Advances in Genetics

2. These can be inserted into the cells of cows so that the cows produce the human protein needed in their milk.
3. An organism that has exactly the same genes as the organisms from which it was produced.
7. Selective breeding, cloning, and genetic engineering are three methods for developing organisms with these.
8. Genetic engineering can produce this and improve food crops.
10. This type of apple is a cross between McIntosh and Red Delicious.
13. In Mexico every year farmers saved these from the healthiest plants that produced the best food. This is an example of selective breeding.
16. Inserted genes in plant cells has helped them to survive in this.
17. All the DNA in one cell of an organism.
18. Breeders cross two genetically different individuals so the offspring has the best traits from both parents.
19. A genetically engineered bacteria produces this to help people with diabetes.
20. The crossing of two individuals that have similar characteristics.

1. The main goal of this is to identify the DNA sequence of every gene in the human genome.
4. The process of selecting organisms with desired traits to be parents of the next generation.
5. Scientists have learned that the DNA of humans has at least 30,000 genes and the average gene has about 3000 of these.
6. Some bacteria cells contain small circular pieces of DNA called this.
9. Cloning an organism requires this to be take out of an animal's body cell.
11. Genes from one organism are transferred into the DNA of another organism.
12. These are used to create what is called a DNA fingerprint.
14. Inbred organisms have similar genetic characteristics that increase the probability of inheriting this.
15. This will involve inserting copies of a gene directly into a person's cells to correct genetic disorders.
18. Genetic engineering has allowed scientists to produce a blood clotting agent that people with this disorder need.
