Q

Transgenic plants are usually made with the help of –, a bacterium that causes crown gall disease

A

Agrobacterium

17
Q

Naturally found – move from the bacterium into the plant cell by a mechanism similar to conjugation

A

Ti plasmids

18
Q

A region of the plasmid, –, is a transposable element that inserts randomly into the genome, but leaves behind all enzymes required for its future movement

19
Q

T/F: Normally tumor production enzymes are moved with the T DNA

20
Q

Recombinant Ti plasmids remove the tumor production enzymes and insert genes of interest between the –

A

ends of the T DNA

21
Q

using agrobacterium requires – plasmids

22
Q

transgenic plants usage: – at random with T-DNAs containing selectable markers

A

Disrupt genes (knockouts)

23
Q

common usage of transgenic plants: – new or modified transgenes

24
Q

another use of transgenic plants is to introduce – genes into plants

25
One of the most common alterations of domesticated crops: --
polyploidy
26
- Treat seeds with mutagen - Plant - Select new characteristics
random mutagenesis
27
- Crossing plants | - Select new characteristics
selective breeding
28
T/F: random mutagenesis and selective breeding are GMOs
false
29
Any plant or animal whose genome has been modified by genetic engineering
Genetically modified organism
30
T/F: All transgenic, knock-out and gene replacements are considered genetic engineering
true
31
T/F: Because of anti-GMO movement golden rice has never come to market
true
32
``` Of all GMO -- soybeans 23% corn 11% cotton 6% canola ```
60%
33
An agrobacterium resistant to glyphosate was isolated led to -- usage of this herbicide which kills all other plants and bacteria
heavy
34
BT-crops -- spraying
decreases
35
Bt proteins have high -- for insects – unlike broad spectrum insecticides
specificity
36
-- crops or interspersing crops that use other insecticidal proteins would prevent resistant insects from becoming a problem.
