- Q1Which is the correct order of events in creating a transgenic organism?a plasmid is cut by a restriction enzyme - the plasmid is transferred to a bacterial cell - a specific gene is identified in DNA - the DNA fragment is placed in a plasmid - the DNA fragment of interest is isolateda specific gene is identified in DNA - the DNA fragment of interest is isolated - a plasmid is cut by a restriction enzyme - the DNA fragment is placed in a plasmid - the plasmid is transferred to a bacterial cellthe DNA fragment of interest is isolated - the plasmid is transferred to a bacterial cell - a specific gene is identified in DNA - the DNA fragment is placed in a plasmid - a plasmid is cut by a restriction enzymethe DNA fragment is placed in a plasmid - the DNA fragment of interest is isolated - a specific gene is identified in DNA - the plasmid is transferred to a bacterial cell - a plasmid is cut by a restriction enzyme300s
- Q2Which is a step in the process of producing transgenic bacteria?A mutation is produced in a bacterial cell.A chain of bacterial amino acids is inserted into human DNA.A plasmid is used to replace a faulty gene in a human cell.A human gene is inserted into a bacterial plasmid.300s
- Q3Which is one reason scientists produce transgenic organisms?to control microorganisms in the soilto create new species of organismsto treat certain types of diseasesto prevent habitats from being destroyed300s
- Q4What is the function of a restriction enzyme?to cut DNA into fragments at specific sequencesto create clonesto restrict growth of bacteria in cellsto restrict the production of proteins at the ribosome300s
- Q5What is the purpose of cloning?to make genetically identical organismsto diagnose diseasesto place new genes in an organismto treat genetic disorders300s

- Q11How is recombinant DNA made?by joining DNA molecules with proteins from a different speciesby joining DNA molecules from two chromosomes of the same organismby joining DNA molecules with RNA moleculesby joining DNA molecules from two different species300s
- Q12Which is the best example of how transgenic organisms are used to improve health?producing rice that contains vitamin Acreating crops that have genes that resist weed-killing chemicalsengineering livestock that possess extra copies of growth hormone genessynthesizing bacteria that is resistant to antibiotics300s
