Genetic Unit Test

Involves 2 species to mate

Involves the manipulation of genes

Tough wild boars mated with friendly meaty pigs give you robust & meaty pigs for your farm.

Must be performed in a lab with special equipment

Don’t need any special tools or lab

used mostly for dogs, cats, other pets, cattle, and crops.

Reduces the chance of getting “undesirable” organisms

crosses (mates) organisms with desirable traits to produce offspring that have the traits from both parents!

Involves mating organisms with different “desirable” traits to get offspring with the

It produces an organism that has a new trait it would most likely not have developed on its own

only requires one person and normally it can split into two can make offspring without another parent.

two parents come together to make an offspring with egg and sperm.

The trait that always will show up in the DNA

They determine traits. A stretch of DNA on a chromosome with instructions for one trait. DNA contains this.

Genes that have 2 identical alleles. Homo means the same (RR,rr)

The physical characteristics of a trait, or what it looks like.

Taking DNA from one organism and inserting it into another organism’s DNA sequence to ensure the organism will have a specific trait.

Can be performed easily by farmers & breeders

Identifying certain genes and moving or removing genes.

The genetic makeup of an individual that is represented by 2 letters

different versions of the same trait. We use letters to represent those traits. Everyone has two of these

The trait that is overcome by a dominant trait. Can only show up if there are two of them.

Genes that have 2 different alleles. Hetero means different. (Rr)
