Review #2 Biotechnology

A process where humans breed organisms for specific traits

A natural process where organisms adapt to their environment

A random change in the genetic makeup of organisms

A method used to prevent organisms from inheriting traits

Selective breeding of wheat and rice

Domestication of dogs

Natural adaptation of wild animals

Uncontrolled plant growth

Cross-pollination of desired traits

Random pollination

Natural selection

Genetic mutation

Gregor Mendel

Charles Darwin

Louis Pasteur

James Watson

Genetic modification changes DNA, cloning copies DNA

Cloning changes DNA, genetic modification copies DNA

Both involve changing DNA in the same way

Neither involves DNA

Gene splicing to improve crop yield

Golden rice enriched with vitamin A

Choosing breeding partners for livestock

Creating pest-resistant crops

Accelerates medical breakthroughs

Reduces food production

Decreases biodiversity

Increases pollution

Loss of biodiversity from monoculture farming

Balancing artificial selection with environmental health

Increased genetic diversity

Decreased food production

Developing drought-resistant crops

Breeding livestock with lower methane emissions

Increasing pesticide use

Reducing crop diversity

Personalized crops and animals

Increased use of pesticides

Random breeding of animals

Natural evolution without human intervention

It allows humans to select and enhance specific traits in organisms.

It prevents any changes in inherited traits.

It eliminates the need for natural selection.

It only affects non-living things.
