- What is the process by which DNA is transferred from one organism to another? (A) Recombinant DNA technology (B) Genetic engineering (C) Gene cloning (D) All of the above
(A)
Recombinant DNA technology is the process by which DNA from one organism is transferred to another organism. This can be done using a variety of methods, such as gene cloning, gene splicing, and transformation.
- Which of the following is a genetically modified organism? (A) Bt cotton (B) Golden rice (C) Both A and B (D) None of the above
(C)
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are organisms whose DNA has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. Bt cotton and golden rice are both examples of GMOs. Bt cotton is a type of cotton that has been genetically modified to produce a protein that kills pests. Golden rice is a type of rice that has been genetically modified to produce beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A.
- What is the main advantage of using genetically modified crops? (A) They are more resistant to pests and diseases. (B) They produce higher
