nutrient). This is an example of:

Farmers replant seeds of tomato plants that produce very large tomatoes. This is an example of:

A slow process used to produce offspring with desirable traits. This is an example of:

A jellyfish gene is inserted into a zebra fish nucleus to create a fish that glows. This is an example of:

To survive cold conditions, a tomato plant is inserted with a gene of a fish that lives in the Arctic Ocean to prevent it from freezing.

Process that manipulates (changes) the DNA of the organism. This is an example of:

Cloned mice are created in the science lab. This is an example of:

A genetic disease is cured by inserting a gene that produces the correct protein. This is an example of:

Mosquitoes spread disease, scientists change the insect genome (DNA) of the mosquito to prevent the spread of disease. This is an example of:

Farmers lose crops to drought; scientists modify the genome (DNA) of the crops to survive with less water. This is an example of:

Hunters require a dog that can chase rabbits into a burrow; dogs are bred with one another to develop a dog with short legs and a long tail which are good for hunting.

A lion and tiger are bred together to produce a liger. This is an example of:

Dogs are related to the grey wolf. This is an example of:

Farmers save the seeds of the juiciest apples; next year's crop yields (produces) juicier apples. This is an example of:
