- Many concerns have been raised about the safety of GMOs. These are all concerns that have been raised EXCEPT A. Genes that offer herbicide resistance will be passed on to weedy species making "superweeds". b. GM crops will cross with non-GM crops and move the recombinant genes into crops where farmers don't want them. c. Genes added to crop plants can negatively affect the health of people who eat the crops. d. Genetically modified crops increase the use of fossil fuels and therefore increase the production of carbon dioxide.arrow_forwardWhat is a transgenic organism? a. an organism that has had its entire genome sequenced b. an organism that has genes from another species c. an organism that does not use DNA to specify proteins d. an organism with multiple copies of the same gene e. an organism that has been DNA profiledarrow_forwardGenetically identical organisms derived from a single genetic source are Select one: a.

DNA analysis through genetic testing D. DNA insertion 16. disorder. I A scientist needs many copies of a gene to conduct an 17. experiment. A genetic engineer wants to replace a defective copy of a gene with a functional copy in a chromosome. 18. into bacteria as a plasmid A medical researcher needs many copies of a protein 19. (insulin) to be produced to use in a medical treatment. A researcher crossed two purebred shrubs of the same species. One produces a fruit with a thin skin, and one produces a fruit with a thick skin. All of the plants resulting from the cross produce fruits with thick skins. Enter one letter in each blanks (19 & 20) to correctly complete the sentences. ninate Education TM, Inc.arrow_forwardTo create genetically modified organisms (often called GMOS) scientists directly manipulate the genes of an organism, often by inserting or deleting one or more genes. The inserted gene is usually from another species. The purpose of this manipulation is to give the target organism and its offspring a new trait that improves it in some way. The improvement might, for example, give the organism higher vitamin content. The process is called genetic engineering. 1. What are genetically modified organisms? 2.
