Question

1. To create animals that have the characteristics of both species, some people have bred buffalo and cattle together. This is an example of (1 point)
inbreeding.
hybridization.
genetic engineering.
transformation.
2. Suppose the human gene coding for hemoglobin is inserted into a bacterial plasmid. A bacterial culture is transformed with the recombinant plasmid. Which of the following statements will be true? (1 point)
The bacteria will not survive.
The bacteria will produce only human hemoglobin.
The bacterial will produce human hemoglobin and its own bacterial proteins

Answer 1

The answer of your question in number 1 is "hybridization". It is breeding two dominant alleles that expresses both phenotype and this is an example of codominance. The answer of your question in number 2 is "The bacteria will produce human hemoglobin and its own baterial proteins". The process of genetic engineering will result the production of bacteria with human hemoglobin that was inserted to it.

Answer 2

1. B, Hybridization
2. C, The bacterial will produce human hemoglobin and its' own bacterial proteins.
3. B, a cell takes in DNA from outside the cell.
4. B, Transgenic bacteria can produce human proteins in large amounts.
