b) electrophoresis
c) hormones
d) enzymes

The Human Genome Project is an attempt to

For centuries certain animals have been crossed to produce offspring that have desirable qualities. This technique of producing organisms with specific qualities is known as

b) natural selection
c) random mutations
d) selective breeding

In preparation for an electrophoresis procedure, enzymes are added to DNA in order to

a) chromotography
b) direct harvesting
c) meiosis
d) genetic engineering

In the US, there has been relatively little experimentation involving the insertion of genes from other species in human DNA. One reason for the lack of these experiments is that

b) there are many ethical questions to be answered
c) inserting foreign DNA into human DNA would require using techniques that are different
d) human DNA always promotes human survival so there is no need to alter it
