10. Which of the following seals the sticky ends of restriction fragments to make recombinant DNA? DNA ligase. 11. Which of the following is used to make complementary DNA (cDNA) from RNA? Reverse transcriptase 12. Which of the following separates molecules by movement due to size and electrical charge? Gel electrophoresis. 13. In order to identify a specific restriction fragment using a probe, what must be done? A, B, and C are correct. 14. RFLP analysis can be used to distinguish between alleles based on differences in which of the following? Restriction enzyme recognition sites between the alleles 15. DNA microarrays have made a huge impact on genomic studies because they allow the expression of many or even all of the genes in the genome to be compared at once. 16. Which was developed by a British researcher and causes DNA sequences to be transferred to a membrane and identified with a probe? Southern blotting. 17. Reproductive cloning of human embryos is generally considered unethical. However, on the subject of therapeutic cloning there is a wider divergence of opinion. Which of the following is a likely explanation? Cloning to produce embryonic stem cells may lead to great medical benefits for many. 18. Genetic engineering is being used by the pharmaceutical industry. Which of the following is not currently one of the uses? Creation of products that will remove poisons from the human body 19. Genetically engineered plants include a transgenic rice plant that can help prevent vitamin A deficiency. 20. Gene therapy had apparent success in treating disorders involving bone marrow cells. 21. Scientists developed a set of guidelines to address the safety of DNA technology. Which of the following is one of the adopted safety measures? Microorganisms used in recombinant DNA experiments are genetically crippled to ensure that they cannot survive outside of the laboratory. 22. Which of the following is one of the technical reasons why gene therapy is problematic? Transferred genes may not have appropriately controlled activity. 23. As genetic technology makes testing for a wide variety of genotypes possible, which of the following is likely to be an increasingly troublesome issue? The need to legislate for the protection of the privacy of genetic information 24. Which of the following statements is consistent with the results? C is the child of A and B. 25.
